Julia's Bridal Shower

*WARNING: This post will be picture heavy! (You are welcome and/or I am sorry.)

Another Jewski is getting married, and my youngest sister & I jumped at the opportunity to plan her bridal shower. We had the BEST time creating the invitations, finding decorations, and planning a menu. Emily & I bought all of the paper from Paper Source and spent an afternoon putting them together. I could spend HOURS in Paper Source - I was heart broken when I heard their Bellevue location closed. I am hoping the one in U Village sticks around!


Thanks to our new fascination obsession with Pinterest, we had no trouble finding inspiration for DIY projects and items to bake. My personal favorite? The fabric banners. These could not have been simpler! We bought the pre-portioned quilting squares and then I made a stencil out of an empty box. Trace, cut, and  string. Easy!



As for the favors, they included another online find. Julia loves Scrabble. We have grown up with it, as our Nana was always challenging us to a game. (We used to have to team up to beat Nana, but now we can take her on our own.) I knew I wanted to incorporate Scrabble somehow - and thanks to Etsy, that was no problem! I found the cutest magnets made out of recycled tiles and the store owner was so easy to work with. She absolutely loved that they were going to be used as favors and helped me come up with a list of wedding-related words to be used. To go with each magnet, I made some salsa to celebrate the fact that Julia and Marcus will be getting married on Cinco de Mayo!



Seeing everything come together was so fulfilling. Now who's hiring?







He stole the show. 
Seriously - how cute is he?
The perfect gift - their reception will be at The Space Needle.
Creating another glassybaby addict.


Let the countdown to May 5th begin!
