Gift Registry

I picked up ten items off her gift registry for the "Get to Know the Couple" Game. I got free shipping and an additional 15% off! Yay!

Pics, Pics, and More Pics!

Okay ladies, please don't think I have forgotten about this bridal shower. It seems lately that I have been going, going, going and my body hasn't really wanted to do anything. I'm finally really starting to feel normal again.

First off, thanks to Robin's generous grandma for giving us an in on the Quail Lake Club house. I know I showed some of you the pics at the dress fitting but here they are again.

This is the main room where we will have the actual shower.

There are small rooms off of the main room.

A kitchen!

Chairs! I'm pretty sure I counted 52 chairs in the picture.

Tables! I also have a table that I will bring. :)

Another room off the main room. Possibly use these tables also?

Robin also drew a map. Thank you Robin for the map and the pics.

Now on to Table decor.

I like the look of the flowers in the pots. I did pick up 5 pots at the Goodwill the other day. They are various shades of pink. I will probably spray paint them.

Does anyone have any platters like this? I think Robin and Angelic mentioned they might. I think the sandwiches would be nice to stack on these style plates.
Along with the flowers on the tables I would like to do some of these candles. Not sure what the policy is on burning candles inside. But I can always grab some of the flameless type. Simple paper or fabric wrapped around glass votive holders. I plan to bring my drinking glasses. I have 12 short and 12 tall glasses-wrapped in fabric or paper you'll never know that they are glasses.
I love the presentation of this table. Rosie requested Mimosa's. Check out the table in the rear with the drinks all laid out. Maybe we can pull this off with the mimosa's? My husband is CHP so I don't want to send anyone home drunk but a small glass at the beginning of the party shouldn't be a big deal right? I also like the silverware wrapped in the napkins.
Not sure about favors. Here is where I'm at a loss. I did see these little guys. Personally, I like favors I can eat. Let me know your thoughts.
For table linens.....I saw this place mat. Not imagine it in table cloth form instead. On Friday, I'm heading to a fabric store that sells fabric for a dollar a yard! Hoping to score a white fabric that I can then decorate with flowers.
And I love these poms. I don't think we can hang them but maybe some medium/mini ones around the gift table or scattered around the room. If I'm really ambitous I plan to make the small ones for the napkins.
So for colors I would like to go with something springy: pink, orange, yellow, green. Sorry about throwing you off colorwise with the invitation. I think it was raining and grey out when I made them. I was just drawn to those colors for some reason.

For games....I would like to play a game where we get to know a bit about how Rosie and Matt got together and such. How it works: I get a set number of questions to attached to wrapped presents from her Registry. The guests actually ask Rosie the question. If she answers correctly she gets the present. If not the guest can keep the present. Usually the guests give the present to the bride but there have been a few that have held on to them. Hahaha.

Aside from that one not sure. I know she said not a lot of games. The one above can take up a good chunk of time.

I would also like to have pictures of Rosie and Matt scattered throughout the room. I will steal them from her facebook page and get them printed. If everyone could help by brining picture frames to put them in I would love you forever. I don't want to buy a ton of frames.

In the bathroom I would like to have fresh flowers, maybe a candle burning, and a pic of Rosie and Matt.

For silverware and such, I think clear plastic plates and silverware will be fine.

Now for the actual tea party part: How to serve hot tea? To be honest I don't drink tea or alcohol so I'll need help in this area. I think Robin said she had a big drink dispenser which would be great for serving water flavored with cucumbers, lime and mint. But I'm still stuck on the hot tea and possibly coffee? I have 8 teacups and saucers but I'm also willing to rent them. I did find clear cups and saucers for 40 cents a cup/rental.

This is what I have so far. Let me know what I'm forgetting or if what you might have at home that you can help with. I will also need help that morning with making Tea sandwiches and set up. I'll get a menu together next week. I'm hosting a birthday party for a friend tomorrow so I'm in full party mode right now. Thanks a bunch!
