A tradition started with one of the girls shower was to make the bride a beautiful toilet paper dress. Jana is displaying the wonderful work of art. She was so blown away, on our ride home together, she confided in me that she will return her other store bought dress in favor for the beautiful home made one...it was definitely made with love:)
Festivities included food (a given), although it has shifted from sugar sugar and more sugar to salad and tortilla chips with vegetable laden salsa:) Funny! Luann and Katie arranged and organized everything for the shower. We played a memory game. Luann and Katie bought 20 things for a "Honeymoon survival kit," and placed them on the floor. We had a couple minutes to look through it and memorize all the items and then from memory write them down. Suzie won!! Suzanne was only 12 days postpartum with baby #4, so it was fun seeing a new baby. Thank goodness the shower was in her town of Tucson or I don't think she would have made it. We also made Jana a paper chain to countdown until her wedding. Considering it does not take place until June...it was a very long paper chain!
We all brought photos from college and we reminisced about those. We caught up on each others lives and just enjoyed a truly wonderful afternoon. The shower was supposed to be 2-5, but we were dragging it out some because it was fun. Jana and I drove back to the valley afterwards. I am so happy for Jana and wish her luck. It was a great afternoon and I look forward to when we meet again.
