"We oohed and aahed over the Barbie cake (compliments of Little Miss Fortune) and Blair Waldorf-worthy headbands at Petra&amp;amp;#8217;s shower, and we admired Joanna&amp;amp;#8217;s old-fashioned tea (complete with cucumber sandwiches). But, today, let&amp;amp;#8217;s talk about a bridal shower you&amp;amp;#8217;ll never forget&amp;amp;#8212;yours! Have you already had a bridal shower? Or, is it something you&amp;amp;#8217;re looking forward to in the future? If, like me, you haven&amp;amp;#8217;t had one yet, here&amp;amp;#8217;s some inspiration to get your shower juices flowing. Last weekend, my friends and I threw a pre-wedding soiree for my good friend Meredith&amp;amp;#8212;she&amp;amp;#8217;s getting married in November! It was so lovely and delicious. Take a peek... The bride-to-be in her bridal shower throne. Doesn&amp;#x27;t she look beautiful? Meredith is marrying an English chap, so I thought these raspberry scones were appropriate. I used my grandma&amp;#x27;s recipe, which includes a lot of butter (yum)! Bacon-wrapped dates&amp;amp;#8212;delish! So now that you&amp;#x27;ve checked out Meredith&amp;#x27;s pre-wedding festivities, let&amp;#x27;s talk about what you&amp;#x27;d like your bridal shower to be like. Do you want to have a theme? Where would you like it to be? What kind of food do you imagine? What would the decor be like? Who would be there? Would you play games? And if you&amp;#x27;ve already had a bridal shower, I&amp;#x27;d love to hear all about it! P.S. Here are a few drink recipes that may be perfect for your event: The hot cocktail will help cool your guests down in the warm summer months. A decadent chocolatey cocktail&amp;amp;#8212;perfect for a bride with a sweet tooth. Tickle your guests&amp;#x27; taste buds with Ginger Lemon Iced Tea, Nectarine Basil Lemonade or a Shaken Mojito. Looking for a fun drinking game? Pair this one with a Between the Sheets Cocktail or a Blue Bombsicle. Interest your guests in a trendy cocktail&amp;amp;#8212;with names like The Citritini and The Aloha how could they say no?
