Being my first time being married, I wanted to plan a picture perfect wedding shower. I knew I needed help, so I asked my sister if she wanted to help me. She said yes and was as happy as I was. I know there is a lot that goes into planning a wedding shower and I was excited and ready to get started. I have planned showers before and I knew my shower would turn out awesome. Time was running out and I knew I better hurry up with all the details.
My sister and I searched for a hall to rent that was big enough to accommodate all of the guests. We came across one that was real close to where I live. We went on the computer to look for decorations and gifts. We found a lot of themed wedding shower ideas that were so adorable. I bought all my decorations and gifts for the shower. It was time to find the shower favors. There was a lot to look at. This took some time to decide when looking at all the wonderful shower favors. We saw a cotton handkerchief that was so elegant, that I decided this is what I want to give my guests for a wedding favor. I also thought that I could get one for me on my wedding day. I saw a lace handkerchief that was awesome. I knew right away that all my guests would love the mens handkerchiefs. My decision was to pick the lace handkerchief for my guests.
Everything was falling into place. We had the hall and ordered all the decorations, gifts and wedding favors. I needed to figure out what kind of food I was going to have at my shower. I was going to have it catered, but it was way too expensive for my budget. I went through my recipes and found some awesome dinners and side dishes that we could make. We placed the order for the cake at a bakery near us. All the planning was done. I found these awesome invitations and mailed them out to family and friends. All we had to do was wait until the day of the shower.
It was the day of the shower and I and my sister went to the hall early to set the tables and decorate. It did not take long to decorate the hall. When we were finished decorating, the hall looked so good. I even took pictures to remember how it looked. We decorated the tables with a centerpiece and put the cake on the food table. All the tables had a cotton handkerchief at each setting. If you were to walk in the room, you would think how gorgeous it looked.
I had such a good time with my family and friends after they arrived. We all enjoyed each other’s company. We had fun playing games and eating. My guests talked about how much they enjoyed getting a handkerchief. I received so many gifts from all my family and friends. I did not want my shower to end, because I had so much fun and so did my guests.
When all my guests were leaving, they all thanked me for such a good time and especially the handkerchief. It made me glad that I chose a handkerchief for my wedding favor. My shower was a success and will be in my memory always. I am glad that my sister was so helpful in planning the shower with me. She really touched my heart during this. That is the reason she is my maid of honor.
