All You Need Is Love

One of the perks of working 10,937 jobs is having the opportunity to meet tons of fantastic people. One of these fantastic people is a young lady named Virginia.
I have known Virginia for about two years, now. We have done theatre together at school, and worked at a small town pizzeria together for the last year. Last night, I was fortunate to co-host a lingerie shower for her.
I was so happy to be able to help her celebrate her engagement with some of our fabulous co-workers. Probably just as happy as her fiance` was that we were showering her with lots of swanky undergarments... ;)
Being that the co-hostesses are college girls on a major budget, we got pretty creative in the planning of the party. I think we got all of the decor, food, and drinks for under $40. Pretty good, huh?
I was so glad to be able to help celebrate such a special time with Virginia and the girls.
Here are a few party shots... the first few were taken with my iPhone... so they're obviously not the best of quality!
How cute are those tiny cupcakes? They were just as delicious as they look. All of the candles and flowers are compliments of the Dollar Tree and the table runner is a curtain panel from my living room.
The side tables were all decorated with candles, cinnamon discs, and peppermint candies.
The gift table <3 The table cloth is my sofa slip cover, which was originally a duvet cover purchased at Target, the runner is the other curtain panel from my living room, all of the martini glasses are from my kitchen, and the sparkly tulle is from Hobby Lobby.
Here's a glimpse of what everything looked like before Virginia arrived.
Obviously, this is when Megan started taking pictures with her "magic camera". She has a photography company called "Photographic Memories" that is absolutely amazing.
One of the games we played was "Pin the Kiss on the Hot Man"... which is a classic spin on "Pin the Tail on the Donkey". The person who kisses closest to the hot man's lips wins the game... Thanks, Alex Pettyfer and Google Images, for providing us with hours of fun. 
Here's the gorgeous bride to be with the co-hosts, prepping to get her mack on.
Virginia was the first to kiss and took the safe route by smooching Hot Man on the cheek.
Here's a great photo of Virginia opening her gifts. She's so beautiful and is going to make such a lovely bride.
The girls are all here! We had such a blast. Thanks for including us in your special day, V.
Obviously... I was having fun.
Mad Love, Cristen Joy
