Squee! A Bridal Shower for ME?!

I'm going to a bridal shower next month, kiddies. Oh, and not just any bridal shower—MY bridal shower! The other day, I got this lovely little thang in the mail and I squealed with joy.

 Forgive the crappy iPhone photo!

How cute are those flowers?! MOH Brandi sure knows the way to my heart with those new "Love" stamps (she went to three different post offices before tracking them down). I hadn't even opened the envelope and I adored the invitations already!

But don't fret, hive—the actual invite is equally adorable.
 A fête hosted by Mama Seal and MOH Brandi? Count me in!

 She included two recipe cards with each invite and boy am I lookin' forward to acquiring some tasty new recipes!

There had been some wavering as to where the shower would be held which caused some delay in invite production—so as soon as the place was set, MOH Brandi (and her sweet BF) feverishly toiled over these during a long weekend to ensure they got sent out with enough notice.

Brandi sent me this photo (which I promptly edited) showcasing some of her hard work:
The task drove her to (5%) alcohol. Ha! She didn't think I'd notice.

Don't tell her this (because she'll use it against me one day!)—but I am so thankful to have this lady in my life, and so honored that she will be standing next to me on my wedding day. We've been friends for nearly 20 years (since she asked if I wanted to play with her "Skip-it" in 2nd grade—remember those?). And despite her move to Delaware a few years back—we've remained just as close. I can't fathom how she is managing to help Mama Seal plan my shower from nearly 3,000 miles away, but she's doin' it and I appreciate it (and her) more than words can convey.

My second lovely MOH (Meghan) and BM Sarah hosted an engagement party for Mr. Seal and I last year and it was amazing, so I am super excited for another wedding get-together! I really have no idea what's in store for me at this event, but I know it will be fabulous in the hands of my ladies and I cannot wait :)
 
How much did you *love* your shower invites? Who is hosting your shower?

I couldn't think of any comments for this post, but when I realized that it would be the first non commented on by me post ever I decided that I needed to write something, even if it was self indulgent and nothing more than a wordy apology for not having something to say. I'll be at this little shindig... I guess thats all that really needs saying. That and also that Brandi is awesome at crafts.
