Kentucky Derby Bridal Shower...... I have the best friends ever!!!

This weekend, my friends threw me a fabulous Kentucky Derby Themed Bridal Shower!  I cannot express how amazing this party was.  I am so grateful I have such supportive, thoughtful, and creative friends. Above is a picture of all the hostesses and gals.  I was absolutely blown away by all the creative details that went into decorating and planning this party including all the super cute games we played. (Update:  Game Poem now added at the end of this post!)

This is me in red standing with the beautiful creative impetus behind this party (Becca).  She even made my hat to match my dress! I had no idea what the theme of the party was until I got there.  Below are all the pictures of the creative details.

How stunning is this table? All the yummy food presented with beautiful Arthur Court serving ware and an antique silverplate chafing dish with red roses.  Fresh Fruit, spinach dip, chicken salad sandwiches, marinated broccoli salad, cream cheese with red pepper jelly and crackers, and chicken bites with sauces.

I was so blown away by the adorable favors:  chocolate mint plants in the cutest little terra cotta pots.

The invitation.... no that is not a silhouette dye cut.... Becca hand cut those babies out using cuticle scissors.  I am in awe of her skills!

Antique plates:  beautiful! If I was not in love with Arthur Court serving pieces before this party I sure am now.

As if this party could not have been better.... there were Gigi's famous cupcakes: Kentucky Bourbon pie, Scarlet's Red Velvet, Champagne, and Wedding Cake.  They were so sweet and delicious.  This was my second Gigi's experience. I received so many amazing gifts from my friends and we had such a wonderful afternoon that the time completely escaped me and I don't think I left the house until around 6! (Thanks Kelsey!)

 Wedding is less than a month away and I am surprisingly very calm and not stressed out, there is no way I could have gotten this far without wonderful friends and family.

This is a rather peculiar game
It really does not have a name
It’s simple to play as a game should be
You just do as you’re told, you see
So now if you’ll please give me your attention
We’ll put an end to this suspension
In the end, whoever scores the most
Will receive a prize of which to boast
Now since you’re all fashionable girls
Give yourself 5 if you have any pearls
You may add 3 if your toes peek out
And earrings will give you 2 more to shout
Score yourself 5 if you show any red
Add 6 more for a curl on your head
Now before you think you are going to win
Take away 2 for each safety pin
Give yourself 6 if your pants are tight
Add 1 for a scarf which is just about right
Add 5 more if your shoes are black
And take away 3 for a zipper in back
Now count all your buttons, for each you get 2
And take away 1 for each button that’s blue
Give yourself 5 if your heels are high
And why not take 10 for the green in your eye
10 more points for a rose on your clothes
Take away 5 if you forgot to wear hose
If your husband you kissed today – add 9
If you didn’t subtract 12 – you’re subject to fine
This is the end…there isn’t anymore
Who is the lucky lady with the highest score?
