Lauren Manzo is ready to say "I Do!"

The famous daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Caroline Manzo celebrated her upcoming nuptials to Vito Scalia over the weekend with a fabulous tea party fit for a princess!

Held in the backyard of Caroline's home, the shower featured more than 100 guests including Bravo stars Kathy Wakile, Melissa Gorga, Rosie Pierri, Greg Bennett and Jacqueline Laurita.

"My shower was better and more beautiful than I could ever have imagined," Lauren shared with E! News exclusively. "My mom really outdid herself and went above and beyond any of my expectations."

She added, "The outpouring of love from family and friends was overwhelming and made me feel like the luckiest girl in the world."

Guests were treated to food catered by the Brownstone and cooked by the Manzo family. Other delicious snacks came from Vito's new restaurant.

According to a source, Caroline was also able to plan the entire shower that included beautiful décor and centerpieces.

"Thank you so much Mom! You are the best person I know & I love you!" Lauren wrote on Instagram while wearing a custom dress by Watters. "My Bridesmaids and aunts and friends helped with so much & I feel so overwhelmed with love!"

While the wedding date isn't until this July, fans of the family will be able to watch Lauren's journey to the altar on Manzo'd With Children's second season returning later this summer to Bravo.

"Stunning! I couldn't be more proud of my niece," Jacqueline wrote on Instagram. "I'm so excited for her wedding. It was a beautiful Bridal Shower!"
