Scenes from a Baby Shower
A couple weeks ago I attended the most charming Baby Shower, and have been meaning to share some highlights with you here. I frequently write about ideas, tips, and products for parties, but the most fun (and helpful) things I get to feature here are parties that happen in real life.
We were invited for an “Afternoon Tea” – the perfect type of party to give if you want to go the no-booze route. The party was given by a sweet group of girlfriends of the mommy-to-be. It was held at the home of Nancy, who is oh-so-adorable and runs this cute little shop in the small town where they all live. (Definitely check out Lavish if you ever find yourself in Thomasville, GA.)
In the meantime, here are some pics I snapped at the shower, along with some steal-worthy ideas for the next shower you host…
Go-To Baby Gift
One of my all time favorite gifts for a new baby is the “Boogaloo” Doll by Bla Bla Kids. Aside from the absurdly cute name, I love giving Boogaloos because they’re the softest, most whimsical, lovable little knitted creatures – and not only does the mother usually love them, but the baby does too! I think it has to do with how cozy/soft/squishy they are, but the little munchkins just won’t let the Boogaloos out of their tiny grasps.
Preggatinis: Mixology for the Mom-to-Be
My pregnant friend forwarded me a caipirinha recipe the other day along with a note that said, “Oh man, if I wasn’t pregnant… These look so good! I guess I miss a nice drink more than I thought.”
Well, fortunately for her – and the other millions of pregnant woman out there – there’s a great book out by Natalie Bovis-Nelsen called Preggatinis that’s full of creative, “lip-smacking, liquorless libations” designed especially for moms-to-be, and they sure look just as pretty as the real thing!
