Valentine's Day Bridal Shower

My BFF is getting married next month and we threw her a shower last weekend with a lovely Valentines day theme. Her wedding colors are Black & Red and with the time of year it all worked out perfectly!

It also turns out Im completley and utterly addicted to pintrest! just about all of the recipies I made were found there.  

The food table.

We served lasagna, salad & Bread with these Caprese bites!

My BFF's name is Lindsay and growing up my Dad always called Lindzer Trarts Lindsay Tarts so I made these. They were easy to make and fun too - I'll be adding them to my Christmas cookie list!

these lil bites of goodness tasted great but looked nothing like the picture I was after!

 Now these were so easy to make and so delish! Strawberry cheese cake bites- ahhh I could eat the entire plate myself! Ill def be making these again in the future!

Heres is the happy couple!

 cake table - if you look close you see these - Marsh mellow pops. Fun idea and pretty & tasty!

I admit I was a little stressed out about how the shower would come together but in the end it was a success!
