A Nautical Bridal Shower

I'm going to be a Mother-In-Law! And I'm gong to try really hard to be a great one. 

As the wedding draws near, I am helping as I can. Mostly just a sounding board for ideas and of course, helping with the invites. But I was most excited to plan and host the bridal shower. Because my son serves in the Coast Guard, and because as the hostess, I get to choose, I picked Anchors Away for the shower theme. Oh boy, it was fun hunting for anything nautical to include.  The theme also made the menu easy to plan...seafood of course!



What seaside day would be complete without foofie drinks with umbrellas?







And how about a banner with nautical flags that spell out the names of the bride and groom.


For dessert, a cupcake bouquet made by my awesome neighbor Kim. Oh, and she makes the best buttercream.


The ladies got a little competitive over a game where they had to guess the spice. 


 The bride to be looks very happy!
