Amy's Bridal Shower

Saturday was Amy's bridal shower. I think it turned out really well-maybe I'm not the one to say, but it looked like everybody really enjoyed themselves.

We planned to do it in Amy's backyard-I didn't figure people would come if I held it at my house, and Mom and Dad's backyard has been undergoing a lot of change. However the weather did not cooperate. We reserved the church Thursday, but then realized we could do it in her basement family room now that it's finished (upstairs front room isn't big enough). Then I realized Grandma Miles can't do that many stairs. After much dilemma (Amy was hoping to show off her house before it gets sold), Amy decided we should do it in her bedroom. Weird-sure, but after moving the bed downstairs it worked great.

I printed off clocks of all different times. Then they were taped to the chairs, and when it was your turn you had to say that many things about yourself. Ex. 3:00=3 things

Next we'd come up with a bunch of multiple choice questions to help people get to know Amy and Tyler better. I stapled the questions to a piece of candy. If they got the question right, they got to eat the candy. If they were wrong, well-they still got to eat the candy. It was really fun and brought out some of the more humorous aspects of Amy and Tyler's relationship that people may or may not have know. Ex. Tyler and Amy first kissed during which movie A) A Walk in the Clouds B) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles C) Marley and Me D) Bed of Roses

The girls and I had 7 am, and our gift was this cool towel cake. I couldn't wait to give it to her so I brought her in early to see it.

She seems to like it.

We were playing another game where people were supposed to guess what gifts might be given out at each time, and then I had prizes for whoever got the most correct within an hour. However being the brilliant person I am, I totally spaced it on finding out who had the most correct. Oh well, at least they all got to keep their notepad.

Mom got Amy Fiesta ware (sp.?) dishes. orange, red, yellow, and aqua complete with salt and pepper shakers and two extra serving bowls. Very cool!

Tyler's mom and sisters got Amy these three chairs to use at her island. They match the table and chair set she hopes to get someday.

We rounded the day off at midnight with a few little naughty and nice things from Angela that made Amy change colors.

We finished the shower with fondue, and then everybody got their own swiss roll to take home with them.

Oh, and the answer is B) Teenage Mutan Ninja Turtles.

Go figure!
