Typically, a woman gets to have one bridal bash before her wedding. But for Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, two bridal showers should do the trick.

On Sunday, April 15, Housewives co-star Felicity Huffman gave Longoria an outdoor bridal bash at her Los Angeles home. The small co-ed gathering consisted of a sit-down lunch wherein guests feasted on a salad bar with chicken salmon, shrimp, gourmet cheeses with various wines and martinis. For desert, they gorged on chocolate chip cookies, brownies and white-chocolate pastries. Of course, guests also showered Longoria with gifts.

Longoria told People, “It was such a special day! Felicity and my maid of honor, Brittany Olson, went above and beyond to make the whole afternoon beautiful and memorable. I can't thank them enough. I'm extremely blessed to be surrounded by my family, friends and co-workers and to have had them all together to celebrate this special moment in my life."

Apart from Huffman’s bridal bash, Longoria aslo got an additional bridal party.shower This time, it was a girls-only party thrown by Desperate Housewives co-star Teri Hatcher.

A total of 30 guests, including the cast and crew of ABC’s popular drama comedy, attended Longoria’s party, feasting on finger foods and champagne.

According to People, the guests were each handed a garter, which they had to surrender if they were caught using the words “Tony,” “Paris,” or “dress” during the night. The winner, which acquired the most number of garters, was Desperate Housewives’ publicity coordinator Joslyn Paul. Nevertheless, everyone went home with a special token, a swarovski crystal candleholder.

Longoria, 32, is presently engaged to Tony Parker, a 24-year old NBA basketball player of the San Antonio Spurs, and is scheduled to wed on July 7, 2007 in Paris.

To catch more of Eva Longoria, watch Desperate Housewives every Sundays at 9/8C on ABC.
