Surprise...

Last Friday, we were able to throw a western bridal shower for a friend flying home to get married next week! Luckily, we were able to pull it off-it was meant to be a tea party, but it wouldn't have felt right if everything went as planned...our electricity went out just as we were going to boil the water. So, the majority of the party was done by candlelight, but it was still fun to celebrate with her.
"the surprise"
For all of our national guests, it was their first "shower." We had fun sharing about different wedding traditions, which were explained through a couple games:

Her fiance had answered a series of questions about his future-bride. She heard the questions, and then had to guess what his response would be: as this picture demonstrates, certain questions (even despite our attempt to censor the questions/responses, so as to be audience-appropriate) still managed to fully embarrass the guest-of-honor. Such a good sport!
A simple game of "wedding word charades" proved to be very educational...can anyone guess what she's acting out here??
