Wedding Shower- from the guest view point

Believe it or not- the first wedding shower I ever attended was my own. I kind of knew what to expect and what to do, but I just did what I was told because I really didn't know any better.

However, this weekend I attended my first wedding shower as a guest. It was for our friends Mike and Ashley, who will be getting married in August.

(Sam & Ashley - at our shower- I love the look she's giving him)

(Mike crashed our shower and he brought a fire truck with him!)

Their shower was lovely. Three of my bridesmaids were at the shower. I love that I have a large close group of friends and the majority of us have been friends since high school.

They had a brunch which was awesome because I love breakfast food! They even had an omelet station- it was so good. After the food came the gifts.

I went in on our gifts with my mother-in-law, so we got them a bunch baking stuff. However, the highlight of the gift opening (or at least for me) was watching Mike open the gift my husband wrapped.

If you look at the picture closely- the husband wrapped their gift in a brown paper bag covered in duct tape. It was the classiest looking gift on the table (yeah right). My mother-in-law had me carry it in because of how tacky it looked.

Mike was guessing that is was a case of beer (not a bad idea but it came after the fact- oh well) but it was just a cookie jar with a moose on it. Mike really likes moose, so we (really mean "I") couldn't pass on buying the cookie jar. I really hope they like it because I bought it over a year ago, so they can't return it even if they wanted to.

Congrats Mike & Ashley! One wedding event down- two to go!
