Baby Shower given with love; round 1

Although I don't spend too much time planning showers, some have have been given with love for very special people in my life. One of them being my best friend Adrienne.

Adrienne and I met in elementary school. We immediately clicked and were inseparable from the first day of school. We both planned our lives out together. We promised each other that we would be each others maids of honor, our children's god mothers and share every special moment of our lives and fortunately it has worked out in that very same way!! When she first announced she was pregnant together we cried, we laughed and we immediately began to plan the long awaited baby shower. She decided early on that she would not find out the sex of the baby (yes I went off on her a few times, but had to respect her decision) so this made the color choices a bit challenging. Knowing that I would not let her down she gave me some leeway as to the decor and here's what I came up with...

Some of the details not shown here:

• Every guest received a home made cupcake along with a personalized note thanking them for joining in our festivities.
• The packaged cookies were shipped from California (Mothers brand) and assembled the night before the shower.
• The cake was a marble chocolate and vanilla cake covered with fondant, made by both Adrienne and I.
• Each table had a different name to it like, baby cry, baby Gomez, bottle feed, nursery etc.
• We also had a scavenger hunt with disposable cameras in which the guests had to photograph baby related items.

The baby shower was a huge success and the result was a beautiful bouncing baby boy!

Coasters as favors!

I have used this small but memorable detail in several weddings and thought it was such a cute idea I had to share....

These are paper coasters that have several uses. In my case I have used them as hanging decals to be placed on the rear view mirror of your guests vehicle, by the valet personnel at your venue. You can personalize it to say just about anything like "Sweet Dreams" "Safe travels" or just a simple "Thank you for sharing our day". They are very inexpensive and come in an array of colors.
