Hosting & Toasting: My Sister's Honeymoon Shower






"Off to New Zealand they will go as the new Mr. and Mrs.
Join us to help them celebrate with love and best wishes!"

You can probably tell that I love hosting parties - give me any reason to celebrate and I will quickly get the bubbly cold and begin planning every little detail. This weekend we were so excited to welcome our family and friends into our home to shower my sister and her fiance with lots of love and laughs before their wedding day in May. 
The beautiful Bride-to-Be
So happy that our Aunt could join us for the celebrations




My Aunt & Mom
The evening was filled with good food, a variety of New Zealand wines from vineyards that my sister and her fiance will be visiting during their honeymoon, toasts to the Bride and Groom and catching up with many dear friends and family. 
Delicious Cookies by Sweet Memories Bakery in Apex, NC.
Aren't these cookies the cutest? Airplanes, Suitcases and May Calendars.
Our menu was made possible by Crave Catering in Apex, NC.
Cheerwine Braised Beef Sandwiches
Rotisserie Chicken Salad Crepes
Three Cheese Mac and Cheese
Seasonal Salad with Pears & Feta 
BBQ Meatballs
Assorted Cheese & Crackers  

Cheers to the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Trohanis! We can't wait to celebrate with you in May!
Thank you to each of the vendors that made my Honeymoon Shower vision come together!
