Friends are the family we choose.
The whole thing was going to be a secret. That is where the "best friend" part comes into play, because best friends know what their best friends are like or what they want. We knew Nadia was going to "sniff" the planning and the anticipation of something... There was no way that we could keep her shower a secret from her!
So, we picked a date two months ago and that was when the planning began. I've only thrown a bridal shower once for Anna and I had a LOT of fun putting the all-white details together, so I knew I was in for a lot of work but, that in the end, it was going to be rewarding...
I went with "Tifanny's & Co." elements throughout and I had a vision of aqua, white and brown mixed in all the details.
I made a board for people to write well wishes, advice and love letters to baby M...
We had favors in Tiffany & Co.-looking boxes.
We decorated the place with paper lanterns and flower balls were the centerpieces of the tables... The big fluffy balls in the middle are also paper lanterns that we glued a bunch of coffee filters on. See the how-to here.
See the tutorial for the flower balls here.
These adorable matching straws I got online from Shop Sweet Lulu and the labels I made from templates found on...where else?? Pinterest.
We lucked out with perfect weather, so everything was so much more enjoyable!
Everyone seemed to have a great time.
We played games...
...and won prizes...
The Mom-to-be looked radiant as always!
We are so grateful for the lovely ladies that came to celebrate this joyous occasion with Nadia and baby M, you all made it a special day! May baby M be a healthy and happy little boy, he is going to be born into the most loving family and group of friends!
Also, many many thank you's go to everyone that helped make this happen. You know who you are.
Much love!
