A Modern Day Fairy Tale Bridal Shower Planning

As Kristen's flower girl, Ava is helping plan the bridal shower. (It was all her idea, honest.)

The Matron of Honor and I decided on a Modern Day Fairy Tale theme to look similar to this one:

We still have some planning to do, but we know we want to incorporate the gray chevron stripes with hot pink accents, a little bit of bling, and some softer, more romantic details.

The shower is going to be a brunch at a restaurant so the food and drinks are taken care of, as are the table linens, flowers, menu cards, etc. Which leaves us with the rest of the decor to really set the tone of the event, games, favors, and dessert.

Decor: Scrabble letters and vintage books wrapped in twine (as shown in the tablescape above) and several silver antique keys I've been collecting.

I found this table runner and matching napkins with the gray chevron stripes on Etsy (but I also kind of like the combo in the pic above, so we'll see):

I've also been collecting various white and silver picture frames that I'll fill with pictures of the bride and groom, epic love quotes, etc.

I think we can also manage a few strings of dangling crystals like these (but not the banner, I'm not really a huge fan of this one and I'm not sure there will be a place to hang one, as much as I love them in general):

Games: So far, we like this one with the cute he and she silhouettes (with the right colors of course)...

And it's always fun to see the bride's childhood pictures...

Favors: Favors always have me stumped. Generally I like to go with something edible. Any suggestions?

Dessert: We're thinking a buffet table with mini cupcakes, Parisian macarons, mini lemon bites, and some pretty candy accents (hopefully ending up along the lines of the candy bar here).
