Hi girls... I thought some of you might like to see pics from the shower I had mentioned on the OB a while back... Diamonds are a girls best friend. It turned out pretty nice for an extremely limited budget! The thing I was disapointed in was that not very many people showed up. Oh well!
My mom does cakes and I had bought two house cake pans for my son's birthday cake. (Bear in the big blue house). I had her cut the roof off of a house and make it into a jewelry box. Then I stuffed a bunch of my jewels inside. Turned out pretty cute!
We had a vase full of "diamond chips" and the guests had to guess how many. I brought my Marilyn doll, and I rolled up "how to be a good wife" into scrolls with diamond rings around them. After reading, guests had to remember as many good wife tips as they could. They were cracking up!
Didn't think the gents would be too interested, so here you go!
By the way, it was hot and humid and my hair ended up in a clip that day!

Looks absolutely fabulous Nikki!:eusa_clap I love the cake, it's just wonderful!
And the 'How to be a good wife' tips are hilarious, any one else note that -Be happy to see him was not at the top of the list?lol
I can't believe you managed all that on a tight budget! It looks like you gals had a blast.

OMG! Nikki, when I saw the pic of the three of you I almost fell out of my chair! I have that exact same shirt! I like yours better as mine is rose colored.

Thanks girls!

Amelie she's actually the Franklin Mint vinyl Marliyn and I have a few of her other dresses too. She's about 16 inches high so she really towers over my Barbies!

Pink Dahlia, you mean the satin with rhinestone buttons? I gushed over that for the longest time at Kohl's but I hate to pay over $10 for a shirt. I finally nabbed it on clearance for $7 something! Woohoo!

It sure pays to shop around when on a budget tho. Regular plastic black tablecloths were about $3.99. But then I found a section for graduation and they were only 99 cents each! Then the pink paper placemats were only $2.50 for 50. The candle holders were recycled from my wedding.

Frankly I just like to throw in a little vintage or other eras in anything I do, hoping to get others interested in it.

Great pics.
I love that good house wives guide. I had printed that out last year and put it on my fridge for my mom to see as a joke. She just rolled her eyes :rolleyes: . I also passed it out at work, we all had a laugh and the guys just loved it. But they didn't dare try to give it to there wives as they would have been thrown out on there arses lol
