Julie's Black & White Bridal Shower

Last weekend I went to celebrate one of my best girlfriends upcoming wedding. Julie and I met at a Baker Weekend for highschoolers to see if they were interested in the college. Two years later we were both students at Baker together. As soon as we moved into the freshman dorm we became instant friends because we pledged the same sorority and had all the same pre-dental classes. Julie, Megan and I were attached at the hip the entire four years at Baker. Since undergrad a lot of things have happened between Julie, Megs and I (ie: moves, grad schools, weddings, kids, and jobs) however nothing has ever changed. No matter how far away or how busy we have become with jobs, families, and kids we still are best friends. Julie has met the man of her dreams, Jeff and they are going to get married in October. Julies sister, Molly, Megs, Lindsey (julies best friend from High School), and I threw a bridal shower/bachelorette party last weekend. Molly came up with a Black and White theme that was super classy and lots of fun. All the shower guest came in Black and White, the gifts were all in black and white, and the decorations were black and white. After the shower we went to the JP wine bar for the guest to enjoy more food, wine, and coffee. It was a very laid back bachelorette party, which I loved. It was super classy and fun. Not like the "typical" trashy bachelorette party.

I was in charge of the invites. Here is the front of the invitation. The back was a black and white card that explained the theme, etc.

Julie, Megs, and I ALWAYS did a silly dress up dance for special occasions during undergrad. If it was your birthday, you found out you got accepted to grad school, or if you were having a bad day. Two of the three of us would dig through the costumes at AXO and find something to wear and put on a dance for the other one. Since we were spending the night at Jeff's house, Megs and I had arranged to do a "dance" for Julie. We chose the song by the Dixie Chicks "You Can't Hurry Love." It was perfect considering Julie has been patiently waiting for the man of her dreams. We did our performance after breakfast on Sunday for Jeff, Julie, Miss, Molly, and Lindsey. It was a total suprise. I think Jeff has no idea what he is in for with Megs, Julie, and me. It was a great ending to the weekend.
