Two weeks ago I had my wedding shower!
I have not been involved in the planning process at all. I know my mom, sister, mother in law, sister in law, and friend were involved in the planning process but I didn't really give any input besides not a lot of Disney elements. Just subtle Disney. I kept telling her not to over do because she doesn't have a lot of money but I could tell she wasn't going to listen to me.
I ended up registering at Crate & Barrel, Kohls, and Bed Bath & Beyond. I definitely got the most gifts from Kohls when I wanted that to be the least amount of gifts. Oh well. I still have a few things I want at C&B and BB&B.
The weekend of my shower turned pretty cold so I decided on my long Lilly Pulitzer Maxi Dress. I wasn't that excited about it but I ended up loving it.
The day before I had to run a lot of errands. I had to buy Spanx (those are soo expensive!!), a new strapless bra, thank you cards, and I got a mani/pedi.
I love the nude.
The shower was at my Catholic gradeschool and church in a little meeting room. I was so nervous before. I didn't want to be the center of attention and I was just nervous to have everything surrounding me for a few hours. I gotta get used to that for the wedding.
My sister does makeup and she did my makeup before we left.
The first thing I saw was

This was in the middle of the room. Soo pretty!
There were a lot of collages.
There were quite a few people there when I arrived but not everyone.
My mom pinned me with my corsage.

Aunts..they are all coming to the wedding.
The first thing we did was introductions, then we all got up to eat. The food was very yummy!
Then we played our games.
There was a game to match the disney love song, a whats in your purse, a hidden mickey game(they hid five hidden mickeys throughout the party), and the back was a he said she said. If they thought I said, they would hold up this pair of lips. If they thought he said they would help us a mustache. I loved the games!!
Then my sister was going to play the video that she created for me and Corey. Sadly, the sound didn't work. I felt so bad for her.

Instead we started opening presents, which was hectic! I haven't been to a shower in a long time but no one really watched. It was fun to open up presents and see who got me what. I already knew what I was getting but I loved opening up the presents.
We took a mini break for the cake.
My favorite flavor was amaretto with bavarian cream.
Here a few of my favorite presents.
