A Something Blue BBQ

My sisters and I were in charge of Stefani's Bridal Shower. We decided on the theme 'A Something Blue BBQ' because it's summertime, and stef's colors are a bright blue and green.

Here's how the invites turned out:



I used my cricut for the outer shape and to cut the ribbon holes. The inside had this:



Obviously some info was omitted for the blog :).

We learned a couple of important lessons. If you plan a lot of stuff, you need more than one day to pull everything off. Kali came home on Friday, so we were rushing to say the least.

I couldn't get a great pic of this but it says "Here comes the Bride"

I put together the fabric garland and centerpieces.





Kali did an awesome job with the food! (my mom helped quite a bit too). It was a nicer version of a BBQ with rolls for buns and tiny hamburgers, wieners with toothpicks, green salad, and fruit salad using the watermelon as the bowl. Blue punch as well. Above you can see the dessert, a version of s'mores with chocolate pudding, graham cracker crumbs, and marshmallows. Along with a brownie version.

Dextin succeeded in getting some of that pudding, yum!

I also made these flower clips for anyone who came. I think they turned out cute!



They're clipped to a paper that says "Here is your something blue. Thanks for coming to our Barbeque. Feel free to wear them to the wedding too!"

Overall, it turned out cute, the food was good, and Stefani was happy, so I think it was a success.
