Caitlin's bridal shower was given by Caitlin's Aunt Judy from Florida, and her bride's maids, Jaime, Jenny and Robyn. whom I was delighted to meet. Dorri (dear friend of Caitlin's family) hosted and her home was the perfect setting for the afternoon party. Her Victorian home is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The food was delicious. My favorites were the Wheatberry Salad and the Mexican Salad.
For the first game Caitlin was asked several questions about Peter and everytime she gave a wrong answer she had to chew a stick of gum. By the end she was chewing 4 1/2 sticks.
Some of the questions were:
1. What color was Peter's first bike? A blue Schwinn.
2. Peter's Grandmother Marple named a peak after Peter. Where is it located? Las Vegas, Nevada.
3. Peter dressed up as which Teletubbie for a little kids birthday party? Tinky Winky.
4. In middle school Peter had the lead role in the play Dogg's Hamlet and Cohoot's Macbeth. What part did he play? The inspector.
5. Who gave Peter's his first haircut? Grandpa Marple
We then played a fun game where we had to identify common household ingredients from the kitchen sealed in see thru baggies, i.e. flour, baking soda, pancake flour, garlic salt, salt, gelatin, cornstarch etc. Susan Barnhurst won with 9 out of 12 right.
We then played bingo as Caitlin opened her presents. In the squares we wrote in the gifts from the registry that we thought she would recieve. That was fun to play as she opened her many wonderful gifts.
For dessert they served yummy cookies and brownies made by Kathy, Caitlin's mother. Caitlin and her mother have a cookie exchange every Christmas, so it was nice to taste some of their favorites.
The guys Peter, Kevin, Jim (Caitlin's dad) and Ray (Dorri's husband) had there own little private party at the local pub and then crashed the shower at the end. Peter recieved two special presents from Jim and Ray which he was pretty psyched up about. He got some tools that he'll need this month when he renovates their new home in Norwood.
It was a lovely afternoon. I was so happy and grateful I could be there. Now the countdown for the wedding has started.

Hey, very nice site. I came across this on Google, and I am stoked that I did. I will definitely be coming back here more often. Wish I could add to the conversation and bring a bit more to the table, but am just taking in as much info as I can at the moment. Thanks for sharing.
