for the love of lindsay: mad about you

In the words of my friend's new husband, Gianmi, "Jen, you were born to be a bridesmaid."

If I weren't already happily married this statement might have worried me a smidge. I knew what he meant though, and I so appreciated the sentiment.
There were a lot of little things that made Lindsay's bridal shower pretty special. In a previous post, I shared my handmade bunting that was fit for an English garden party. This time, I am sharing something with a little more whimsy that ended up adding a special touch to the female bonding that was happening over bellinis and finger sandwiches.


Guest libs! Mad libs made especially for the shower that guests could fill out. They were sweet, funny and a more updated version of the "sharing of advice" that happens at most showers. This is what they said:
