Kissing Fish Bridal Shower: More Party Games

January 25, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Kissing Fish Bridal Shower, Party Games

While the bride-to-be was busy opening gifts, guests played gift Bingo. Print off our free Bingo sheet here and have guests fill in what gifts they think the bride will be opening (like a toaster). As the bride-to-be opens gifts, guests try to make a Bingo! Happy Planning,

Kissing Fish Bridal Shower: Party Games

January 24, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Kissing Fish Bridal Shower, Party Games

One of my favorite shower games is a ‘purse scavenger hunt.’ We divided the shower guests into groups (by table) and told everyone to take out their purse or handbag. Give the host a list of random items you might find in a purse or handbag. As items are called, the first table to bring […]

Kissing Fish Bridal Shower: Album

January 23, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Kissing Fish Bridal Shower

When guests first arrived at the shower, they were asked to write a note of encouragement to the bride-to-be on lined paper. The notes, along with pictures from the shower, were later put into a small scrap book and given to the bride at the wedding. It is a fun memento that she will have and can […]

Kissing Fish Bridal Shower: Favors

January 20, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Kissing Fish Bridal Shower, Party Favors

The bride asked a few family members to bake homemade cookies to give away as favors at this shower. I simply added favor tags to brown boxes and guests got to choose which cookies and treats they would like to take home. It was a huge hit! The favor tags for these boxes are now available in […]

Kissing Fish Bridal Shower: Couples Collage

January 19, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Kissing Fish Bridal Shower

I wanted to do something special for over the dessert table. After a little research, I found this posterized collage technique on Happy Together. I used a picture from the couple’s engagement session and used an art canvas instead of a wood plaque. It turned out great and was a wonderful addition to the wall.

Kissing Fish Bridal Shower Centerpieces

January 18, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Kissing Fish Bridal Shower, Party Decorations

Inspired by these great centerpieces on One Charming Party, we made ‘fish bowls’ for each table using blue paper and tiny fish cut-outs in glass vases. Tissue paper flowers were put inside, and the pictures from the couples engagement session were displayed on tables around the room.

Kissing Fish Bridal Shower Decorations

January 17, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Kissing Fish Bridal Shower, Party Decorations

This party was a lot of fun to decorate for. The groom’s favorite color is orange (go Texas!) and so we used orange and blue as the main colors. The shower was at a beautiful restaurant, so the only thing we did was the dessert table and the guest’s tables. We collected glass vases and jars […]

Kissing Fish Bridal Shower: Invitations

January 16, 2012 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Kissing Fish Bridal Shower

Invitations for this party were kept fun and simple, using the orange and blue color scheme, and the ‘kissing fish’ logo that was used throughout the party. This Kissing Fish Shower Invitation is now available in our etsy shop, along with the other Kissing Fish printables! Happy Planning,

She insisted on dressing up like Reba McEntire, and thanks to her new love of country music I now know all the words to ‘Consider Me Gone’. Happy Halloween from the Queen of Country Music and her dinosaur sidekick. 🎃🎤🦖

…but on pretzel day? Well, I like pretzel day 🥨
Our first neighborhood New Year’s Day parade was a success! 🥳 Thank you for the great idea #bobgoff
