Well, as you know, my roomie, Emily, got engaged in January. With the end of the school year fast approaching and everyone about to spread in every direction, we wanted to have a lingerie shower for her while everyone was still around. Her maid of honor, Emily, and soon to be matron of honor, Lisa, were the gracious hosts and did a wonderful job.

The theme was vintage, of course; we girls are super into the Anthro, shabby chic thing. Emily's backyard was perfect for the occasion. We brought out a coffee table and spread blankets around it for a picnic. Twine was strung around the yard, and we clipped pictures of Dave and Em to it with clothes pins. Of course, we had to have plenty of candies, Em's favorite.
For our brunch we had all kinds of goodies... cinnamon rolls, egg casserole, mimosas, fruit salad, and more! Em's mom came down from Dallas for the special occasion too!
After brunch, it was time for Em to open all of her presents. Along with opening gifts, we played a little game. Emily and Lisa had asked Dave questions like what was the best gift Emily ever gave him or what was his favorite outfit that she has ever worn or what was he was most looking forward to about being married. These questions and his answers were written on little scraps of paper that we all drew from a jar. When Emily opened our present, we would ask her the question and if she didn't guess Dave's answer right, then we would get to make her do something. For example, when Em didn't guess what Dave's favorite meal she made him was (it was pasta, he thought it was homemade, but it really was Bertolli's from a bag), she had to call him and admit that it was from a frozen bag... it didn't matter to him though! Another dare was to quickly "chug" some pixie sticks.... Lisa's payback from when Em made her chug tons of pixies at her shower.
Everyone had such a wonderful time. I love some of the candid shots that were captured, because they show how much fun everyone had celebrating Em!
And on top of the cute candid shots, there were lots of great "posed" shots that I just had to include too!

Well, I wish I could show you the cute pics of Em's lingerie, but that is not for you to see, so I will show you a pic of the boxes and then a pic of our cute faces and the bride to be on Oct. 13, 2012.
