Jessi's Bridal Shower...

Okay, so the big day I've been preparing for months finally came, Jessi's bridal shower. As the Matron of Honor, I put it together. Jessi already had 2-3 showers before this one so I wanted to do things right.

Location: Cafe Luna on Chestnut in Champaign
Time: 11-2

We started out the day by guessing how many times she tried on "the dress" and frosting ourselves...




Then people could drop their recipes, well wishes, advice, memories into a giant cupcake cookie jar.


Then, it was on to brunch. People could choose from Cinnamon brioche french toast, omelettes, eggs benedict or vegetarian. It was all delicious! Oh, and the menus I made, the one with blue on the menu won a prize!

After we ordered, I explained that you couldn't say "Jeff" or "wedding". If you were caught, that person got to take your ring. The one with the most rings wins! Pictured is Autumn taking Jessi's ring- busted!



We then played a game getting to know Jessi and Jeff just a little bit better. (Pictured: Jessi reveals the answers)



After brunch we set up or Bingo cards and then we opened gifts in a cozy setting!

As Jessi opened her gifts, Heather documented what she said. After opening gifts, we revealed to everyone some of the things Jessi will be saying on her wedding night.
"How do you unwrap this thing?"
"Really?"
"That is exactly the same color as our wood."
"Jeff would really like this!"
"I don't like wet wood!"
"I can't take it out, it is really heavy!"
"Beautiful!"

We took the opportunity to get some photos!!








After the gifts were opened, the cupcakes were brought out and favors were given! I'd say it was a successful day!
