Bridal Recipe Shower

Let me first start the explination of this post by showing you this invitation I made.  My brother is getting married in Feb and I wanted to throw a Kitchen/Recipe shower for his bride.  I created the whole invitation using my Cricut and regular home printer.  I found the wording simply by a google search and I thought it was just genious.

"Let's Shower our Bride,

A perfect Kitchen We Hope to Provide.

Add your Favorite Recipe for her File,

We'll Outfit Their Kitchen in Fabulous Style."

I wish I could take credit for the cake because it turned out so awesome! I took the invitation to my favorite bakery and asked them to try to match it...I think they did a GREAT job!

We had a table full of snackies...my favorite kind of food!

The meat,cheese and veggie kabobs turned out looking very nice!

The best part is yet to come!  I found a couple good blogs that had some nice ideas for decoration and then like always, I added my own touch to everything.  I bought several things off of the brides registry including untensils and dishcloths to put everything together.  Here are a few pictures:

Paper towel holder wrapped w/ dishclothes.  Very Simple!
Also a little hard to see but I stuffed an oven mit with utensils.

I used their engagement pictures and strung them along the mantle with mini clothes pins.

Lastly, I also saw this idea on a blog.  I bought a water/tea pitcher that was off the registry and placed a regular drinking glass inside.  If you look closely, you can see it in the top picture.  Then I cut up about 6-8 lemons and started placing them in between the pitcher and glass.  It was very simple and turned out beautifully!

Once the flowers are in, you can't see the glass inside.
