"G" is for Glitz, Glam, Girl.. A Baby Shower for Lucy

Over the weekend, my sister, sister in law and best friend threw me a little shower. Here are my invitations.. LOVE!!

Originally, my shower was scheduled at my moms house, but with me being placed on bed rest and my OB constantly suggesting I be admitted to the hospital... I began to panic and had my sister cancel the shower... It was really stressful!

My sister talked me into having my shower and we switched it to one of my favorite restaurants. It was perfect! I honestly couldn't have asked for a better shower!

It was quaint, lovely and I loved catching up with my family and friends who are all new parents as well!!!

I feel so blessed to have such sweet family and friends who made it out to celebrate!! 

Here are more details!

Food:

The food was amazing!! I had a pizza with pepperoni, spicy peppers & sausage. The strawberry lemonade dipped in pop rocks was delicious! 

Dessert was from Casey's cupcakes! 

Funfetti!! My FAVORITE!! I had funfetti cake at Landon's shower as well!! It's my favorite!

I saw these canvas bags on Pinterest and I had to have them!! 

My sil filled the bags with Essie nail polish and mani ped kit! Soooo cute! 

We had a simple game that gave us tons of laughs!! I wasn't even close to winning but we had such a good laugh! 

It really was more than I could ever ask for and it makes me so excited for Lucy's arrival! 

"Rustic Owl" Baby Shower For My Niece!

Over the weekend, we threw my sil a baby shower! We were going for a rustic owl theme. So so cute!! Color scheme: burlap & Lace with pop colors: pink & gold! 

Let's be honest.. A party by me isn't complete without my chalkboard sign lol! Best $49.99 I ever spent in my life! 

Next was my invitation! Coral ombre with an itty bitty little owl, wrapped in doilies! My favorite invitation yet! That's the problem with Pinterest... It has the best ideas!!! 

My pink ombre rain drop gift table... I think it would've turned out nicer if I had larger balloons, but my darling assistant Landon spent some time rolling on the balloons... Lol 

My center pieces were mason jars wrapped with burlap and lace... Flowers were hydregnas, babies breath and pink roses. Originally it was carnations but the florist didn't ask if I wanted light pink or hot pink so they bought white... Then offered to spray paint it pink but I refused to sit in a car with spray painted flowers (I had Landon and I'm pregnant).. So I went for roses.. Worked out but I wasn't happy. 

Table setting was exactly what I envisioned.. Rustic and classy.. 

The minute my sister and I saw these gold chargers... We had to get them! We threw on pink heart shaped doilies to add a pop color, thank goodness for valentines day around the corner, the dollar tree had them available! For favors, we got nail polish and wrapped it with burlap. (Again thanks Pinterest!)

Here is the mama to be! 

I made little bunting signs for the baby Mia using burlap with lace lettering (for desserts and drinks too) i also used pink, burlap & lace ribbons to add a pop! My sister made all the poms... So so cute! 

I loved the candy bar... Almond roca is my favorite treat, add in grape fruit flavored gummy bears, I was in sugar heaven! We also served pink donuts, cream puffs, heart shaped cookies and mini cinnabuns! 

We served mimosas with a variety of juices! 

The cake was 2 tiered.. Vanilla with fresh strawberry filling! The cake topper was purchased on etsy.. Really cute and they work fast too!!! 

I decided I wanted to do a bow station.. Different than a onesie project. We had headbands, hair clips and a variety of different colored felts. I added fake flowers... And plenty of scissors and glue guns! 

Here is my bow! Super cute and I can't wait to make bows for my little baby girl too!!! 

Some of the games we played... 1. Hold a baby while talking on a cell phone and hang laubdry.. My mom was so cute! 

2. Match the socks game.. This is my sil's grandmother trying to match socks... Here's a tip: keep it to 10 pairs minimum.. This game takes forever! 

3. "Oh shit my water broke" freeze little plastic babies (from any craft store) in an ice cube maker... Whoever frees their baby first screams "shit my water broke" wins!

4. Last game was guess the baby food game... Pretty easy.. NOT! Pears and apple smells exactly alike! 

3 of the diaper cakes that were gifted at the shower, how amazing is the golf cart diaper cake?!!! The owl was made by her sister. 

