Wedding Showers

I rarely participate in blog link ups but this this one would be a fun stroll down memory lane.  Kelly's Korner is talking about wedding showers today, and I am sure there will be lots of fun ideas.

I love couple's showers, and recently I hosted one for one of our best couple friends.  Since it was in the summer, we did a beach inspired shower.

 I made homemade iced sugar cookies in various beachy shapes that you can see displayed on a white tray below.

We served pork tenderloin, salad, stuffed mushrooms, a shrimp and crab mold, shrimpo de gallo and marinated cheese

Last summer I also hosted a bridal shower for my precious sister-in-law.

 I used my crystal for this since it was all girls and a smaller crowd.

 Gift/sign-in table

 I loved all the bright colors on the food table.  We did a more traditional bridal shower menu with fruit, muffins, chicken salad finger sandwiches, marinated cheese, and homemade sugar cookies (This time to match the flowers on the invitations).

I had many beautiful wedding showers that were hosted for my husband and I as well.  I wish I could share all of the pictures but this post would probably be a mile long.  I am excited to see everyone else's ideas to steal use in the future!
