Couple's Shower for the coolest couple ever!

You may have noticed that I didn't post much last week... It's because I've been a little busy with wedding stuff. My brother, Alex, is marrying Jenni in 12 days and we're all excited! (To read more about them, read my post about the night they got engaged.) This past week I was getting ready to help host a couple's shower for these two amazing peeps.

Can I just interrupt myself and say - How did I ever plan anything before Pinterest existed? Seriously... I wish that had been around when I got married!

Ok, anyways... I thought I'd share some of the decor we used. I did a lot of DIY on a budget... basically par for the course around here. And I think it turned out pretty cute! Jenni's wedding colors are light grey, blush and cream (so pretty!).

I made streamers by cutting 12"x6" pieces of paper into a zig zag pattern and hanging them from the ceiling. I also was fortunate enough to have some friends who let me borrow their supplies, including the cute chalk boards.

The dining room was where we put the food, using chalk board contact paper as a runner so we could label everything in a fun way.

Drinks in the kitchen and games here and there.

I also made this light string using dixie cups and scrapbook paper.

The lights outlined the entrance to the room we used as a photo booth.

Renting an actual photo booth isn't cheap, and this allows more people to partake at the same time. Here's a couple of my favorite shots:

My lovely co-hosts! Rachel and Rebecca

 

Can't wait until Estes! I'll be sure to post pics of the beautiful wedding!
