Activities:
“Fun activities for the shower included “Spice of Life” game in which the ladies were put into teams and had to determine the names of all of the spices – sort of a spin to “smell the baby food” like you would play at baby showers.
For individual games, we played “Famous TV Couples” which of course included Chuck & Blaire from Gossip Girl, as well as “How Well Do You Know the Bride” questionnaire.”

Hi, Jenn would you happen to know what size risers were used for this event?
Thanks,

That food spread looks awesome! Where did you get those glass beverage jars? So pretty!
Anyone know where to get the questions for “How well do you know the bride?”??
Does anyone know where to purchase the AMAZING modern candlestick holders?
I love the questionnaire! Was it custom-made or or is there a vendor/website where I can order it?
Thanks so much!
Feminine, stylish, sophisticated….what more could you ask? I’d love to know the sizes on the clear risers & the questionnaire, was it custom? Thanks!
Are these recipes available on a web site? Particularly the Turkey Salad on Baby Brioche with Bacon and Roasted Roma Tomatoes, Roast Beef, Blue Cheese and Pear Tea Sandwiches, Egg Salad with Dill and Cucumber, Coconut Cream Pies, and Espresso Macarons. Thanks!
I love these apothecary beverage dispensers. I bought two at http://www.classichostess.com . Got them really fast and I love them.
How was the dark purple vase achieved? Did they tie ribbon all around a clear glass vase? Or was it bought ready made? Or some entirely different technique? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, ladies!
