Ivy's Bridal Shower

My sister Ivy is getting married in December and as her Matron of honor, I was so excited to throw a bridal shower for her. This past Saturday, the 8th, we had 15 girls join us to celebrate Ivy's upcoming wedding. We ate good food, played a few bridal shower games and opened presents. I had never thrown any kind of shower before so I am positive it could have been better but I was pleased with how it turned out and I think all the ladies had a good time too! Ivy ended up getting to see many of her close friends and hauled in some amazing gifts. With only 3.5 hours of sleep, I seemed to have plenty of energy and had loads of fun. Congrats Ivy!!!
