Last month I helped throw a bridal shower for my beautiful sister-in-law who is getting married this fall! Her wedding is going to be a Gatsby theme, so I wanted to incorporate a bit of that into the shower while also adding a few more things to make it unique for her. She served her mission in Italy and loves all things Italian, which we integrated using the food, and she’s also a desert girl which we integrated in the favors.

The menu included:
Caprese skewers
Italian bread with an olive oil “buffet”
Artichoke Hearts
Broccoli Salad
Meatballs
Fruit Tray
Sparkling Apple Cider with a gold paper straw
Cheesecake Bites
2 different flavors of Gelato served in black paper cups and ate with a wooden spoon wrapped in gold washi tape

The decorations were kept fairly simple, with a lot of black, white, and gold. I cut circles out of gold and glitter paper to place on the food table and to sew into a banner that went above the gift table.

And for the favors I bought these darling succulent packs from Lowes to plant into cups.
