A Country Chic Couples Shower

Tonight we hosted a couples shower for our good friends Bryan and Courtney. Bryan and Courtney are so cute together, he is a very laid back country boy and she is a spunky classy city girl.

Thanks to Katie for taking the photos

Here are the details:
The lovely couple

Decorations:
Chalkboard sign, I originally bought this at Home Goods

This is the view as you walk through the door

I hung one pennant in the entry(see photo above) and one in the kitchen.
The pennants were made using fabric scraps from my craft room.

Each table had mason jars filled with coffee beans on the bottom. 
The jars were purchased from Kirkland's 

Existing chalkboard that lives on the dining room wall.

Food and Drink:
We put all drinks on the screened porch since the ice buckets usually drip.

Mason Jar fans for those who wanted to brave the heat on the porch
Aggie cups for the Bride. I took this chalkboard from my craft room.

Ice water with T labels for the couples last name.

We had hamburgers, chips, and baked beans for dinner.
I found the burger baskets on sale at Walmart for .30 each.
I also found this Mr. and Mrs. tissue at Walmart for $1(it was used to line the baskets)

These small bags contained plasticware, the Pop Shop crate is from my living room.
I printed the bag graphic on my home printer.

I couldn't find napkins that I really liked so I ended up making napkin rings from oil cloth scraps.
The napkins are paper khaki shop towels that I found at Lowe's.


Instead of fries we had Miss Vickie's chips from Sam's.

 Mason Jars held a serving of baked beans
 I really liked the gingham lids, these are from Walmart as well.
The serving line.
 For dessert we had s'mores cupcakes (thanks for making the icing Katie)


Guests:
Courtney's Family, her Dad was MIA

Friends from School

The Guys


Gifts:
 I made this gifts sign out of fabric scraps and heat transfer vinyl
 Our host gift to the couple
The goodies

We played a "how well do you know your bride?" trivia game.
Bryan was given 14 questions to answer about Courtney.
If he got the question wrong he had to chew a piece of gum.
This was his "wad" after the game was over, 5 pieces of gum.

Congratulations Love Birds!!!!
