“Gossip Girl” Inspired Bridal Shower {Part 2}
In continuing with Part 1 of the gorgeous Gossip Girl Inspired Bridal Shower posted yesterday, here is Part 2: Menu & Activities.
Scroll down for details on the yummy food & drinks that the ladies were treated to, as well as the (non-cheesy!) bridal shower activities they participated in, as told by event designer Carolyn Chen…
ON THE MENU
- Caprese Skewers with Marinated Mozzarella, Basil and Tomatoes
- Traditional Waldorf Salad (a la Blaire Waldorf)
- Turkey Salad on Baby Brioche with Bacon and Roasted Roma Tomatoes
- Mini Crabcake Sliders
- Roast Beef, Blue Cheese and Pear Tea Sandwiches
- Egg Salad with Dill and Cucumber
- Blueberry and Cheddar-Chive Scones
- Preserves, Butter, Lemon Curd & Honey
DESSERTS:

DRINKS:
- Melon-Mint Water, Cucumber Water and Raspberry Lemonade served in glass apothecary beverage jar dispensers
- Hot Tea & Coffee
- Mix-ins: Cream, Sugar, Honey, & Lemon Wedges
Activities:
“Fun activities for the shower included “Spice of Life” game in which the ladies were put into teams and had to determine the names of all of the spices – sort of a spin to “smell the baby food” like you would play at baby showers.
For individual games, we played “Famous TV Couples” which of course included Chuck & Blaire from Gossip Girl, as well as “How Well Do You Know the Bride” questionnaire.”
Thanks again to Carolyn for the all of the wonderful inspiration! If you haven’t already seen it, be sure to check out Part 1 – which covers the fabulous tabletop design & decor from this party!

That food spread looks awesome! Where did you get those glass beverage jars? So pretty!
Anyone know where to get the questions for “How well do you know the bride?”??
Does anyone know where to purchase the AMAZING modern candlestick holders?
I love the questionnaire! Was it custom-made or or is there a vendor/website where I can order it?
Thanks so much!
Feminine, stylish, sophisticated….what more could you ask? I’d love to know the sizes on the clear risers & the questionnaire, was it custom? Thanks!
Are these recipes available on a web site? Particularly the Turkey Salad on Baby Brioche with Bacon and Roasted Roma Tomatoes, Roast Beef, Blue Cheese and Pear Tea Sandwiches, Egg Salad with Dill and Cucumber, Coconut Cream Pies, and Espresso Macarons. Thanks!
I love these apothecary beverage dispensers. I bought two at http://www.classichostess.com . Got them really fast and I love them.
How was the dark purple vase achieved? Did they tie ribbon all around a clear glass vase? Or was it bought ready made? Or some entirely different technique? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated, ladies!
This is so pretty! What were pamphlet books used for? I see it has the bride’s name on it and looks similar to a magazine.
does anyone know where to buy the candle holders? they are so pretty can’t find them anywhere
Wow, that is so beautiful, and the food is so vibrant, are the recipes available for these foods? :)
Where can I get the ” How well do you know Lily ” sheet….and maybe the questions on the back.
Gorgeous! Can you tell what size risers were used? Thanks
