Being my first time being married, I wanted to plan a picture perfect wedding shower. I needed help, so I asked my sister if she would like to help me plan it. She said yes and was as happy as I was. Planning a wedding shower is time consuming, but I couldn’t wait to start planning it. I have planned showers before and I knew my shower would turn out awesome. There was not a whole lot of time for me to plan my shower and I thought I better get started soon.
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 then went searching on the internet for all the decorations and gifts. We saw so many themed wedding shower ideas that were cute. I bought all my decorations and gifts for the shower. I needed to find the shower favors. There were so many to choose from. I took a lot of time looking because of all the awesome shower favors. When I came across a cotton handkerchief, I knew that is what I wanted my guests to get as a gift. I thought I could purchase one for me and have it on me the day I get married. I seen a dress handkerchief that was so beautiful. I knew right away that all my guests would love the men’s handkerchiefs. My decision was to pick the lace handkerchief for my guests.
Everything was turning out. The hall was reserved and we bought the decorations, gifts, and wedding favors. I now had to plan what I was going to have as food for my shower. I thought about catering it in, but that was expensive. While looking through my recipes, I came across some of the best dishes, that I know me and my sister could prepare. We ordered the cake at the bakery down the street. Everything was ready. I found these awesome invitations and mailed them out to family and friends. All we needed to now is wait patiently for 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 took us about an hour to decorate the hall. As soon as we finished, we were amazed how great the room looked. I made sure that I took a picture to remember how great it looked. The cake was on the table with the food and each table had a center piece. We put 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. My guests enjoyed each other’s company. We had fun playing games and eating. I heard throughout the shower that my guests liked receiving the handkerchief as a gift. I couldn’t believe how many gifts I got from all my guests. The shower was coming to a end and I wanted it not to end, because we were all having a good time.
When it was time for my guests to leave, they commented how much of a good time they had and were happy to get the handkerchief. I am so glad I went with the handkerchief for the wedding favor. This day turned out so good and will be remembered for a life time. I am glad that my sister was so helpful in planning the shower with me. It meant so much to me that she was a part of this. That is the reason she is my maid of honor.
