Emily's friends planned her bridal shower for this morning.
Emily is hard to surprise, so she was informed about it ahead of time. But they kept the location a surprise until the latest possible moment. Emily and her mother went out to do some errands, and then they drove to the shower...at Emily's own house!
It was great planning on the gals' part, as all of the gifts ended up filling the hallway once Emily finished opening them. It was nice that she didn't have to pack all of that stuff up to take it somewhere else.
I also must comment on the genius who came up with the idea of the bridal registry. Duplicate gifts received by Emily = None. So, "thank you," bridal-registry-genius-of-many-years-ago, whoever you might be.
I volunteered to bring the party favors. This really means that I volunteered my sister Debbie to make the party favors. She got our other sister, Kim, to help her. Mom helped for a while, too. I watched for a bit.
The favors consisted of two truffles. One was covered in white chocolate (to represent the bride) with a dark filling. The "groom" was covered in dark chocolate, with a dark chocolate/raspberry filling. The truffles were placed side-by-side in these cute little baggies which were just the right size. The bags were then tied with two strands of ribbon. The ribbons were Emily's wedding colors. Before the ribbons were tied, a little silver double heart was attached, as well as a little card which said:
Emily and Matt
Happily Ever After
