Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Party!

In case anyone is counting, only 26 more days until we're married!!

Getting so close can only mean one thing... wedding festivities! That's what we spent Saturday doing :) My Maid of Honor, Bridesmaid, and Mom hosted a beautiful bridal shower for us this weekend. It was so much fun and we are so spoiled! We ate, we played bridal games, we opened gifts, we chatted and mingled. It was just a really wonderful day! I was so excited to see everyone I hardly slept the night before. (Bridal confession: Since I couldn't sleep, I was up at 6am working on wedding programs!)

I cannot say it enough, we are so incredibly blessed by the people in our lives, coming together to help us celebrate the new journey we're about to start! We are so happy so many people could make it from out of town and really missed those who couldn't be there.

Here's the highlight reel:

The spread! My mom and bridal party helped to make a yummy appetizer buffet.

My daddy surprised me with flowers before he whisked the boys off to the movies!

 

My MOH and her mom brought my favorite cookies from my favorite bakery back home!

See what I mean? Spoiled!

After the shower, the girls and I went to our apartment for a Bachelorette Party pre-game. Then, we met some of the moms at Painting with a Twist! It was a blast :) You get to paint and drink?! When we set it up, the owner was so sweet she opened another class up and let me pick the painting... with my groom in mind, I picked "Turtle in the Sand." We were all so worried about how they would turn out but we all did pretty good! It was so fun we can't wait to go back :)

My finished product! Not too shabby if I do say so myself :)

My friends dressed me up right!!

Our turtles!

It was certainly a very fun day, filled with lots of love and laughter! We can't wait for more wedding festivities and have a full calendar for the next 26 days :)
