I had a bridal shower for my best friend at a tea house. It was so fancy & beautifully decorated, we didn't really have to do any decorating. The menu was all set and we had a nice private room for the shower. It was very nice! Do you have any place like that?

I just threw a bridal shower that I am still getting rave reviews over! My friend gave me the idea... she had heard about it somewhere and I decided to try it. I did a Mashtini bar.... It was a chafing dish full of 20 pounds of mashed potatoes and all the fixings... grated cheeses... from parmesian to cheddar, gravy, sour cream, chives, butter, cream cheese, salsa, bacon bits, etc..etc... you get the idea. I ordered colorful plastic martini glasses that you can wash and use again or throw away and did everything with lots of colors. I had been wanting a really good icecream scoop so I used the party as an excuse to finally buy one for myself cuz you need one of those iceream scoopers that have the little thumb thing to release the potatoe scoops into the glasses to make perfect scoops... It turned out to be quite a hit! Picture on my facebook:
