My sister is getting married in August, so a wedding shower was in order!
I love hosting so I was more than happy to throw a little luncheon for the ladies in honor of the upcoming nuptials.
In my opinion, the invitations set the tone for the whole event.
I chose Minted once again for my invitations as I always find what I am looking for and they have been consistently good to work with for years now.
Whether it is Christmas cards, artwork, or party favors, you can find it all at Minted.
Summer has finally hit the Seattle area so we were able to sit outdoors and soak it all in!
I didn’t do a ton of decorations but I did do a ton of balloons!
Balloon garlands are a great way to get the biggest bang for your buck.
They take a while to inflate but if you have a balloon inflator you will save not only time but energy.
I think I blew up over 500 balloons.
I got a combination of colors that went with her colors she’s having in the wedding and the colors in the invitations that I sent out for the shower.
More on that, so keep reading.
Plus I have a promo code for you all!
Everyone got to take home a couple succulents in cute little vintage terra cotta pots.
I got stickers with the bride and grooms name on them for the front of them.
I put them all in a tiered tray with a little sign to let everyone know to take them home.

Isn’t my sister the cutest?
I purchased food warmers for my husbands birthday and we have been using them over and over and getting our moneys worth.
I served garlic shrimp, tortellini, Alfredo sauce, and a spinach salad.
I also made a large charcuterie board for people to graze on.
For dessert I served cheesecake, donuts, and these custom cookies by Becky Bakes.
It was super fun and everyone had a great time!
