Love is in the air...

Can you believe that these two kids are getting married next month?!?  It seems like just yesterday that I took their engagement photos.  This past Sunday was the wedding shower for Brian & AJ  at Carlucci's hosted by Sandy, my mother-in-law, and myself.  The theme for our shower was "Love is in the Air."  Brian & AJ's wedding colors are pale yellow, ivory, and gold with pearl accents.  We tried to incorporate their wedding colors throughout our decor with our own twist.  

You know all the Pinterest fails you see online?  I'd consider this a Pinterest win!

We played 2 games - Name that Movie & Wedding Vows Mad Libs.  

Both were great finds on Etsy. 

Some special gifts from the hostesses...

Don't you love this cute sign for the ring bearer? The back side says, "Let's get this Party started!"

A custom hanger for the bride's wedding dress with her new name - Mrs. Backer - along with some crystal "I Do" stickers for the bottom of her wedding shoes. 

A basket full of special items just for the groom...

Thanks to Alana, one of the bridesmaids, for assembling this amazing bow & ribbon bouquet for the rehearsal. 

Congrats to the future Mr & Mrs Brian & AJ Backer
