Hosted a baby shower two weekends ago for my buddy Emily. She is having baby #2, a girl this time around. So I decided to piggy-back on the Pickles and Ice Cream shower theme that both Caryn and Wendi hosted. I combined decor from the two and this is what we came up with.
Table with the giftcards, food table, pickle jars and ice cream cones with gerber daisies in them.
Ice Cream cone cookie favors and Izzys, Emily's favorite drink (and the one who got me started on them).
Mantel decor and napkin station.
Flowers, wreath with pink pacifiers and pickles, and cones.
Pickles and ice cream side of the table. We were celebrating because Emily, who delivered Chance at 28 weeks, was already 29 weeks at the shower! Praise God!
Emily had a few gifts to open. We usually do giftcards for the second baby showers, but some wanted to bring gifts as well. She got a gorgeous Christening outfit for when that sweet baby girl comes out. We don't know the name yet, so I can't wait to hear what it is.
Emily & Casey, a buddy from Tech. Emily & Jennifer, a fellow stroller fit junkie, who had baby #2 three weeks prior.
Brooke, Emily, & Jodie - all Gymboree buddies.
YMCA buddies (and most of us met at Stroller Fit): Sophie, Heather, Emily, Erin, & me. I look like I am eating Erin b/c whoever was taking the photo needed us to get closer together. I took it very literal...
6 pregos at this shower: Kim, Christy, Jenn, Emily, Jodie, & Heather.
Emily with her mom and Dirk's stepmom
The hostesses wearing one of our gifts - it's a Roundtop Christmas decor that is super cute. One guess as to who was the dork that suggested we wear them for the photo...
Since Emily never really got a proper shower (meaning before she delivered the baby) last go around, it was fun to treat this shower as her first official one. She is at 31 weeks and her body is starting to act funny again (same symptoms that caused her to deliver early last time). As a full time believer in the power of prayer, I am on my knees praying that the Lord keeps this baby in that belly for a few more weeks!
