Heather is a busy, traveling career woman, project manager and consultant. Finding a time to throw her a shower in the months before her Las Vegas wedding proved to be impossible. So, we decided to throw her a shower after the wedding. I know, a little unconventional, but it was still in advance of their honeymoon, and she didn't have a bachelorette party. The honeymoon won't take place for a few more months, so the guest were happy to have a post-bachelorette party for the bride. The ladies pool party was a pinup theme, with favor bags that included large flower hair clips and a shatterproof monogram wine glass (we wanted to keep glass away from the pool). The light menu included cool soups, salads and a light desert. Here are the highlight's from Mrs. Smith's pinup party.
Favors:
 |
| We took these vintage pinup images right off of a Google image search and used them to spruce up these otherwise regular brown gift bags. |
 |
| Each guest also got a hair flower that the hostesses made to get folks into the pinup theme. |
 |
| Because it was poolside, we gave each guest their favor bag when they walked in so they could use their customized acrylic glasses and take them home. Myself and another hostess made these using vinyl and my Silhouette Cameo machine. We bought the glasses at Crate and Barrel for about $2.50 each. So we made lovely favors for about $4/ea |
Menu:
Mini Fruit Pizzas (We added a touch of vanilla to the filling, which was an improvement. They were great!)
We decided to go with a light menu of salads and cold soups, since it's still can be pretty warm this time of year in Houston.
