Rockin it 80's style!

I recently held an 80's themed wedding shower for my sister who is getting married on November 3, 2007. I am a big fan of themed parties and there was never a doubt in my mind what a perfect theme would be for Kari! There is a t-shirt that sums Kari up beautifully and it is "My Hair was TWICE this big in the eighties". I think her hair probably felt like it was back to its roots (excuse the pun) when it got to be huge for the party! She was excited as she scored a "Shaun Cassidy wine glass for 10 cents at Value Village! I was really impressed though because almost everyone dressed up and there were some awesome outfits (and some guests sheepishly admitted they didn't need to buy a thing...it was all in their closet!

The Decorations

I had everyone decorate their own "My Name is..." name tag. Mine said "Jessie's girl"

and Shelby was Claire and her friend Sarah was Blair - I have no idea why they chose those names but they were super cute and it was a little sad how well they took to the 80's considering they weren't born until 1992! For a favour, I made an 80's mix with all of Kari's favourites (yes that meant a lot of Platinum Blonde, early Madonna and Rod Stewart)As luck would have it we have an old eye sore of a camero on our block which turned out to be a perfect place for photo's! Shelby won the "how well do you know the bride game" and the prized I had were a blast from Kari and mine past. My mom used to make these ice cream/flower arrangements when she owned the flower store in Medicine Hat (in the eighties) and Kari and I loved them so mom very kindly made me 6 for prizes. Thanks MOM!The feet...what a great representation of the 80'sShelby and I in our outfits...my mom didn't recognize me at first...I think it was the makeup!A huge thank you to Starr for all her help with the party AND she took all these pictures for me and did an awesome job! Also thanks to my mom for all her help and to anyone else that I forgot!
