What is a bridal shower in 2016? It's friends gathering to share in the excitement of a bride-to-be's upcoming wedding! Dani Zellmer was the guest of honor at a bridal shower we hosted yesterday for her at Starved Rock Lodge. It was a lovely party! There were games and sangria, laughs and delicious desserts. I made the decorations. Amy took care of all the fun games and Jenny was in charge of the food. I think Dani felt very special and there's nothing better than a room filled with people who care about you sharing in this happy time in your life. Everyone who came to this party works at the Lodge and it's rare that we get to relax and celebrate a special event. It was beautiful from start to finish. Best wishes to Dani & Ryley!
