My super special sister-in-law had her first bridal shower today, thrown by me. Although her mother- my mother-in-law took care of all the food. We played some games for these prizes. One of the games we played: we weighed in all of the guest's purses. There were prizes for the heaviest, lightest and closest to the bride. I was surprised the heaviest purses including Katy's weighed 6 pounds. Guess which prize was chosen first?
I tried to explain Appalachia America to my Hispanic students last year in Nebraska. The best way I found to explain it, was a place where nobody moves in and nobody moves out. When you choose to marry someone from a neighboring town in this area you usually get a rather large wedding and more than one shower. It is a large and wonderful party stretched out over several weekends. I am trying to be creative about the gifts I give Katy at her three showers. I want the gifts to be spontaneous, fun and of course something she will love.
Gift One:
Jacie, Jaelin and I made (after seeing the initial idea online) a "Bucket of Dates"
There are several date ideas and a couple of gift cards that Calvin and her can draw from in the next year. We also included a photo album so they can take pictures and have memories from their first year together. Stayed tuned for next weeks gift!
