The Shower: Beer & Booze Style

This post is about 7 months old, but I am finally putting up pics from our shower back in June.

I'm not much for tradition, so we had a boy/girl BBQ shower where we asked everyone to bring their favorite beer or booze to help use stock our bar. I have to admit, our shower was awesome! I had such a good time just hanging out with my closest friends and family. We ate delicious food, had yummy drinks including fresh strawberry vodka lemonade and played fun lawn games. We also left the party with a TON of booze and beer. It only took us a month or so to finish all the beer, but I still have quite a few bottles of alcohol that help make my bar cart look full.

I designed the invitations with the help of my best friend and bridesmaid, who drew the beer bottles for me. They turned out looking so cute! I wanted them to have that chalkboard, sketch style.

My sister threw the shower for me at her and her husbands beautiful house. We did the BBQ in their backyard. She bought fresh flowers from the local saturday market and arranged them in mason jars. The tables included burlap runners, wood rounds from the wedding, tin buckets & the mason jar flowers.

Our gift to our guests were custom beer coozies! Everyone loved them.

Drinks included beer, wine and water that we served in a wheel barrow. Cocktails included strawberry vodka lemonade, raspberry vodka limeade & mojito jello shots, which were a big hit and super delicious!

We specially purchased this bar cart, just for our shower. It nows sits in our new house and looks amazing! The asked our guests to place their gifts on our bar cart and fill 'er up. This worked out great as it showed off all the beer and booze we received.

We asked everyone to instagram any photos taken at the shower and use our hashtag. I loved this, as I can go back and look through the photos on instagram.

Thanks to everyone who made our shower so amazing!
