A couple of months ago I got a phone call from Jack’ee’s best friend/matron of honor. She wanted to know if I wold like to help her throw Jack’ee a bridal shower. Um, yes!
We decided to go super cheesy and just have fun with it. So 80’s theme it was. Jessica on party day said she felt bad because she felt like I did all the work. Funny thing was I was feeling the EXACT same way. We decided we made a good team since we each felt the other did more work.
My family got into town the night before, and I wrangled everyone to help my blow up a million balloons, and put streamer everywhere. And rearrange the living room so we could put Josh’s couch in it for more seating.
Dad: Hasn’t anyone ever told you less is more?
Me: It’s an 80’s party. MORE is more. It’s going to be like totally bodashas man!
Dad: Hahahahaha!
We had all the guests dress up. Which was a riot. Also kind of scary how easy it was to find outfits. 80’s style clothing is sadly coming back. We ate great food, played cheesy shower games (prizes were AWESOME though, romantic 80’s teen movies like “Pretty in Pink” and “Say Anything”), and watched Jack’ee open a slew of gifts.
Jon and the children working on the dessert.
I got this door coat hanger that has never been filled up with guest stuff. The reason I got it was for guest stuff, so I of course had to get a picture of it exploding with party guest purses.
The yummy desserts minus Jon’s muse that was chilling in the fridge.
The super yummy food that Jessica (Jack’ee’s matron of honor and my co-hostess) made.
The games were fun. There was lots of laughing anyway… 🙂
Kaylee was in charge of giving Jack’ee her gifts to open. She would “hide” the humungo bags behind her and tell Jack’ee that she had a surprise for her. For every single gift.
Jon got a tripod and showed Jessica (I was busy) how to use the timer so we could get this sweet group shot. Look at how awesome we look in our 80’s attire. Hahahah.
The we took some fun family group shots after all the guests left.
My cute cousins Gabby and Kelly, Aunt Maggie, and the Bride. With Kaylee’s head. 😉

Four generation picture. It was so awesome that my Abuela could come.
My cute Mom and Aunt Maggie striking a classic 80’s pose.
So then we ALL needed classic sister poses.
And finally here we are sitting around the table girl chatting. It was SO fun!
*** Where were the boys? They went to Wet ‘N Wild. Regan was able to ride ONE slide. That I hear he fell in love with and went down many many many many many times. I’ll post the one and only phone picture they took as soon as I get it.
