Showered

I have two bridal showers that are being thrown for me. The first will be this weekend down in Raleigh, NC at my MOH's house. She and two of my other bridesmaids are hosting this first shower which is primarily for my college friends that are invited to the wedding. We decided to have a small shower in NC since that's where most of my college friends live and because it would be easier for my MOH to plan. Then Saturday night after the shower we will be going out for my bachelorette party!! I have no idea what's been planned for either and I like it that way.

The only thing I do know/have requested is no penis paraphernalia. To be honest I've never understood the whole point of weaing a penis necklace while drinking out of a penis straw for your bachelorette party. I guess back in the day when most chicks were still virgins on their wedding nights I could see how this would be "scandalous" but nowadays?? I hate to burst anyone's bubble but I have seen a penis before. Shocking I know! I have also requested no veils or other over the top accessories. Frankly I feel a bit too old for all that stuff.

My second shower will be at the end of April and is being hosted by my mother. The guest list for the second shower is made up of the female relatives and friends of the family. I didn't really want one big shower since I know most people hate sitting for two hours watching someone open presents, plus it's more expensive for the host when you have a larger guest list.

Now for the fun stuff. I bought two new dresses this past weekend for each of the showers. I'm sure I could have dug something out of my closet but these are special occasions and deserve a new outfit damnit!

The first dress that I bought for this weekend I purchased at Papaya. It's a light, summery white dress which I also plan to bring on the honeymoon. I know it's probably cliche to wear white for my bridal shower but I plan to be a bride only once in my life so may as well take advantage of it right?

I'm still trying to figure out shoes and accessories.

The dress I bought for my family shower in April is from my home away from home otherwise known as Target.

I wanted something a bit dressier for the second one. I think I may add a big belt around the waist but I have some time to get those accessories. On another note, why do both models have the top half of their head cut off?? Do they have really hideous foreheads or something?

As for what I'm wearing for the bachelorette party festivities I'm still trying to figure that out. Probably my skinny jeans, sexy heels and some kind of dressy top but I'm still working that out.
