Build a Veil {Bridal Shower Fun}

Last weekend was one of my very best girlfriends bridal shower! Jessica's two sisters and step-mom planned the CUTEST shower! 

I wanted to contribute in some way and with Jessica being the crafty girl she is, I had this idea to have everyone 'Build a Veil'!! It was super fun, and everyone did something unique and different! Bridal shower games can get so redundant, so I really love this option!!! Not only does it keep guest entertained, but it creates some good laughs too! 

Thanks to Wendy Swanson Photography for the great shots!

You can really buy whatever supplies you would like! I went to the dollar store and picked up some clips and headbands...and then basically brought some tulle, fake flowers, lace, and pearls. (I also added feathers, but that was a super random hit, everyone wanted the feathers, who knew!?!)

I am actually wearing the veil my mom made... go big or go home;)!

LOVE this couple, and am SOOOOO excited for their September wedding!!!! 

Baby Shower: DIY Alphabet Decorating Station

My friend who I have featured many times before sent me the most adorable idea that she used at her cousins baby shower this weekend!!! Everyone by now knows shower games can be SO BORING...yes I said it, phewww that felt good;)! Why not come up with something that is fun, creative, and can be useful in the nursery...

DIY Alphabet Decorating Station 

By: Ali

My cousin is having a baby girl in 4 short weeks. I wanted to do something special that the guests and 'mom to be' would both enjoy. The letters were a lot of fun to paint and will look great in the nursery too!  We even made the boys come in from their "sausage and beer party" to paint letters too :)

Supplies:
Paint (any colors to match the decor)
Paint brushes and sponges
Wooden letters (I ordered mine from Etsy)
Containers for water, paint, and other supplies
Paint pens to write messages and sign the backs of the letters with

No directions needed.  Just let your guests creative juices flow!

Thanks so much for sharing!!! LOVE this idea, and I'm totally stealing it;)!!! XOX
