The baby boy is already 2 months old,
so I am really late with this post. I've been meaning to post this for a while…
Oh well!
A couple in our life group was
pregnant so all us girls decided to plan her a shower.
We all chipped in on the planning, so
that was a great help. We decided to do a casual brunch shower and there were
about 20 people that attended.
The inspiration for the colors was an
orange and white chevron rug in the baby's room. Plus mommy and daddy both went
to OSU, so the orange fit perfectly.
I designed the invitations and put
them together which helped save on cost and they turned out fantastic! We made
signs for the different food and drink stations and we even had a cute menu.
We found this great shop online, ShopSweet Lulu where we found orange and white rectangle plates, striped straws,
striped napkins and orange and white tissue balls to hang. They have the cutest stuff at the shop—check it out! We also used mason
jars as cups, which was super cute.
For food, we had mini quiche, mini
fruit and yogurt parfaits, fruit, cinnamon rolls and blueberry scones. Then for
drinks we had mimosas, coffee and water. We only played one game—bingo! Bingo
was played while opening gifts. Everyone filled the squares with gifts they
thought mommy would receive and if she opened that gift, then you could cross
off the square. It really was a fun game.
Overall the baby shower was a
success. The food was great, decorations were great and we all had fun. What is
even better, is that baby boy is healthy! His mom is also super mom, because
she birthed a 10 pound boy! Oh man!
I love the awesome ladies in my life group and I had so much fun planning the shower with all of them! I
think we make a pretty good team.
Hope you enjoy the photos.
