THE UNBRIDAL SHOWER

The concept of the unbirthday, as immortalized in the Disney movie, “Alice in Wonderland”, is something I can wrap my head around and run with.

So much so, that I spun it into an “unbridal” shower.

When Mother’s Little Helper was about to marry Prince Charming, she wasn’t too keen on the traditions of pre-marital celebrations, such as the ‘bridal shower’.

Marrying at Disneyworld, what better place than Orlando to host her “unbridal shower”!

Borrowing some ideas from “Alice in Wonderland”, the theme for the “unbridal shower” was a tea party. Goodies and beverages were marked “eat me” and “drink me”. Gifts were labeled “open me” and it was a wonderfully relaxing way to spend the morning hours leading up to the early evening wedding.

Being on the frugal side herself, she seemed to enjoy the low-key festivities of her “unbridal shower”. It took a little imagination and a lot of risk, but the “unbridal shower” was a success.

Several hours later, she was a beautiful “Princess Bride”.

Years have passed, Prince Charming and his Princess Bride continue to live happily ever after. They have even added an heir to their royal family who is now an inquisitive and adorably charming little boy. Such is the circle of life.

SOUND THE BUGLE! Today’s tip: To save energy and time when baking, make a cake using layer cake pans or bake cupcakes. If making cookies, consider making one large cookie in a pizza pan or 8x8 square dish and divide the cookie into bars when the baking is done. Your dessert will be ready in 15 -20 minutes with minimal effort on your part!
