Hello my beloved VSers! :nun: ( <-- VICTOOOOOOOOOOOOOORY!!!)

This Sunday my friends will be throwing me a Bride of Christ shower. I first head about this type of thing a several months ago (most likely through VS! Hah!) and saw this post from the Passionists Nuns: [url="http://www.passionistnuns.org/blog/?p=47"]A "Bride of Christ" Shower[/url]. This party will be celebrated with a few of my closest friends -- there will be five or six of us in total.

We'll be watching [url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061122/"][i]The Trouble with Angels[/i][/url] (and maybe [i][url="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0171433/"]Keeping the Faith[/url][/i]) aaaand I think I'll be making that to-die-for [url="http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/recipes/desserts/coffee-cake-literally/"]Literal Coffee Cake[/url].

I'm sure we'll play games, too, but I don't really know what.

Anyhooooo -- so, I just wanted to check in here to see if anyone else has had experience with these things (Bride of Christ showers or even normal Bridal Showers).

- fun games to play (perhaps "cleaned up" versions of Bridal Shower games)
- fun "beverages" to drink and foods to eat
- fun activities
- fun bridal shower "traditions" ("cleaned up", please, if not appropriate :saint: )
- anything else I don't know. Haha!

P.S. -- this Sunday is the Feast of the Queenship of Mary. Isn't that lovely? Makes me happy -- even if it is technically trumped by Sunday. :nun: )

Thanks, all!

:notworthy: :blowkiss:

I LOVE [i]Trouble with Angels[/i], though it makes me cry at the end now...


I have a couple game suggestions:
"Pin the Veil on the Nun" or rosary or something like that. :nun:

For my wedding shower, my sister made up a quiz for everyone else to see how well they know me (multiple choice). Just fun questions, like, "Who is Sarah's favorite Saint?" and "What medal does Sarah always wear?"

At a friend's party, the hostess had talked to her fiancee and made a bunch of questions about HIM and the hostess asked HER the questions. Your friends could probably look, if your order has a website, and see if they can find facts and such to stump you on there.

S'mores are always a fantastic food. ^_^ And, I learned at my sister's party, that you can roast marshmallows over the stove!

If I think of anything else, I'll add it later. :)

S'mores are AMAZING! I've never done it on the stove, but I've done it in the microwave, which I learned is pretty messy if you are not watching the marshmellow! I love watching it puff up though! :hehehe:

Not sure which "rolling" you meant, but they're all still there (I think) but it looks like the codes have changed. I've never used the codes--I always click on the pictures (yeah, yeah, I know--it's just that I never paid attention to the codes. In fact, I didn't even know you could USE codes until all this came up. :nerd: )

rotfl :lol_roll: :lol_pound:


Random idea: Have your guests wear white socks with sandals, to get an idea of the types of mortifications you will undergo in the future. :cool:

This thread has piqued my interest... I've played with the idea in my head and thought about doing something with the Youth Ministry here to have a baby shower for the Life Center along with the Bride-of-Christ to be Shower...

I've also always really wanted a tea party. But this is your thing, [i]not[/i] mine, so I'll try to keep my thoughts out and just leave good ideas...

Okay, I have to think about this... sorry.
