Amy's Bridal Shower!

 

For the past two months, we have been secretly planning my little sister's bridal shower.  She is getting married in September, but we wanted to have the shower early since summers are always crazy for everyone.  And let's just say, she was totally surprised!  

We went with a 1950s theme and asked guests to dress in their finest 1950s housewife attire.  I made a lot of the decorations, with some help from friends and family.  The favors were also all handmade.  Jeremy even helped out!  He made Happy Birthday Veronica signs to trick Amy.  He also made direction cards that we placed in each of the invitations.  And the shower wouldn't be complete without a 1950s soundtrack, complete with little commercial breaks, all put together by Jeremy!  

Now on to pictures!

My mom and grandparents made quiche and finger sandwiches (tuna salad, ham salad and egg salad).  Brian's (Amy's fiance) mom put together some turkey and roast beef finger sandwiches as well.  We also had help with the salads and appetizers from friends and family.

And no party could be complete without cake!  Our aunt made this awesome retro mixer cake.  She spent hours on it and it came out beautiful!  The mixer part is rice crispy treats and the bowl and batter is cake and icing.  Not only did it look great, it tasted great!
