I had the honor of throwing a Groom Shower for one of my Co-Workers, Jose, who recently married his beautiful wife Diana. The location was at a nearby park in the peak of the heat... we only had about an hour to dress up the place and make it feel fit for a Prince... Decided to go with the theme of The Frog Prince as I thought it was fitting that Diana finally found her Prince ;) Check out a few of the pictures from the fun event!

Decorated in Green and White, the Frog Prince Theme was a hit with our Cupcake Tower (the topper said "Will Work For Kisses"). Unfortunatelty we didn't start taking pictures till the end of the shower, which is why most of the cupcakes were already gone and eaten. I found these fantastic polka dotted lime green balloons that everyone loved at a local party supply store. The game pictured above was a questionaiire as to how well the Groom knew the Bride (all in all, he scored pretty well). The final picture is pretty funny.... We made a bouquet with some of the wrapping paper and transformed a picture of the Bride's face cutout by adding a veil to the picture (we used a program fan template and glued her face and veil onto it since the Bride was unable to attend - she was there in spirit and in picture;). It was a hilarious way to make the groom feel special. Hope you enjoy the inspiring pictures~

Kentucky Derby Party

A Day at the Races

Why? The Kentucky Derby might only happen in May, but that doesn't mean you can't celebrate like the prize-winning horse owners all summer long! Have fun celebrating your Engagement in Derby Style~

Setup: Decorate for an outside picnic with red-and-white checkered tablecloths, give each table the name of a prized thoroughbred, and encourage women to wear fun hats. Put the TV or radio on a horse race and pass out faux betting sheets

Music: Crank up country tunes like Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and Keith Urban

Nibbles: Barbecue chicken fingers, tea sandwiches, and ramekins of mac and cheese

Specialty Drinks: Mint juleps, of course! But if you're not a big bourbon fan, try mojitos (which are made with rum). You'll still get the mint effect

Mint Julep Ingredients:

Directions:
Muddle mint leaves, powdered sugar, and water in a collins glass. Fill the glass with shaved or crushed ice and add bourbon. Top with more ice and garnish with a mint sprig. Serve with a straw.

Get prepared for your dream honeymoon... you and your future hubby will turn heads styled in these shades of citrus on the beach:
