Except from Rachel's blog (this is what happens when you get behind, you get lazy):
So Megan decided to come visit me for my baby shower this weekend. Then I got the idea, since I am one of two maids of honor for her wedding, that I should throw her a bridal shower! I love to plan parties and this was obviously the perfect occasion to do so. I went with a picnic theme. It was meant to be low key and laid back. Twelve guests attended including me, Megan, and my mom. Oh yeah! Since my mom heard we were going to wedding dress shop that weekend and have a bridal shower too she thought it would only be fair if the mother of the bride come along as well. What a weekend! We were sooo busy. Anyway, back to the shower. Picnic themed. We served dinner: Costco Rotisserie chicken, corn, watermelon, baked beans, pasta salad, pink lemonade, and water. Then we played two games, one was to answer as many questions correctly about the bride as you can, and the second was to guess how many answers Megan would get right on questions that Chris answered about himself before hand. All in all the games were fun and I think everyone had a great time. For dessert we served cup cakes and root beer floats. We meant to play Volleyball after that but it seemed like everyone needed to get going by then. I gave some bright orangish-red geraniums as a bridal favor.
I was so grateful to Rachel for planning this wonderfully fun Bridal Shower!
