We are at it again with the tropical themes. I guess we love them and they come easy to us! So here we go...
We recently put together a bridal shower for a great friend. She is getting married in July and lives at the beach so the Tahitian/Tropical theme just just fit. We were able to recycle a lot of our decorations form past parties (50th anniversary, birthdays etc). It was a small, so we were able to go a little over the top on food and drinks.
We simplified the centerpiece to be functional and fun. We used sand and HOMEMADE bamboo, flower pens. Yes...homemade! Sometimes Katie and Cindy get so creative I could just die. Where they come up with these things is beyond me. But hey, that's why we are a good team, they are creative and I help organize and execute! Anyways, back to the pens:
We wrapped the patio posts in a burlap fabric and used real palms out the top to look like trees:
The famous KDC Event photo op was present (recycled from the anniversary party):
We served appetizers and a main course. The appetizers were delicious, see below for photos and details. For the main course we served chicken and beef kabobs with fresh veggies, coconut cilantro rice, and pasta salad.

The cake was a Momma Labonte original complete with surfer girl cake topper (thanks to Cindy):
It was such a fun shower to put on. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Let us know what your thoughts are on it, Thanks!

Great job! You ladies are always on point :-)
WAY cute! You ladies really have an eye for party planning. Great themes that work so well!
after all that Tahiti stuff on Bachlorette, how appropriate is this! What a fun theme! It looks so yummy I could just dive in!
the decorations are so cute, but the FOOD--I'm sooo hungry now and it's all presented so nicely. Great job!
Very cute! That cake looks DEEE-LISH!
And Denice, thanks so much for stopping by! After a three hour long blogging session last night, I'm FINALLY back on track. How about you ladies?
Thanks everyone! We love doing this type of party =)

Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog. What great timing you have, just last night I was writing a post about the difficulty of planning an event when there are a number of people involved in the process. I'd love to hear how you manage that. If you have any interest in adding some tips to my post, you can contact me and I'll add a link to your blog. You can reach me at:

Again, thanks for stopping by. I love event planning sites. It's always fun to see the color palettes used for different occasions.
@Karen- so excited for your upcoming post next week...Stay tuned KDC readers =0)
