Sunday May 19 2013 (bridal shower)

Surprise Bridal Shower

So today was my cousin's surprise bridal shower. We (the bridesmaids) thought it would be fun to surprise her with a shower representing some of her favorite things. We had lemonade and iced tea for Arnold Palmers, Bacon Roses, Nutella stuffed Strawberries dipped in chocolate, Cheese, Salami, Crackers and an Ice-cream/Frozen yogurt bar. We also had a scrap booking station to make a page for a recipe book with a recipe from anyone who attended.
Here is the cover of the scrapbook. I sewed a home decor weight cotton cover for it to make it a little bit more unique
These are the Nutella stuffed strawberries that we dipped in chocolate. They were REALLY yummy.
For our Party favors we decided to do tea because that is another one of her favorite things. Her favorite tea is currently Blackberry Sage by the Republic of tea. I packaged them by first creating small envelopes for them.
They are roughly 3"x3.5" when they are sealed. I went with shades of blue because that is her favorite color and I couldn't resist the adorable wedding print.

This is what the tea bags looked like. I personalized them with little tags for when they are being dipped in the teacups.


Then I sealed the envelopes using these little label stickers. Hopefully everyone gets to enjoy a cup!
This is one of the decorations we also put up for the party as a little bit of a count down.
We also had her fiancĂ© come and pick her up to take her away after giving her mother and his mother each a flower and giving her a bouquet. We (the bridesmaids) thought it went over pretty well and hopefully she enjoyed it all!
