Baby Showers

This weekend I had the pleasure of co-hosting a baby shower for my cousin~in~law's (Corrine) sister~in~law, Jennifer. Say that ten times fast.  

(Jennifer is not my cousin~in~law but basically she is)

While talking with Corrine one day, she was talking about having the party at her house and she didn't really know what to do but had some ideas. I told her that I'd help her and we could have it at my house since I LOVE (understatement) throwing parties, shower, wedding, and so forth, I was all for helping. Corrine and I decided that even though the baby was a boy we were going to do a Valentine's theme but keep it to the red decorations, with hints of blue. Having thrown a bridal shower a few years ago for my friend having the same basic decor so we just needed to add a few extra items to what I had. 

 Hand made invitation, red decorations, two banners, red hanging hearts, Jennifer's baby shower sign, red and white poms, candy buffet, treat table, cupcake tower, and fruit punch/ice cream punch, and games with prizes later we were ready at 2pm on Saturday the 12th of February.



Little touch of blue and green
 for the boy



Maximus is his name



We didn't send Jenn an invite so that she could be surprised with part two of my gift.

(part one was the banner)

Hand made, with ribbon, and brown paper, this is not a great picture but we sewed red around the edges and bottom to make like a pocket for the insert to slide into.

The insert, with a poem that I made.

(I love the cricut, used many times through out the shower)

The other banner I made you can see over the candy buffet table.

Who knows mommy best



Draw baby on your head





Mommy to be

GIFT TIME!



Part three of my gift, a baby for a baby shower,
and the candy and lollipops, to go with the sweet theme.
 The framed invite, too




I could not figure out where my hand towel went.
Can you find it for me?




Good haul





Part of Corrine's gift for them





Another part of Corrine's gift. This has a little story behind it. Corrine's brother bought this at a Seahawk game (the whole family are Seahawk fans) for Corrine's boy when he was a baby and she kept it all these year and passed it back.



Sunday, I finished off the weekend with another baby shower for my friend Amanda's second baby.

GREAT TIMES, GREAT MEMORIES!

Great time and great memories.
