Afterwards I went back home to change outfits and pick up my gift. Instead of traditional registry-selected gifts, Juliana wanted everyone to bring a unique glass vase to be used in the centerpieces at the wedding. It was a cool idea that definitely showcased everyone's style.
The shower was being hosted by Katie and Carla, two of Mom's friends, so we arrived at Katie's house a little early so we were there when guests started arriving. Look at that beautiful cake!
It was quite a lovely setup, with little fruit cups, hummus and chips, and a refreshing champagne punch. Family and friends started arriving and it was quite fun catching up with everyone.
Once all the ladies had arrived and were settled with food and a drink, the opening of the gifts began. It was fun to see how everyone interpreted the glass vase theme, and hear everyone's recipe and marriage advice cards that were included with the gift.
And then it was time for cake! It tasted delicious and I was able to chat with everyone I missed during the before presents segment. Andrew dropped by to say hello to everyone and then it was time to go. It was a delightful afternoon celebrating Juliana and the upcoming marriage. Only two more months before the big day!
