So - we got moved in and 5 days later threw a baby shower. Mommywood to be exact. A wonderful family and close friends - And I think, personally, perfectly suited to a fabulous mommy.
This was a third little girl for the family, and a miracle - just like the other two. I always wonder why people don't throw showers for EVERY baby - they are all blessings and the mommies still have to endure the pregnancy right? It's not just that you NEED a new stroller, or onesies, or anything like that - it's that you NEED the party!
Our theme was Mommywood and the colors were Hot Pink, Pink and White. {Based on the nursery}
We had cupcakes and mini-appetizers as it was held at 3pm on a Saturday in our backyard.
The boys were invited and we set up a "Dad's Station" complete with cigars and beer. . . {Where would we be without these daddies?}
Favors were boxes filled with Candy that represented the Love Story of the family, example: a ring pop for marriage, pop rocks for how the house is crazy with girls etc. It was wrapped up with tulle ribbon and a bubblegum cigar and a pacifyer (actually ring from dollar tree - LOVE)
We made baby blocks - 5 for each little girl - decorated 3 sides and had guests write well wishes to the family on the other three. Goodness knows what this mommy will do with the blocks - but hopefully something the girls can pass to their kiddos.
And then we set up a tent with draping, damask curtains and a wonderful chaise lounge and had the videographer tape well wishes and we all read pieces from the mommies adorable, touching and oh so sweet blog. . .
And to top it off - tissue paper EVERYWHERE! {Thank you Martha Stewart}
Now. .to start planning the next party!
xoxo
