Last Sunday was my future DIL's wedding shower hosted by her Mom and Sister. The whole shower had a travel theme that was kicked off by adorable invites that looked like luggage tags.
Just a note about the R. C. P. ....Or Really, Crummy, Pictures, a girl can't drag her tripod and SLR camera everywhere, sometimes she takes her shiny red pocket Kodak and horror's she use's flash...Sorry
Shower programs and gifts for the guests
The bride to be's Dad is a chef and he prepared fabulous food from around the world.....YUMMMM! (Trust me the empty pans got filled with food)
Beverages...Oh Ya, that's Sangria!
Here's the Bride, My Mom, and I (Yuk, a couple times a year a blogger has to show her picture...It's a blogger law! Thankfully the law does not say how large the picture has to be). In case it escaped you, "The Polka Dot Closet" is wearing a polka dot dress...Groan!
The Future bride and Her Mother, the hostess of this fabulous shower
There was a huge surprise for everyone! My son is in DC and the shower was in Florida......Enter Technology!!!
My Son surprised his bride to be by Skyping in from DC...
My Son surprised his bride to be by Skyping in from DC...
...To play an engagement version of the newlywed game.
Here's how it worked, the bride's Mom and Sister sent my son questions about his his future bride, he wrote the answers down ahead of time and she had to guess what he would say.
This question was "What food does your future bride like that you can't stand"?. She answered the question and then he held his answer up to the computer screen......He got it right!
This was so fun and it gave the shower guests he had not met a chance to get to know him
After she opened presents
We had coffee
And delicious Desserts.....
....And said our goodbyes, followed by "See you at the wedding"
Then Mom and I hit the road for the 2 hour trip from Clearwater back to Orlando. It was the perfect shower and the perfect weekend!
Happy Creating
Carol
So Happy for you. And them.

It looks looks like it was lots of fun too. I love the 'Newly Wed' game by Skype too. How innovative.
Your soon to be DIL appears to share your interest in crafting from the looks of one of her gifts.
That should make for some fun times together! What one doesn't come up with, the other will.
