Chris & Carla's Couples Shower

Jana and I hosted a couples shower for Chris and Carla (they eloped to Hawaii over New Year's). Seven couples....snacks....The Newly-Weds game....and a revised couples version of Balderdash. Lots of side splitting laughter and fun was had by all. Thanks to Jane, Elisa, Arianna and Kami for watching the tots for us!!


The invites.... And the newly-wed game questions






The spread.....we had heart cheese, meat, fruit pizzas and even heart shaped icecream!!




Game prizes


Opening gifts.....more candles!! (Shane and Nikelle gave them a spa basket!)

Hand-painted plate from us!


Matching hand-painted bowl from Nate and Jana


Pan with recipes from Dan and Nicole


Working on Couples balderdash.....and reactions to newly-wed questions.


Shane and Nikelle- 2nd place winners of Newly-Weds game....and winners of couples Balderdash!


Do you think he loves her? :)


Dan & Nicole had to scoot a little early....Reece was demanding Momma!!



Jana making a funny face....did you make one Nate? No. I will for this one!! Jana laughing.... :)


Brendan & Kayla- Scheming during couples balderdash.. They won the newly-weds game....the longest married couple of the group!


This is why I never post pictures of myself....I'm NOT photogenic. Aaron and I scored the lowest in the newly-weds game....mostly because Aaron's such a goof!


Carla thinks if Chris could go test drive and purchase any car it would be a mini-van.....Chris says he would get a BMW.....it may take a while for Carla to live that one down.... :)



More newly-weds game reaction faces.....

That was sooooo much fun yesterday. You were so excited about the party, and looking forward to it. Now I know why, you planned some really fun games and had great prizes too. We should definitely plan a progressive meal party, maybe for a graduation party!!!

Looks like ya'll had a blast!!! Now that's the way to throw a couples shower. :)

I would LOVE to go on the cruise with you guys in a few weeks. Unfortunately there are many reasons we couldn't go. :( Oh well, let's plan another tropical vacation for sometime in the future. :)
