A Retro Honeymoon Shower

My sister, Rachael, is getting married in almost a week! A few weeks ago, me, my other sister, Ellie, and Rachael's best friend, Chrissy, threw her a Honeymoon Shower at my home. Guests were encouraged to shower Rachael with items she could pack for the honeymoon. She got lots of fun things...from bathing suits and dresses to crossword puzzles and water guns!

Rachael and Jonathan are going to Mexico for their honeymoon so we decided on a retro, tropical theme for the shower. We used antique globes, vintage cameras, cherries, Jantzen swimwear ads, and toothpick umbrellas to transport us to the 1950s. I made Mexican garland (papal picado) with a paper punch, tissue paper fringe( I was inspired here), and ribbon garland as a backdrop for the table. We spray painted gold some exotic toy animals I found at Michael's for $1. Chrissy made Hawaiian flower pens for party favors and to use during games.

The guests were invited to enjoy appetizers and desserts. For appetizers, we served bite-sized tacos and quiches, Mexican 7 layer dip with tortilla chips, and ground beef queso. For dessert, we served cupcakes with coconut buttercream icing, fresh fruit with the chocolate fountain, peanut butter buckeyes with pink icing, and mini fruit pizzas on gluten free cookies! We also served a tropical juice cocktail, with an umbrella of course!
