Braquel's Bridal Shower

We did Braquel's bridal shower in a cupcake theme. I rented the Senior Citizen center since I didn't want to deal with bugs, lack of a kitchen, and the heat at the local park. Everything was black, white, and hot pink and polka dots. The tables were set with black tablecloths, white square plates, polka dot napkins, and black silverware. We used doilies in the center and the wrapped cupcakes and black, white, and hot pink polka dot confetti in the middles. We also served Shirley Temples for the pink drink.

I covered an old hot cocoa container with polka dot paper and a doily for a date night canister. I bought large popsicle sticks and we had the guests write date night ideas on them. On one side, we used a pink pen and wrote ideas for dates that cost nothing. On the other side, we used a black pen and wrote ideas for dates that did cost money.

We individually wrapped cupcakes (notice the polka dot cupcake liners!)for all of the guests. They took some time, but they were really cute and we could send some home with the guests without them getting too messy.

These were the party favors that we set by each plate. You can't really see the tag but it says something about it being sweet of the guest to come share her day with her. We filled them with Hershey kisses and raspberry bliss chocolate. Again, the black white and pink! I also made about twenty tissue paper pom pom flower things to hang all over. I didn't get any pictures of them, but they turned out awesome. There were all different sizes and I even found black polka dot tissue paper for some. We hung two or three at various lengths above each table so it kind of looked liked chandeliers.

Braquel got very spoiled! It was great of so many family members and friends to come and support her.

My niece, Mackenzee came down with her mom for the shower. Her and Ellie were so cute; they walked around holding hands and just grinning at each other. They play together so cute!

Some other fun things we did at the shower that I didn't get pictures of was a 20 question game about Braquel. It was fun to see who knew her the best; however, I have to say that Keven was asked the same questions and he would have beat everyone at the shower! He answered 17 out of 20 correctly! We also did a game with candy bars. I would say something like "the Honeymoon night" and guests had to answer it with a candy bar name. The answer to that one is "Skor". It was really fun and then I gave a basket with each of the candy bars in it to the winner. We also did tee-shirts for the bride, mother of the bride, mother of the groom, and the bridesmaids that all had titles written in rhinestones on them. We also made tulle tu-tus for the flower girls to wear. We had lots of fun planning the shower and I thought it turned out really cute!
