My youngest sister is getting married in a few weeks, so of course that means a shower must be thrown! Her wedding has a definite retro vibe and her own personal style has always been anything but traditional. With that in mind, we decided on a 50's housewife theme for her shower. The colors she's using in her wedding are aqua with touches of yellow and red. Perfect for our retro theme. Even the menu was retro. It included such classics as, pigs-in-a blanket, deviled eggs, and the piece de resistance, the sandwich loaf complete with cream cheese icing and stuffed olive decoration.
When I was trying to come up with ideas for the shower, I stumbled across the
Wedding Chicks website. They have great DIY project ideas and lots of
FREE customizable templates. I was able to customize the colors to match our shower.

| We asked our guests to wear their best 50's housewife dresses, aprons, and pearls. Desperate housewives??!! | |

| Congratulations little sis! |
