Way back in 2009, my sister graciously offered to host a bridal shower in my honor. I was so excited and I even helped with some of the little details, like the invitations! I was able to keep my yellow and grey argyle theme with these too. As you can see we chose May 8th, which was also Mother's Day weekend and this worked out specifically because our mother turned 60 on May 9th and we knew the whole family would be able to celebrate together this weekend. We even hosted a "surprise" birthday party for my mother, and you can see the invitation for that below too.
And long before the bridal shower Mr. L and I decided that it would be nice if his mother, who lives in Texas, could be a part of the festivities. So as a Mother's Day gift to her we flew her out to Virginia! She was thrilled!
Everyone enjoyed their weekend and I certainly loved opening all the wonderful presents! Here are a couple of pictures of the event.

Looks like fun! And what a sweet gift to include your MIL too!
