Rachel's Bridal Shower

We had a super fun bridal shower honoring Scott's sister, Rachel! It started with a Pampered Chef presentation and the food was yummy! In addition to what was prepared during the presentation, we enjoyed a Mexican cheese dip and chocolate fondue, along with all of the things you can dip into each one!

Jamie started things off with a fun candy bar game! We had to guess what each candy bar had to do with something relating to a wedding.



We got to meet Wade's sister, mom, and niece. They had flown in from California a short time before the shower started. They are very warm, likable people and I took an instant liking to them all!
Next, we broke into 3 teams and turned one lucky girl from each team into a bride wearing a gown made from toilet paper!
I think Rachel should return her wedding gown and wear this one instead!
This team won! Her gown had toilet paper roses tucked in throughout the front!
This is our team. We chose to deck Brinley out in a one of a kind couture mermaid gown with a long train and flowing veil.
Here are the contestants! None of us can still figure out what Rachel's group did to her!


For our last game, Jamie blindfolded Rachel and told her that she had to imagine that it was her wedding night, she was in her hotel getting ready for her evening and the power just went out! She had to get ready in the dark!

She was such a great sport!
Time for gifts! This is a treasure chest filled with votive candles.

Rachel's holding a picture that Nathan drew for her of the two of them in a snowstorm. As I was wrapping my gift for her he became sad because he didn't have a gift for her, so he drew her a picture. Such a sweet kid!

This 2 part gift was from me. Rachel had to read, "If you are wearing this while cooking dinner for Wade..." and had to hold up some lingerie....(you can see a bit of it on the left)
Then she read, "...you'll want to be sure to use these". (splatter screens)
I'm sure this is one of her favorite gifts! Rachel LOVES corner brownies and she got a pan that bakes individual ones!
Rachel and her longtime friend, Janna - she hosted the shower!
