Keren’s Bridal Shower

Warning: This post will contain a lot of pictures.

The theme of this bridal shower was bright and happy.

I found these invitations at Michaels a few months ago. They were five for $1, which was crazy because the cutout on them was so pretty!

This was the welcoming table where the guests filled out their name and address on an envelope for a prize drawing (but it was also to help Keren make thank you cards easier to finish).

I also had them write either their birthday or anniversary on a card with their name. The date closest to Keren and Ben’s wedding date was the winner.

I made simple cupcakes. I seperated white batter into different bowls and added food coloring to make each a different color. Then I just globbed each color in one at a time to create the look.

This is where the origami butterflies ended up! I used three metal round wreath making things to hang them on. Then I added a garland of greenery from the Dollar Store to the top to cover it up. I love how they turned out!

We strung a ton of paper lanterns on the ceiling. I bought them from Michael’s ($1 each) and some from the Dollar Store.

I used vases that my mom had kept from my wedding. I added Easter basket grass (which was on sale for only $.35 a bag at Walmart) to the vase then arranged five Gerber daises in it (some from Dollar Store, some from Michael’s). Then I tied a bunch of curling ribbon around the top of the vase. Last, I scattered more of the Easter grass around it on the table.

My grandmother helped me by saving tons and tons of toilet paper rolls for these favors. I glued a piece tissue paper on them (I made them with different colors to go with the theme), then added a piece of wrapping paper to the middle part. I used curling ribbon to tie on end, added candy, then tied more curling ribbon on the other side. Finally, we glued a flower onto each one. Thanks to Isa, Sarah, and my mom for helping put these together!
