Bridesmaid Diaries Part 5

Being a bridesmaid in 2 weddings is starting to catch up with me!
Phew, it's exhausting.
March 19th was KS's bridal shower and that went down wonderfully.
Now as I work through this week I realize that Saturday is DE's bridal shower and bachelorette party!!!!

Things I need to do this week:
1. Baseboards
2. Laundry- I need to get the sheets on the guest bed, a fellow bridesmaid is crashing here Friday night!
3. Clean bathrooms
4. Bath Dogs
5. Get Dogs nails clipped - Hubby is going to do this for me!
6. Vacuum & Mop
7. Wrap gifts & get card!
8. Write out recipe cards for gifts
9. Finish party favors for bridal shower
   P.S. Thank you Cheri at I Am Momma Hear Me Roar for this tutorial!  I can't wait to show off the bridal shower version :)

Things I've been frantically trying to help with last minute for the shower.
1. Finding a restaurant that will accommodate 15-20 guests on a Saturday night.  Turns out this hadn't been done yet, so I've been working hard to find something close to the hotel.
I bounced a few ideas off another bridesmaid and then shared them with the maid of honor.  We have thought that since we are a tad bit late making reservations that maybe we can order the food to go instead.  This way the women could eat while the bride opens all her lingerie gifts at the hotel!
Since most of the women at the shower are coming to dinner that night we could pass around the menu during the shower, take the orders and money and drop off the order when we get to Austin, hoping it'll be ready for pickup at 6:30.  Another idea is to see if any of the restaurants cater for a reasonable price.
I'm working fast to pull this together.
2. Finish up the bridal shower favors, we didn't have a final head count so I went with 25!  Still need to staple everything together.
3. Make a few things for the games at the shower/party.

It's exhausting to look at this list, but I know it can all be done!
It'd definitely be a tad bit easier if I didn't work full time, but I've handled this kind of craziness before and I can do it again.
I think after this weekend it'll be smoother sailing until the actual weddings in June.

So if I seem to be hit and miss this week in posting it'll be because of these lists.
I'm off to tackle the baseboards!
I hope you all had a Blessed Monday!
