Around the Clock Bridal Shower

When my brother got engaged, I wanted to throw the wedding shower for his bride to be.  I had never thrown a shower before, so it was fun to plan.  I went with a classic theme - Around the Clock.  My sister helped make invitations that were a bride and her bouquet had clock hands on it indicating what time each guest was to bring a gift for.  The rest of the shower was based on this theme.  The cake and cupcakes I made were decorated with their wedding date (9:04) in time format.  Then the food was based around different times of the day - we had two breakfast dishes (8 am), two lunch dishes (noon), two dinner dishes (5 pm) and two dessert dishes.  The menu cards were designed with clocks in the background, and they were printed and placed in frames.  Also, there is a picture of my gift to her - a towel cake full of bath items for her time to relax at 8 pm.


Enjoy!
