Retro Housewife Bridal Shower

My childhood best friend, Jenny, is getting married very soon! Last week was her bridal shower, which turned out really well. We decided to merge Jenny's soon-to-be status with her love of Mad Men and turned it into a Retro Housewife party!

Gifts and Prizes


Whisked Away! Whisks and homemade wedding dress cookies
Cupcakes made by scratch by Supermom Stacy (Thanks Stef!)


We had The Good Wife Guide: 19 Rules for Keeping a Happy Husband. The original issue came out in the Housekeeping Monthly on 5/13/1955. We played the bowl game (think charades and taboo) surrounding those rules. We also played the Toilet Paper Wedding Dress! Prizes included knitting doll-tools, Little Box of Jacks, Slinkie, kitchen utensils, cute mini notebooks and sweets.
