We have been waiting a long time to throw a baby shower for our sweet friend Beth. She is having a baby boy in early spring and I could not be more excited! I was fortunate enough to host the shower at our house! When guests arrived they made a mimosa at our mimosa bar, signed the guest book and wrote down wishes for baby b.
Our theme was "baby its cold outside" so we also had a hot cocoa bar.
This group of girls has these showers down. We all know our strengths and Emily's is definitely flower arrangements! She still impresses me every time though!
For food we had donut holes, a biscuit bar, fruit and cheese, veggie platter and mini quiches along with petit fours for dessert.
About an hour after all the guests arrived the door bell rang and Beth's sweet husband had sent her the most amazing flower arrangement and this note....
Her husband is such a fun guy with a great sense of humor so we got him a little gag gift. We purchased 6 mini bottles and attached funny "drink when" tags that said things like "hospital happy hour", "when Beth is crying more than the baby", "first blow out", and "first time you successfully 'babysit".
The two grandmothers-to-be!
Here is Beth and all the hostess.
Beth's mother in law, sister and mom!
All the girls!
One of Beth's favorite sweets is puppy chow and since the powdered sugar kind of looks like snow, we decided it would make a great take away gift! I made so much puppy chow it looked like a powdered sugar bag exploded in my kitchen, but it was so worth it to provide our guests with a meaningful treat to take home.
Now the count down is on for baby b's arrival in 11 weeks! Can't wait to meet that little guy!
