I had my first baby shower in Columbus on Saturday with a bunch of my friends and it turned out to be beyond anything I had ever expected. Lynn, who is 35 weeks pregnant and who I hosted a shower for last month, hosted the shower along with help from a few other good friends and my mom. My friends definitely know me well and planned every last detail according to what I like (in terms of food & dessert) and what Baby Rodrick's nursery is going to look like (pink and gray). I left the shower completely overwhelmed by how amazing all of our friends are and how many people already love our baby girl!
The details:
Sign on the mailbox
Sign on the front door welcoming all the guests
Drink station
Presents
Main food table with sandwiches, caprese salad cups, greek pinwheels, and taco dip cups
Beautiful diaper cake
Dessert table with all my faves: mini Boston cream pie cups, funfetti dip, cake pops, cake, and homemade peanut butter cups
Pink & gray bunting (there was another one hanging on the mantle) that we'll be able to hang in the nursery
