Hosting a Friends Baby Shower

Morgan's Baby Shower 
Sweet Little Girl
No 1

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon in April and the weather and location in Texas couldn't have been ever better to make this special occasion memory last a lifetime.  This shower was held after the baby was born.  Here are the details:


Morgan's Sweet's Table - consisted of a variety of candy in beautiful glass jars.  I ordered some pink and white polk a dot treat bags and customized sticker labels to attach to bags.  Just adorable!


On the glass jars, I put a simple but elegant black ribbon around the jars and attached labels on them for that extra touch!   Food card labels were created and designed by me.


The damask white frame was used to name the table 'Morgan's Sweets Table' in pink and white striped paper.


This was the cake table - cake not pictured, food cards were held up with these really pretty black and white damask card stands.



The party was held at my friends house with seating area outside and inside.  We had linen table cloths and the centerpieces consisted of one fresh flower arrangement in the center of the table with beautiful quilted candles on a rhinestone plate on each side of table.  So Classy! The white chairs were decorated with white, soft pink and black tulle wrapped on the back rest and gathered on the center with a silk flower, or a chiffon and pearl flower decoration.



The gift table was set up outside.  The table was covered in sparkly chiffon fabric.  We had another damask white frame like the one on the sweets table but with another saying printed on striped pink and white paper 'Morgan Sweet Little Girl No 1'.  Very Chanel!


We served pink champagne, pink lemonade, and water.  Most guests went for the champagne and and pink lemonade.  We used champagne flute glasses to make it look sophisticated instead of plastic champagne flutes.  This added another extra touch!



Since party was at 2 pm, we figured people had eaten lunch, so we went with cold finger foods - Chicken Sandwiches, Tuna Sandwiches, fruit salad, a cheese, grapes and crackers platter, spinach dip and Veggies & Dip.


Since we used glass champagne and lemonade glasses, we went with glass serving plates.  We decorated the fork jar with the same matching ribbon that was used throughout for decorations.  We added rhinestones to the ribbon.


The cake was simple and yet pretty.  The pink cupcakes were champagne flavor. Yummy! We also had chocolate red velvet cupcakes and both flavors were in mini size or regular size.  



We used the wrought iron dress from the baby's room to decorate and hold a black ribbon necklace with a soft pink chiffon rose that was given out to guests as they entered for 'Don't Say Baby' game played throughout the party.




We used food label cards customized for the food menu.  Cute idea - clear cups were used with a dallop of ranch dressing on the bottom and added celery, carrots, and broccoli for a special touch.




It was a beautiful day to have people sit outside.  Everything turned out beautiful, elegant and classy.  It was so much fun planning this shower for a very special friend and her new beautiful baby girl.  And remember:
