This was my first marriage and I wanted to plan the perfect wedding shower. I knew I needed help, so I asked my sister if she wanted to help me. She said yes and was as happy as I was. I know there is a lot that goes into planning a wedding shower and I was excited and ready to get started. I have planned showers before and I knew my shower would turn out awesome. I didn’t have a lot of time and I knew I better get started with the planning.
My sister and I searched for a hall to rent that was big enough to accommodate all of the guests. We found a hall close by my home. We then went searching on the internet for all the decorations and gifts. There were a lot of themed wedding ideas that were gorgeous. I bought all my decorations and gifts for the shower. It was time to find the shower favors. There was a big variety to choose from. This took some time to figure which one I wanted because they had so many to choose from. When I came across an incredible handkerchief, I knew that is what I wanted my guests to get as a gift. I thought I could purchase one for me and have it on me the day I get married. I seen a dress handkerchief that was so beautiful. I was positive that my family and friends would like the ladies handkerchiefs. My decision was to pick the lace handkerchief for my guests.
All my plans we going well. The hall was reserved and we bought the decorations, gifts, and wedding favors. I now had to plan what I was going to have as food for my shower. I was going to have it catered, but it was way too expensive for my budget. I went through my recipes and found some awesome dinners and side dishes that we could make. Our local bakery makes cakes for showers, so that is who we ordered it from. All the planning was finished. I picked out these gorgeous invitations and mailed them. All we needed to now is wait patiently for the day of the shower.
It was the day of the shower and I and my sister went to the hall early to set the tables and decorate. It took us about an hour to decorate the hall. When we were finished decorating, the hall looked so good. I even took pictures to remember how it looked. The cake was on the table with the food and each table had a center piece. Each setting had a cotton handkerchief. If you were to walk in the room, you would think how gorgeous it looked.
I had such a good time with my family and friends after they arrived. My guests enjoyed each other’s company. We had fun playing games and eating. I heard throughout the shower that my guests liked receiving the handkerchief as a gift. I couldn’t believe how many gifts I got from all my guests. I did not want my shower to end, because I had so much fun and so did my guests.
At the end of the shower and when everybody was going home, my guest told me that they really loved the handkerchief. It made me glad that I chose a handkerchief for my wedding favor. My shower was a success and will be in my memory always. I am so glad that my sister was there to plan the shower with me. It meant so much to me that she was a part of this.|It made me feel good that she was by my side through this.|She really touched my heart during this.[/spin] That is the reason she is my maid of honor.
