Thanks for sharing! Great ideas and so sweet of your SIL!

My sister did a recipe box for me as well, I think it's a great idea.

 

Another thing I've done in the past as a BM that I think is good is buying the bride her TY notes and giving them to her with the addresses of the shower guests already written on the envelopes. It makes it soooo much easier to do TY notes when the cards are all ready to go.

That IS a great idea to address the TY notes and would have been very helpful. Next time.

Keep in mind, that I told my BMs that I wanted NO GAMES at my shower. Well, they completely ignored me...

 

They asked my FI 25 questions about himself, i.e. his first pet, his favorite color, etc. Then I had to answer the same questions. I only got like 8 right because Mike likes to joke around and had fun answering their questions...for example: "How old were you when you first kissed a girl?" and Mike answered "When I was 28" (because that's when we first kissed).

 

Also, my BMs had bridal shower bingo, which I don't like, but it does help some of the older people get involved and have fun.

 

And they had a "How Well Do You Know the Bride" game, where everyone had to answer questions about me (i.e. my dress size, my favorite movie, etc.) and the person that answered the most questions, got a prize.

I just emailed my sister. If she has them saved on her computer and sends them to me, I'll definitely post them!
