I threw my best friend, Renee, a surprise baby shower. The theme was purple polka dots and we invited all our friends over to celebrate. The big sisters all wore their big sis t-shirts, and the two little brothers wore their little brother ones. They were all so adorable and everything turned out perfectly. I love planning parties and this one was so much fun. Soon I will be throwing another baby shower for another dear friend and this theme is, "Ships Ahoy, It's A Boy". I already have ideas flowing of what I want to do!
The parents-to-be! So excited to honor them with a special baby shower!
The Decorations and Favors- I love polka-dots, so we had to go with that theme. Jacob actually made the diaper cake for me because it wasn't turning out the way I envisioned and drove me insane. The favors were white chocolate rattles with purple accents and white and purple M&Ms in baby food jars. I made a clothesline out of little onesies and hung it in the dining room and also made a purple polka-dot banner that said, "Welcome Jordan".
The food and cake (and drinks). Since the shower was at night we had sliders, Chick-Fil-A nuggets (the best!) appetizers, and other sides. I actually made Renee bring a side dish so that she wouldn't suspect anything! I got the cake from Publix and changed a few things so that it went with the purple polka-dot theme. And what party isn't complete without margaritas made by the mother-to-be!
The gifts (the best part)! Renee received so many wonderful gifts from all the families. The table was overflowing with presents! I loved the shoe basket from Kim. Hmmmm....wonder who got her the Vera baby bag???
***Update Miss Jordan Ann Pearson made her arrival on September 18, 2010 weighing in at 6 pounds, 5 ounces at 1:05 pm! She is absolutely precious and looks like a porcelian doll!
