Jesse & Matt sitting in a tree....






K.I.S.S.I.N.G....First comes love, then comes marriage.....you know the rest! We had Jesseca and Matt's couples shower a couple of weekends ago and it was a huge success! I posted some pictures to show some really cute and inexpensive ways to decorate for a shower. We did kind of an Italian theme. We had all Italian foods like brushetta, artichoke dip, genoa salmai/munster cheese bread, Italian skewers, and a variety of olives and other little bites. Instead of a cake we had a dessert bar with brownies, cupcakes, cookies, and lemon bars. Yum Yum! For drinks we served Sangria, pea tea, some white wines, and a variety of beer. It really turned out great! The best advice I could give someone that is throwing a party for 60 plus people is to rent tables. I couldn't believe how affordable it was. Each bistro table was only $9 and totally worth the money. We just bought some cute red and white checkered plastic table clothes and tied them around with black and white toille and that's it! That's all you gotta do! It was very cute. We also bought some flowers at the local grocery store and filled empty wine bottles for our table centerpieces. We also filled a couple of small vases with fresh flowers and lemons in the base....Adorable! With the help of all the fabulous bridesmaids, we pulled off quite a party! Congratulations Jesseca and Matt!
