HIP HIP HOORAY! BABY SHOWER

I have several besties having babies! The first lady up is my friend Kate (due any day now – correction, the baby is here!) and a few weeks ago we had her baby shower. We kept it simple with fresh flowers, big balloons, little toy animals and vintage blocks. I managed to snap a few photos as guest were arriving, but as things got going I missed the Ice Cream Sundae Bar we had set up. It was delicious and served in cute little red and white polka dot cups with wooden spoons.

The shower was held mid afternoon so we kept the food light. Italian skewers, mozzarella skewers,
radishes with salted butter, rosemary popcorn, fruit cups and a pickle platter
Oh, and we can’t forget the mom-to-be’s favorite – skewered chicken nuggets with pickles.

For the mimosa bar we went with peach juice, pear juice and fresh grapefruit.
Raspberries and fresh mint for garnishing.
DIY wood blocks for the guests to paint as babies first blocks.

The giant red balloons were definitely my favorite part, and I want to have them around all the time.
