Lina's Bridal Shower

Last weekend we had a bridal shower for a dear dear friend of mine- Lina. She's a spunky lass n keeping such a big secret from her was difficult for me, esp since i see her almost everyday for lunch. i had to keep reminding myself not to say anything that would give any indication of the party. alas, our efforts in keeping mum was wasted wen sumone dcided it would be better if the bride knew of our plans. haish! despite all the drama, i had crazy fun. went home with half my sanity intact and a voice that was going due to the shouting n screaming playing charades (my all time fav game!)- peppered with karaoke sessions. it was great as we were just a small bunch of close frens so singing our hearts out didnt render the occasional throws of rotten vegetables like it would have had we been singing to strangers.

lina's sister made her this little tutu that was so cute and she was twirling around like a loon and 'combing' the strands of net ribbon that made up the skirt. the theme was pink, white and black. and we had sum pretty fun games and we ate n ate and ate. i think most people went home with a full stomach and memories to last a lifetime. i know i did

preperations were done just the week before via FB je ok! we were discussing themes and such on fb throwing ideas back and forth and finally came up with somthing everyone could agree on. not as easy feat when u consider how many hard heads were at work here :)

some people voluntereed to prep sum stuff. her sisters did the deco and gift bags while i did the food. and burnt my hands in 3 places in the oven- lina are u reading this?? please capture ok. ahhaah!- the lenghts i go thru to feed the people i love...

we ended the day with a 'prize giving' ceremony ala kerajaan dpt award with lina handing out our goodie bags. i loved it! in keeping with the black white n pink theme, we were each given a reusable grocery bag- which i personally love coz i collect them in a bid to save the enviroment and to make up for all the hairsprays and air conditioners i use. inside thrs a clock from ikea that has been personalized by her sister in law n is so cute! with a lacey pink doilly in the middle and a small crown on the number 1. complete with jewels on the crown. cuteness overload!! and thr are sum chocs and a cute sewing kit tin and a glass with sleeves custom made by her sister.

i hope the blushing bride to be had as much fun as i did. i had fun cooking for the party eventho i burned my hand in three spot- did i mention this? lina are u capturing this??

Enjoy the photos that i conveniently stole from the bride to be's fb
