Youngest sister and I were thrilled to host a wedding shower last Saturday for our niece and her fiance. Their wedding is next month and it is exciting to share in their happiness.

We decided on a brunch couples shower (yes, the men had to suffer through oohing and aahing over sheets and kitchen gadgets, but we had lots of food and drink to compensate for it!)

We served pasta salad, spinach salad, ham biscuit sliders, pulled pork sliders, mini quiches, tea sandwiches and a hit among the men attending-bacon wrapped tater tots!  For dessert, we served a beautiful amaretto & apricot cake, chocolate-toffee truffles and mini fruit pizza cups.

It was a great party and bride and groom received several lovely gifts. Best wishes to them!
