Tricia's Baby Shower

We had the pleasure of planning a baby shower for Tricia, one of our past brides! So this Sunday we headed over to the beautiful Yardley Inn, where she was showered with lots of love and a ton of gifts for her little girl on board. Her family chose this chic silhouette theme with lots of light pinks. The invitations featured a silhouette of a baby bump and the rest of the stationery followed this theme. We created napkin bands with various baby items on them and placed next to them were baby shower bingo cards and an advice card for the mommy-to-be! A cute "Welcome Baby" banner hung above the gift area and the room was decorated with tissue pom poms and lovely flower centerpieces. Guests enjoyed a delicious brunch provided by the Inn and then were treated to cupcakes created by Felix's Bakery. As a favor, guests were able to grab a bag of pizzelles on their way out. It was a fantastic day and we're so happy for Tricia and Justin! We can't wait to see little baby Giuliana! 

Erin and Brian's Collection

Erin and Brian's color palette of black, pink and white really pops using a damask pattern. I loved how their pocketfold invitations turned out, so we ran with the look for the layered programs, placecards, bar menus, signage and guest book. I love these designs!!

Laura's Baby Shower

My friends and I threw a very special baby shower for our dear friend, Laura. Heather designed a gorgeous invitation that set the theme for the entire event. The tables were adorable; the centerpieces were baby bump wire dress forms with a few breakaway arrangements of blue hydrangea and scattered candles. We even tied a little pacifier around each person's glass! There was no shortage of sweets either- the Cake and Cupcakes by Ligia and cookies by Center Stage Sweets were the perfect complement to the color coordinated candy buffet. Guests enjoyed the bib decorating activity and baby Aaron was spoiled with so many wonderful gifts!

We had a great time planning and throwing this baby shower for our wonderful friend!

Best of Luck to Laura and Julio! We welcome baby Aaron into the world with love! CONGRATS!

Mary Ellen's Baby Shower

We were so excited to have a hand in planning a baby shower for our wonderful friends, Mary Ellen and Steven. They are a hilariously fun couple and their child is already a welcomed addition to our fiesty crew! I'm sure he'll be a handful before we know it. ;)
The parents-to-be are very eco-friendly and want to raise their child in an organic environment. The bedding they chose for the nursery inspired the look of the entire event!
The towel cake was a gift from an extremely creative guest!
What a good job!!
Sweets to You...by Ginger did an excellent job matching our invites and the strawberry-shortcake inside is incredibly delicious!
oreo truffles... MAKE THEM! NOW!
(you can thank me later)
another way to keep "green" was to do a display shower; plus, bonus!- no hours unwrapping in front of an audience = more time to enjoy visiting with guests!!
Nonna Ristorante in Newark was the perfect location and the menu they put together was great!
Instead of typical shower games, we did an activity! At each table were markers, stickers, scrapbooking paper and cut-out features from the proud parents' baby pictures.
Guests were asked to use the features to "Build A Baby" to see what the new arrival would look like!
they make cute kids, 'eh?
The guests then compiled their baby pages into a scrapbook guestbook! It was really fun and had everyone participating and chatting with one another! What a way to break the ice!!
Fortunately, their real baby, Joseph Bradley, looks nothing like predicted.... he's WAY cuter :)
Welcome to the world, JB! We love you!!!
