The Packers played the Saints last Sunday when we had 25+ of our favorite peeps over at the house celebrating our engagement & getting to know each other.
Remember the invitations...?? (I shared with you last week?)
It was a beautiful day for football, friends and family! Here's a peek at the get-together.
I put together a couple simple centerpieces from things I had around the house and added some green & yellow colored candies, Packer beads & Tundra Towel souvenir.
In the kitchen where dinner was served I used a couple of Steven's bobbleheads & drew up a sign for drinks....
Inside and out were some fun Green & Gold balloons!
We had more food than one could even imagine; Appetizers galore including Veggie pizza, chips and dip, taco dip, Jalapeno popper dip, crab dip, sausage/cheese & crackers, and it just kept coming and coming. All the girls were in charge of bringing an appetizer==it was delish!
Some friends brought desserts! Check out the cute cupcakes Morgie made!
Here's some of my favorite pics from the day:
Steve's cousin Mike (groomsman) & one of Steve's brothers, Dan (best Man) on right.
Bummer about the sun streaking in this photo. From left to right is Jeff (Usher), Kevin (Groomsman), Mike again and Justin (groomsman). These boys have been friends with Steve for years!
Mine and Steven's parents along with grandparents were also invited to the party. Great picture of Nicky and dad!
Jenna of course, will be one of my bridesmaids-actually standing up with her hubby Justin (on the right!)
Morgan, my bestie and Maid of Honor, and lil' sister Nicky (bridesmaid).
Little Lauren will be our Flower Girl and just barely two years old come wedding day!
Allyson, not pictured, is also one of my Bridesmaids and brought along her little peanut, Alayna (below)....it was her first-ever Packer Party ;)
My nieces and nephew, including Madelyn (above) will all be in the Bridesmaids and Carson will be the our Ring Bearer.
From left to right: Nicky's husband, my brother-in-law, Kurt, is a Groomsman. Of course, my older sister Angela will be standing at the altar with us that day, and Steve's long-time friend, Thomas, will be an Usher.
I had to share this one...I think it was all those beers and "touchdown" shots he consumed between the hours of 12pm and 7pm...
...but shortly after everyone left we cleaned up and snuggled on the couch to watch the rest of Sunday Night Football and he was out...like a light...in literally 2 minutes.
I didn't get photos of everyone---even though I really should have done the "guys" and "girls" thing, but not everyone was able to make it so it wouldn't have been complete. It was such a fun day, I love having people over at the house enjoying each others company and good time. Plus, I think we have leftovers for the entire next 2 weeks. LOL. Thank you everyone for coming! It was awesome. We wouldn't have our wedding day without all of you!
Love all the pictures!!!
