two showers:: one night

so a few weeks back i had a couple's shower for my friends caroline and patrick that i was hosting and then an engagement party for my friend jillian and her fiance jake. wedding season is back in full swing. i love celebrating with my friends, but this particular night i hated that i couldn't be in both places the full amount of time. i made the best of it, and i think it turned out okay.

i started my night at the couple's shower for caroline and patrick at midtown sundries in denver. we enjoyed dinner with friends and then played a game of about 15 questions where we ask all of the couples to each answer them and then compare the answers. it was so funny to watch and hear everyone, as they tried to remember what their husband got them for their first valentine's day or what their wife's favorite store is.




patrick and caroline had asked for a stock the bar/entertainment shower, so they received a lot of alcohol, party platters, serving dishes, and drinkware. i am pretty sure patrick was pretty happy with all of the gifts! they should be set for quite a long time.



after leaving denver, i drove to my friend kasey's where the engagement party for jake and jillian was already in progress where kasey (as always) had prepared some absolutely delicious goodies. i immediately noticed the black bean salsa and sausage balls, seriously so good! i was stuffed from the earlier shower, but i made room for more goodness.



we played a game at this shower, where everyone had made up questions (ex. who is most likely to make the bed or whose mom is more fun or who did patchwork in college). they each had one of their own shoes and then one of each other's shoes and they held up the shoe to the answer they thought was correct, their backs were against each other, so they couldn't see each other's answer. it was funny to see them agree or disagree.




overall it was a great night, filled with lots of celebrations for two very awesome couples. i can't wait to celebrate with them at their weddings. patrick and caroline are first, wedding number one for me the first weekend in march. ironically, jillian and jake are wedding number six for me, my last one of the year, so far, in june.
