I have to say that I think I had the best lingerie shower ever... like EVER!
Neeley was in charge of the shower along with help from her Mom, Bailey, and Tenell.
La Posada had this amazingly cool library filled with whimsical southwestern artwork, book shelves, two couches and some tables and a big fireplace to add a cozy feeling. After visiting La Posada I knew I wanted to have something in this room and as soon as Neeley and Aunt Tammy saw it they decided it would be a great place for the shower.
All the ladies who had been invited to the wedding were invited to attend and most of them did. It was a wonderfully fun moment to let loose and hang out with the girls.
Neeley and Tammy did an amazing job decorating with delicious food and drinks and lots and lots of victoria secret bags. The cookies and cakes were toted from Amarillo with a special lingerie theme to them. Neeley had worked tirelessley on a ton of suprises all packaged in Victoria Secret Bags. There would first be a little card to read with a clue as to what may have been inside naught and nice things. Utterly Embarassing in front of some of the conservative Christian people in attendance but all in good fun... really she was trying to pay me back for her lingerie shower!
Among the naughty gifts were, plastic handcuffs, "tickle me there" dice, PromisQuous wine, and edible panties, oh and a box of condoms.... LOVELY! The nice gifts included some lotion, sweet panties, hello kitty lip gloss set, and a white garter with a gun attached, not sure if that was naughty or nice really. The girls went above and beyond and I was truly blown away at all the fun stuff I got!
In between the Victoria Secrets bags from the girls I was given gifts from attendees. Some of the most beautiful lingerie ever and some of the most comfy stuff too! Needless to say I was going to be set for a very happy first year and probably second, third and fourth of marriage with this stuff. It probably has something to do with why I got pregnant so early on but nevertheless... Peyton was there and she was eagerly handing me bags to open. After I opened a bag everyone would oohhh and ahhh and little Peyton went right along with it...then the smarty pants would say "that's pretty Aunt Megan." or she would say "whats that whats that." Pretty sure it was a little inappropriate for a 3 year old but it was fun having her there!
I had gone with Mom and Nana about a month before the wedding to pick out their gifts for me. Mom got me two items, one for the night of the wedding, a beautiful ivory and white lacy number and a fun floral nighty robe set. I loved them immediately! Nana and I picked out a black little set and I have to say it is mine and Drew's favorite!
Moving on... during the shower there was a bar across the hall so the hostessess decided to only provide punch and coffee. Somewhere along the way someone decided to go across the hall and purchase a bottle of champagne. Next thing I know that one is empty and Polly Sumrow, a longtime friend and member of the Church of Christ with my grandparents was walking in with two bottles she had bought for the party. I died of laughter and shock! I was so excited that she was enjoying herself and our group enough to jump in on the fun.
It was a shower I could have only dreamed of and full of people I love! The memories from this shower will last forever!
I honestly cannot thank Neeley and Aunt Tammy enough for their hard work to make the shower as perfect and special as it was.
