Emily's Bridal Shower

Remember I mentioned that three of Evan's closest friends got engaged recently? Well, this weekend, I went to shower #2. Emily and Mike are one of the chicest couples I know, what with his architect's aesthetic and her amazing wardrobe, and the shower was a testament to their style.

It was held at Telepan, a beautiful, airy farm-to-table restaurant on the Upper West Side, one of my favorite neighborhoods (think: You've Got Mail, Zabar's, where Ted Mosby lives, and my first home in New York).

Emily's adorable bridal party chose a delicious menu and the food was amazing. We started off with a decadent assortment of sweet and savory breads (including banana chocolate walnut, hello!). My burger was the best I've had in awhile.

We played some fun games, but my favorite was a version of He Said/She Said where we were given a Facebook status update and had to guess whether it was from Mike or Emily. Hilarious and pretty brilliant. We also made those origami fortune games from middle school fame (or infamy?); I'm hoping poor Emily gets through her wedding day without any of the mishaps we predicted.

The favors were simple, cute, and tasty: M&Ms dedicated to the bride and groom.

Emily looked gorgeous and had a great time lunching with her friends and opening gifts (their bridal registry is, of course, amazing and so stylish). 

I'm so very excited for this wedding! Congrats Emily!!
