Favorite Pin Friday | Volume 28

Whoa what a busy week! Sorry I missed a post on Monday, but here's a quick recap before sharing my Favorite Pin Friday.

Last Friday the hubs and I attended our friends' rehearsal dinner/welcome party (they had a lot of out of town guests in for their wedding). What a fun time! Saturday was the wedding, it was so gorgeous! I wish I would have captured more photos, but I guess I'll have to wait until the professional ones are available to share a few. This week has been crazy too. I am a staff advisor for a student organization at my university and their first induction ceremony for new members was Monday night. It went well, a couple of hiccups, but that's to be expected with a first time event. Then it was bingo and drinks with some friends. Tuesday and Wednesday involved different celebrations for the hubs' birthday! Unfortunately I was sick on his actual birthday so it wasn't much of a fun day. We'll make up for it soon though. Happy Birthday shout out because I know you read my posts :P

Which brings us to today and Favorite Pin Friday. When it comes to giving gifts I like to be thoughtful (I think I've mentioned this in a previous post) so for the bride and groom I framed scrabble tiles of their name. Not only is it personalized, but we have weekly game night with this couple, so how fitting is it to have a gift made of scrabble tiles?! Inspiration from Listoric.

and for those leftover scrabble tiles you didn't use, here are some other crafty options...

Laissez les bon temps roulez

Let the good times rolls! Our friends are getting married! I can't believe it's almost time to celebrate with them on their big day. But first, it's bachelorette party time. The bride decided to take the girls to New Orleans. I've never been and was excited to go. Even though everyone warned me the place is filthy...but had amazing food ;) Of course I was reassured when good food was mentioned haha 

We did a lot of exploring in those 3 days and ate way too much. Rather than ramble on, I'm sharing pictures from my camera roll and the girls' shared photo album. Enjoy!

Wedding Season Begins

In lieu of Favorite Pin Friday I want to talk wedding season and share photos from a recent wedding we attended.

It's spring and that means lots of weddings coming up. Our good friends got married last weekend and I'm sharing a few pictures I snapped from their couples shower at our house, rehearsal, and wedding. Gorgeous professional photos can be found here.

Couples Shower:
Loved the DIY items!

Pies from Sam's Club, so delicious!

All the ingredients for s'mores

Rehearsal:
The rehearsal dinner was at a local place called Cork This Winery. I had no idea they had a room for events, but it was a great venue and hopefully I will host a bridal shower or other event there one day because it was a lot of fun. Lots of great gift items too! If you're ever in the Conroe/Montgomery area you should really stop by.

 

 

Wedding Day:
After waking up to thunderstorms I was worried this outdoor wedding would have to be moved inside. Luckily the rain disappeared and the ceremony went as planned.
