My Surprise Bridal Shower Was Sunday


Recommended Posts

My surprise bridal shower was on Sunday. Even though no one slipped, I still knew it was my shower. I loved my shower. It was absolutely perfect. It was held at a country club near us on a beautiful golf course. It looked like a mountain lodge, really pretty.

 

My mom and sister (moh) did the centerpieces and decorated the cake table. It looked so cute. My Aunt got the cake it was so good, half vanilla half chocolate with strawberry cream filling. Yummo!

 

My fmil did the favors. She did a candy buffet. I was talking to her about wedding stuff and I kept mentioning how cute the candy buffets that some girls do are. So she made me my candy buffet. It was perfect. It was all of me and Derekâ€s favorite candies, we LOVE candy. Fbilâ€s mom made milk chocolate engagement rings and white chocolate bride and grooms. My fmil had little gift bags that she tied a pic of me and Derek to and made a little poem for it.

 

The only thing that went wrong….someone mentioned to me that I had a ton of gifts to open, which I did I got so much great stuff. Well then I started thinking “Oh crap I have to open up this stuff in front of everyoneâ€. I broke out into hives. I hate being the center of attention. I really wasnâ€t nervous about the shower but just that one second I thought about opening gifts and broke out. It really wasnâ€t a big deal, I had them on my fore-arms and no one saw them unless I showed them. I took some benadryl when I got home and they went away. I hope this doesnâ€t happen at the wedding.

 

I brought my camera so I have a couple of pics, not many. Iâ€ll try to get more pics from fsil and fmil. My mom took pics but she has no idea how to put them on the computer, Iâ€m still waiting for her to send me pics of my wedding dress. lol

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