Such a fun shower for my sil! My sister is a fantastic party planner! So much goes into throwing a party and I'm exhausted! But it was all worth it.. Because I would do anything for my little niece! 

"Ahoy! It's a boy" Baby Shower

I had the honor to help throw a baby shower to one of my dearest and best friends. It was such an honor and so much fun to do so. 

The theme was Nautical. We wanted to keep it clean, simple, sophisticated and classic.

I was responsible for invitations, welcome sign, some dessert and more...  I designed them and created them. Everything was custom.. from the invites, to the envelopes.. I was so excited when they were finished! next to my wedding invitations, I loved the way it turned out. 

Next was the welcome sign.. which I also created! It's my new favorite thing to do. I tried to keep it simple but once the chalk hit the board.. I just kept going! 

We greeted guest with a mimosa bar and some games before each guest headed outside.

The dessert bar was STUNNING! It was was filled with so much beautiful detail..

My cousin Francine made her famous Red Velvet White Chocolate chip cookies... It was delicious. I can't lie, I ate about 4-5.

Macarons were from Bon Epi. I also ordered these and I was really frustrated because I ordered 50 blue-velvet macarons, 20 red velvet, 10 vanilla and 10 coconuts and when I showed up, they were teal. I threw a tantrum and my husband had to literally pull me out of the cafe to get me to calm down. I will not use them again.

Other desserts served was Pie, These cute little anchor cookies that Melissa baked (adorable) and cup cakes.

The drink station was set up so cute. Lemonade and Iced Tea.. along with canned drinks with paper straws. So sweet looking!

The food buffet had the most amazing spread! 

Caprese Skewers & Fruit Salad from Yasmin (AMAZING)

The pasta salad was delicious, the Quiche.. OMG the QUICHE was scrumptious- and the blue berry muffins were baked fresh too. I couldn't get enough of brunch. I ate 2 servings!

Oh the TABLE SETTING.. SWOON! the table setting was straight out of a magazine! It was so nice.

I got these little sailboats while vacationing in Carolina Beach. It was perfect for the occasion! I was so excited to use them too!

and the Mommy-to-be- Vanessa! She looked so cute in her nautical striped dress!

Here is the Mommy to be with the hostesses! I love these girls!!

Group photo with all the girls... 

I really enjoyed this baby shower! It was filled with so much love and fun!

Little Man Baby Shower Filled with Love!!

I wanted to Give an update of my Baby Shower from a few weeks ago!

First off, I L.O.V.E.D every minute of it! All the little details were perfect!

My Sister made this Cute little photo board and we put up all these photos of my husband and I when we were kids.

The dessert table was ADORABLE!

The Beverage Table had Lemonade, Iced Tea and Mimosa's!

Now onto Games!! The first was "Measure the belly"!! I thought it would be cute to show my grandma, 2 mothers and the winner (Vanessa)!

The second Game is Match the socks! there was a bag of 20 mix matched socks and the fastest person to match all the socks won a prize! My GBFF's (Guy Best friend forever)wife won... which she should've since she has two little boys! But it was super exciting for her because this is the first thing she's ever won in her life!

The funniest Game was "Oh SHIT, My water broke". This involved little plastic babies frozen in water! Some of the girls thought my sis was serving a beverage and started immediately drinking the water, some of the girls squeezed the cups which caused a huge water explosion in the living room- and babies popped up and flew across the room! The goal was to get the baby out of the ice to win a prize! We didn't get a picture of all the girls playing because it happened so fast... but we did get a photo of my sister messing around after she dropped all the clean babies on the floor!

The last activity was pretty awesome, Everyone got to decorate a little Onesie for Landon!so CUTE!

And here are some photos of Family, Friends & some amazing gifts we received!

can't forget the puppies & their little T shirts!

Well, I must say- Thank you to my amazing Family and Girlfriends for such a beautiful shower!!! We were left VERY well prepared our precious pumpkin to arrive!


I feel very Loved & I know Landon will be SPOILED rotten! xoxoox
