Sister's Seattle Bridal Shower

Last Saturday, May 15, the four of us bridesmaids along with Molly's two honorary bridesmaids hosted a bridal shower for Molly in Seattle.

Here is the little table that greeted the guests as they came into the home...a basket of blank envelopes for people to write their address on to speed up the thank-you note process for Molly.

Followed by a place to put the bridal shower gifts...

...and a table showing off the kilt, coat of arms, clan badge, engagement announcement, and scrapbook supplies for writing marriage advice notes on for Scott and Molly. I made sure to take pictures of every guest so that we can put a little photo of the person along with their advice together in the memory scrapbook.

It was a mid-afternoon bridal shower so we decided to have a chocolate fountain for dipping fresh fruit, angel food cake, marshmallows, and the like. It smelled DIVINE! Chocolate and white cupcakes were also served topped with a big fresh raspberry on top. M-m-m!

A view of the food table from up above (upstairs)...

Cinnamon bears, chocolate covered pretzels, red hots, and red and black licorice on the living room coffee table continued to carry out our red, white, and black color scheme/theme.

Crackers, cheese, chips, veggies and dip with the red gerber daisies adorned the kitchen workstation.

And the sangria, water, and non-alcoholic cran/raspberry punch adorned the other kitchen workstation.

Here is a sweet picture of fiance Scott's Mom with Molly...

And a picture of Molly with fiance Scott's sister (soon to be sister-in-law) Kristy.

Pictured below is Ceceilia, Scott's Dad's wife, and Molly.
Here is Molly with our Mom, Amy, and our good family friend, Karen!
Molly's former housemate, Stacia, came with her darling 3 month old daughter, Poppy.

Following are several snapshots taken while guests filled out a "How well do you know Molly" worksheet for the bridal shower game.
The bridal shower was so much fun (and beautiful)!


Following the bridal shower a small group of us went out to dinner together. To make Molly "stand out" from the rest of us, we gave her this white "bride" t-shirt and cute little veil to wear. Isn't she beautiful??? How gorgeous is she gonna look in her bridal gown when she looks this good in a t-shirt and jeans!!
Looking forward to your wedding day on July 10th, sis! Love you!
