I know bridal showers are supposed to be thrown by someone for the bride and the bride isn't supposed to help with it, but how could I resist with such an awesome theme like this? It was thrown by my mom and my moms friend, which technically they did the majority of it I just requested the theme and the color scheme and requested that everyone dressed up! and the majority of people did, even if it was just an apron people made the effort which was what was the best part!
We had tons of finger foods, which my mom did her best to make things that housewives in the fifties would have at their parties, shes pretty amazing for that! We also had a rum punch that was to die for (and not to mention strong), and of course what would a bridal shower be without fun games! We had one that tied in with the 50's, a how well do you know the bride, which supprisingly it wasn't the people I figured it would be. Then bridal bingo, which is a bingo card that the guests fill out with gifts they think I will receive, and when a present gets open that is on your card you mark it off!
The lovely ladies who made this possible(my mom on the right, her friend on the left)
some decorations
the favors were mini coke glasses made into candles and cookie cutters(because i love to bake, just like every 50's housewife should ) :)
what would a 50's party be without a record player. Those are actual barbies from the fifties, that my mom owned(even though she was not alive in the 50s) and that green box is a recipe box, every guest was asked to bring their favorite recipe, so now i have tons of stuff to cook
Red and teal, my awesome color scheme :)
My mom and Mother in Law- I love them both!! Yes I know shocking, but I actually got an awesome mother in law :)

Like i said before the day was a success and I had so much fun! The wedding is getting closer now and this is definitely the beginning of all the festivities! Next up-the Bachelorette party!!
Fabulous post! This party was just fantastic. I had a great time enjoyed watching these photos. My sister tied the knot at the local garden NYC wedding venues. I also used the chic vintage themed wedding shower for couple. It was a night bash and turned out to be just fabulous.
