new york city themed bridal shower

May 26, 2016 · In: life, marriage, relationships

New York City Themed Bridal Shower

When in the party planning stages for my girl Desiree’s bridal shower (a big part of the bridesmaid duties, in my opinion), I had a hard time initially coming up with a theme. She’s a Southern girl, but wasn’t into the trendy southern wedding vibe (“No chalkboards, no mason jars” is a direct quote).

But then it dawned on me – something we both loved was Broadway. A classy, New York City themed bridal shower seemed right up her alley.

From then on, I put my Pinterest-obsession to good use and found all kinds of NYC inspiration for a lovely bridal shower. With some major assistance from the bridesmaids, I think we put together some pretty gorgeous decor, and threw her a memorable shower.

And this was how the tables cape turned out. I loved it. I really think it came together so well. And thanks to our lovely guests, we had a ton of food too!

I was inspired by a pin to do the skyline on black foam board with a silver Sharpie – but all credit goes to our friend Judith for bringing it to life!

I used a lot of decor items I already had. So, I slipped in some southern burlap. Shhhh!

One of the resources below shared the idea to give out costume jewelry as a favor, and we loved the idea.

Inspired by the Tiffany’s logo, I thought it would be fun to have a poster we could all sign to remind her of the people who attended. I created a simple design on Canva, with Desiree’s name instead, and had it printed on a poster via Staples.

For more NYC party or bridal shower inspiration, here are some great sources!

But over time things changed. And what a relief it was to not have to forfeit peace to keep up the status quo, to learn how to have boundaries and cultivate integrity. To see the Bible as God’s story of reconciling with us. 

I’m happily in my healing, expanding faith era. If you’re here too, leave your favorite star sticker (emoji) below and come grab a seat so we can chat more.

Truly, re-examining, unraveling, and renovating my faith helped me get to livin’. 

If this post feels like I read your diary, please stick around! It’s been a busy summer, but I’m getting back to my writing routine and have so much to say about this journey.

And I really want you to hear this part: God is n And I really want you to hear this part:

God is not punitive like people can be.
And to take one verse out of context instead of lining it up with God’s character and heart for you is to miss the whole thing.

I just want you to know if that if the scriptures have felt (or been used) like weapons and your system has processed them that way—God isn’t demanding and disappointed like that. Not every verse is aimed at you or meant to be taken literally. 

Read in the context of who God is: compassionate, gracious, abounding in love and faithfulness. Read in the context of the whole Bible: God’s story of reconciliation and redemption and restoration of Creation. 

Maybe relax your shoulders, take a deep breath, and know you are loved and covered in grace.

This trend, but about what happens when you ditch This trend, but about what happens when you ditch performance and perfectionism for grace-filled growth.

This is not a to-do list, by the way. Not a resume or test or a title. (Not, “you are now proclaimed holy”.)

These are, I’ve found, holy experiences that get revealed as you take steps along this faith journey. This is what it looks like when you’re settling in to the transformation that happens when you lean in to the Spirit, follow Jesus, and get to know God better. A settling of the soul. 

What kinda holy experiences have you encountered on your own unique journey with God?

Not to be dramatic, but… Everything changed when Not to be dramatic, but…
Everything changed when I started:

viewing stories of women in the scriptures with care and respect instead of making assumptions.

reading the Bible as God’s story, not morality tales about people. 

recognizing that God cares about our wholeness and wellbeing, not perfect performance or self-improvement.

seeking depth and God’s withness over easy answers. 

Does this feel like I’m reading your mail? (I’m not.) Stick around. Here we talk about rebuilding your faith and theology and Bible study without shame and shrinking ❤️
