Kristy's Bridal Shower

Jason's sister (my sister in-law)Kristy is getting married in a week and I am super excited for her!  It has been a long time since we have had a wedding.  Well, I mean on his side of the family, in my family they happen every couple of years it seems.  Any way I decided to throw Kristy a bridal shower.  

 The decorations turned out pretty cute.

 I spent way too much time, money and energy on them.

 This bride sign is my favorite. 

 I made special table cloths, and they didn't even fit the tables.  I decided that the church has abnormally long tables. 

 I wanted it to be really special for Kristy.  We played bingo, and I had lottery tickets for the games.

 The tables were fun, and had lots of color.

 I sewed this pennant banner, it took me forever.  It looked way long at my house, but at the church it only went back and forth once in one room. 

These were my party favors.  So to end I have some bad karma with showers of any kind.  I have thrown one before where literally no one came. We ended up inviting the groom and the brides father to play games and stuff so it wasn't all just wasted.  Anyway I was prepared for 30 people, 13 people came and that includes the bride and me.  Oh well I know Kristy appreciated it and she got some great presents.  Thanks everyone who helped and came, you rock!!  

Next time I told Jason, I am just going to make reservations at a restaurant and pay for everyone's meal.  No stress, no clean up, or set up, and less expensive.
