relaxing by the pool
I wanted my bridal shower to be low key and more of a get together of friends rather than a big deal with gifts and over the top decor, food, etc. My sister planned it and we held the shower at my mom's house. I had requested no gifts so that no one felt like they had to bring me something in order to attend.

We had a mimosa bar with lots of types of champagne, juices and fresh fruit. I had a few games planned out but not many of the usual ones because those bridal shower games tend to get old. One game we had was a memory game. Each guest wrote down a memory that they shared with the bride (me) but didn't write their name. I then read each memory out loud and all the guests had to guess who wrote the memory. The guest with the most correct won a little prize. It was a low maintenance game that led us to lots of laughs.

The afternoon was mostly us girls relaxing and sharing stories and enjoying some snacks and mimosas. My step-daughter Kiera was able to come as well so the afternoon ended in a little swimming pool session. My sister made favors for the guests as well. They were a little bag with soap and a candle and were labeled with "From Corinne's Shower To Yours." The party was just what I wanted and my sister did a great job with everything!
