Morgan, my good friend since high school will be getting married this December.  Not only is she my friend, she and my younger sister, Jennifer, are sorority sisters. On top of that, Jennifer’s roommate is Morgan’s sister, Jenny, who is Morgan’s maid of honor. Oh the connections, the links and the intermingling of our two families.  And did I mention our grandparents were all friends?

With all of these coincidences, Jennifer and I have decided to host a bridal shower for Morgan. It won’t be a cheesy affair with silly games but a classic  soiree that hearkens back to the glory days of society.

And we will share all the ups and downs with you!

My mother offered us her home in Dallas as a place to host the party.  I live in Austin, and my sister lives in College Station so we will be planning this shower from afar. This can be good or really, really bad.

Luckily, we have our mother, the impeccable and well-bred society woman who knows all about throwing a proper shower. Also at my disposal will be Emily Post and the Esquire’s Handbook for Hosts.

Stay tuned for updates!
