Kaylene’s Backyard DIY Bridal Shower

Celebrating the Everyday, Entertaining  //  

As you may have read from this morning’s post, I had the honor of being Kaylene’s Maid of Honor for her wedding this past weekend! Being a Maid of Honor comes a lot of responsibility… planning a bridal shower was one of the responsibilities that I was super excited about!  Fortunately, Kaylene has an amazing group of girls surrounding her, so her shower was certainly a group effort!

We were so excited about her Fun In the Sun backyard shower that we thought we would share some of the details and photos with you! Kaylene is not one who is a big fan of the traditional bridal shower games (Thank Goodness, because I can’t say that I am either!  ;) ), so we decided to have just a few activities instead of the standard games!  Mad libs, secret message popsicle making for Kaylene and Matt, and recipe sharing were all part of the fun! Our cousin Jenna made the most amazing cupcakes and cake balls to enjoy in the afternoon along with some fruit and popsicles before we opened up to the guys for an evening cookout! Dessert before dinner… why not, right?!  ;)  Our afternoon of fun in the sun was the perfect way to celebrate our sweet bride!  Enjoy the details!

During Kaylene’s bachelorette party weekend, we took some time to craft!  While enjoying wine from our DIY chalkboard glasses, we whipped up those cute Cupcake PomPom toppers and tied up the utensils.  Everything you see here was DIY… and so easy and fun! Our inspirations came from Kaylene’s Bridal Shower Pinterest Board that we created for the shower!  Most of the DIY projects can be found in there, but if you have specific questions about how we did anything- you let us know!  We are more than happy to share!
