A Sex and the City Bridal Shower for the Lovely Ashley...

One of my "best, good friends," Ashley (roommate of two years in NYC), got engagement in January of this year. Of course we needed a smashing bridal shower to celebrate her and her upcoming nuptials.

We ended up deciding on a Sex and the City bridal shower since it was an evening shower and Ashley wanted her girls to get all dressed up.

I made the invitations in photoshop and had them printed at Staples. I really wanted to do circles, but I totally regretted it when it came to cutting them out! Luckily my sister gave me a circle cutter for Christmas :) I wanted to put a belt on the invitation, but it looked really boring so I ended up designing a little logo to put on it.

The party went well! We threw the party at the wonderful Kristin's apartment and crammed about 20 of Ashley's NYC favorite people in!

The lovely Karen made adorable quizzes in the shape of Cosmo Magazines! We had the guest guess how Ashley or Eric would respond to the questions. It was so much fun reading Eric (the fiancé) answers. Karen also included some of Ashley's favorite fashion tips and a cute little movie ad for the video I made for the event.

For the favors we did little mini patent leather purses that were mini manicure sets and nail polish.

Food? Yes you always have to have food. We did little mini desserts and bit size savory appetizers. Delicious!


It was such a great party and so wonderful to celebrate the lovely Ashley!

Only Five Days!

I can't believe I'm getting married in only five days! I've been busy the past few months and the time has just flown by.

What have I been up to?

Family Visit: Dad, Mom and Kari came out in September for a little visit. We did the usual: saw shows, went out to eat a lot, and crammed all of us in my room. Good times!


Engagement Pictures: After a lot of back and forth with photographers, Jeff and I finally found one that was available. Unfortunately, we had to wait till the end of September, so our announcements went out very late. It's all good!


Wedding Announcements: I'm not sure when and why I thought it would be a good idea, but I decided to make our wedding announcements. Let's just say that took several weekends!


England Emails: I have been emailing and calling London several times a week for the past few months, but we have finally gotten it all figured out! I'm getting really excited about our little trip across the Atlantic.

Utah Bridal Shower: I went out to Utah for a bridal shower in October. My lovely future sister in-laws and mother in-law threw me a lovely bridal shower! Mom and Kari drove down to attend as well. It was a nice weekend and I got to catch up with a few of my BYU friends.


New York Bridal Shower: Ashley (roommate), Karen (roommate), and Kari thew me a tea party bridal shower in the city yesterday. One of my favorite places for brunch is a little place called Alice's Tea Cup. They made all my favorite items off the menu! It was a lot of fun catching up with some of my NY friends.


Kari's Visit: Kari is now in town to spend my last week with me as a single lady! I have a few errends I need to get done before Friday, but I hope we can have a lot of fun in between.

Work Work Work: Work has been tough for me as of late and I'm so looking forward to the time off.
