"Meant to Bee" Bridal Shower

This past weekend, my mom and I threw a bridal shower for a childhood friend of mine. We had so much fun planning her shower that I had to share with you all how it turned out. We decided to use the theme "Meant to Bee" and added touches here and there to help express our theme.

Centerpieces
I just loved the little heart confetti made out of pages from books. It definitely added a lovely touch to our centerpieces. 
Advice cards for each guest to fill out for the soon-to-be bride 
This table was our advice and well wishes table. We had a bowl for the guests to leave their advice cards in the for the bride and also a bowl for the guests to leave their favorite recipe for Lauren to start her own recipe book. We sent the recipe cards out in the invitations so that the guests had plenty of time to decide on a recipe and fill out their card.


Going along with our "Meant to Bee" theme, we chose customizable honey jars as our favors to send home with each guest.

One of our favorite things was our dessert table! I mean, who doesn't love desserts?


In the back you will see chocolate covered oreos that my mom made herself with rose petals on the top. I am so sad I didn't get an unclose picture of the oreos. They were ADORABLE! And equally as delicious!


We served cake, cake pops, chocolate covered pretzels, petit fours, macarons, and jelly beans on the dessert table. 








 The food table consisted of tea sandwiches, fruit, mint tea punch, and lemonade.

Even though mom and I had so much fun planning this shower for the past few months, we were equally as excited to see it all come together.

  1. Hope the bridal shower was liked by the bride to be. All my friends are planning a bridesmaid party for our friend at one of the remarkable Seattle Wedding venues next month. Hope she feels delighted by our surprise. Will book the venue in a couple of days.
