OK….truthfully, I can’t take any credit for the contents of this post. This co-ed shower was thrown for Jeff and me by our good friends in Los Angeles, but I thought the ideas were great and worth sharing anyway! Co-ed showers are perfect for people who can’t stomach the classic separate boy/girl-ness of weddings or having babies or for those of us with just as many opposite sex friends as same-sex friends.
And honestly…I couldn’t stand the thought of leaving out my future husband, bridesmen or guy friends just to sit around with a group of women feeling uncomfortable about NOT being a girlie-girl! This beautiful Southern luncheon was the perfect compromise for us. You can never be too grateful for a group of friends who really understand who you are as a couple. Thanks again to Sallie, Kalimba and Ernessa!
- Corn muffins with honey and butter.
- The best of the South.
- Homemade Apple and Gooey Butter pie.
- Strawberry jam favors were stamped and monogrammed and a “D” and “J”. So sweet.
- Welcome Y’all.
- A special performance by Nikki Kelly!
- A little shade on a perfectly warm day.
- People relaxed all day in the sun on blankets and lawn chairs.
- A cute DIY photo booth with a chalkboard to write messages to us.
- One simple cocktail doubled as a non-alcoholic punch. Brilliant.
- Can vases! Spray painted and wrapped in ric-a-rac.
- Rum cakes with berries. Yum.
And thanks to Justin, and Christian while we’re being co-ed!
yes, yes! How silly of me to leave out the husbands!
