Jeff & Amber's Wedding Shower

Rodger and I wanted to throw a shower for Jeff & Amber.  They get married this Wednesday the 13th @ Red Butte Gardens.
The party consisted of dessert and games.

The Dessert:
  Yummy Scotch-A-Roos (Rodger insists we come up with a new name for these), Crackers with green peppers and cheese, fruit with an amazing dip (thanks mom), and the famous soft sugar cookies. 

The Games:
The games were fantastic!  I loved them.  For this game Rodger and I held two trays filled with different candies.  We showed each team the 2 trays together for 15 seconds.  As soon as we left they have 5 minutes to write down and remember as many candies as they could and then to come up with a poem/saying about marriage.  It was a hit!
The boys.  They won and came up with the cutest saying.  You would think it would be opposite.  For their prize they got to divide the candy between them.  They were kind enough and shared.
The girls.
For this game I had a quiz made up for Jeff & Amber.  Earlier in the week they answered the quiz without each other seeing.  Amber would answer Jeff's questions about him and vis versa.  If they got it wrong they would have to put a BIG marshmellow in their mouth.  Jeff lost.  It was fun.
Of course I had to use this game.  Chels did this at my shower and it was fun.

Jamie won.  She was spot on with Jeff's lips.
*We also played the "penny game."  It's where you start with 10 pennies (we used beads, pennies are gross and make your hands smell, haha silly me) and say something unique about you.  You want to think of cleaver things that no one else can relate too.  The first with all beads gone, wins.  Rodger's dad won.
*Girls against boys again.  We had a list of the letters A-Z.  We had 3 minutes to try and come up with things that relate to Marraige/Wedding.  Don't worry, Jamie (who is 7) came up with Sex for the letter "S."  The girls won this time.

The Guests:
Scott, Holly, and Jamie.
(Rodger's dad, step-mom, and sister)
Randy & Cindy
(Rodger's mom and her boyfriend)
Rodger & Florie
(Rodger's grandparents)
Of course the Hosts:)
How could we forget the cute couple?
We're so happy for them.  They make a great match.
We love you.
