I don't know if you knew this or not, but last Saturday was Bridal Shower Extravaganza day!
Yep. 2 of my best friends had their bridal showers that day and yes I kinda was involved with throwing both of them... Which is great! I was sooo happy to help!
We started with Alyssa's in Logan at noon and I have no idea why I didn't take a picture of this one. Hopefully I can get a copy of the pic we took because it was a cute one of all the girls (and Lyssa's new present). We had a lot of fun!! These girls are high quality company and we have a good time together! I love it!
Then, I drove back home and scrambled to get everything ready for Melissa's Bridal Shower at 4:30pm. This was a little crazy, but luckily, I am beginning to think like a caterer and had everything pretty much ready beforehand. Bless my sous chefs that helped me that day. Here's the spread:
Veggies w/ my favorite Spinach Dip
Crunchy yummy roasted garlic bread and whole grain bread
My version of Greek Salad
Chinese Chicken Salad
Chicken Caesar Salad
=Success!
You know I've actually helped a few people "cater" some little parties, and I absolutely love it! So, if any of my family/friends are reading this- please let me do what I enjoy and call me to come help you!
I don't know if you noticed the sneaky little dessert in the back of that picture, but let me tell you these were a HIT! Who knew sugar cookies could be so funny/embarrassing/awesome!
Here they are before..... "naked" cookies. Pun intended.
And here they are all Bridal Shower ready! Hahaha these were definitely appropriate for the occasion. Hilarious and I've been looking forward to making these for weeks now!
The best (worst?) part about it was that a lot of Melissa's mission friends were in attendance at this party, and were completely mortified and wide-eyed at these cookies. Haha, and I (and Blakely) enjoyed every second of it! It was hilarious....
Anyway, both Bridal Showers were a success and I am so excited for two of my best friends!! Being married is the best!!
Bridesmaid twice in 2 weeks... more pictures to follow.
In the meantime, make this little morsel.
TONIGHT.

=Yummmmm!
um that is AWESOME. love the cookies. love you.
ReplyDeletethose cookies are so fabulous! i'm totally stealing that idea for the next shower i help with!!! i miss you at work but i'm glad things are working out great for you!
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA, those cookies are so much better for a bridal shower than boring ole "better than sex cake!" Way to go.
ReplyDeleteoh, and when Jeff and I were first married, we were lucky enough to be on the same TEAM (xc/track) so road trips were great--we didn't have to be away from each other at all until we'd been married for nearly a year! I hate it when we're apart. I hope you can find a hobby to fill the void. Kids fill the void pretty well... ;) well, they do!
That is such a good idea! I kind of love it!!! The cookies that is!
ReplyDeleteBLATCE-I am trying this! I assume this was on sourdough....:)
