50s Housewife Bridal Shower Part 5 -- Party Time!

I respectfully ask that you not pin pictures of my children to Pinterest. Thank you!

 Here's part 5 and the wrap-up of my sister's 50s Housewife themed bridal shower. Her wedding is going to have a vintage modern flavor with a coral and blue color scheme and lots of lace. I wanted to incorporate some of those elements into the decor of her bridal shower. We also wanted to use her milk glass collection to add to the vintage theme. (Check out more shower posts here: Pennants and Poms, Coffee Filter Wreaths, Lacy Mason Jars, and Games and Decor)
