Sister’s Bridal Shower

Last Saturday was my sister’s bridal shower.  I am the maid of honor and so it was my responsibility to put it on (thankfully my mom helped with the food!  She was in charge of food and I was in charge of decorations).

 

This is my sister Kendra and me.  We look absolutely nothing alike but we are triplets (yes, seriously!).  A lot of times people don’t actually believe me because we really look nothing alike but it is true.

We came from this beautiful lady…

I kind of look like the oddball here but my mom swears they never let me out of their sight (being the first triplets at the hospital will do that).

Here is the table.  My mom is a fabulous cook and made most everything.  We had three types of spinach dip, cranberry bread, cake, fruit, veggies, quiche and more.  We got the cake at Publix (they have excellent cakes!).

I wanted to display pictures of Kendra and her fiance David and stole them off her facebook.  They have gone on lots of trips together (two cruises!)

You cannot forget the door.  Bonus here is they just bought their first house so they can put this on their new door.  Green & navy are her wedding colors.

I love candy and included a nice large jar (Hobby Lobby 1/2 off!) and used my Silhouette to make their initials on the front and the heart on the back.  My only problem is the jelly bellys don’t match the wedding colors but I couldn’t be too choosy with them as I had to get what the store had!

She opened presents in the family room and so I had to have some decorations in here.  I had some tissue paper flowers above her chair and then I made this banner for the mantle with glitter paper.

And last but not least another family picture.  This is my Mimi (mom’s mom), Mom, Kendra and me.  The day was great.  Now still lots of planning for the wedding.  Thankfully that is not until October!!
