Baby Showers: Gift Bingo

(Printable gift bingo cards from Etsy) Baby shower games are always a little up in the air.  Should you do them?  Leave them out?  It’s really based on who is attending.  If it is a close knit group then games could get in the way of conversations.  If it’s a diverse group sometimes a game helps to keep the party...

{Real Showers} Book Themed Baby Shower, Part I

This past weekend, I helped throw a baby shower for my book-loving friend Joanne.  She and her husband love reading so much, at their wedding instead of table names they chose book titles. Because of this, I thought it would only be appropriate to throw a book-themed baby shower, encouraging guests to bring a favorite children’s book along with their...

This as far as I have gotten on my garlanding push for the baby shower this weekend.  Five pieces done, many more to go. I enjoy doing this so it’s fun for me, my family however does not love the ‘punch’ sound that comes from the circle punch at 10 o’clock at night. So if you don’t have the time...

Garlands for a baby shower

I’ve been working on decorations for a Jessi’s baby shower on Saturday.  Sometimes I latch on to an idea and then I must make it, and lots of it.  At Tanisha’s shower it was fringe and cupcake poms.  This time it’s garlands.  I love garlands and when I came across this image from a beautiful mess I was on garland overload!

But I am finally posting on Brieanne’s baby shower.  We decided on a Tea & Tales shower theme.  We held the event at Crown & Crumpet in San Francisco.  It was the perfect location, suggested by Edyta (who did Brieanne’s maternity photos — put mine...

New Year + Rose Bowl + 2 Birthdays = Party!

Now that the holiday is mostly over I get to plan for my husband and Jackson’s joint birthday party on the 2nd. Jax is on Christmas Eve and Mike is on New Year’s Eve. Since Mike’s last birthday (his 30th!!) was kind of a bust, I thought I’d try and put together a party. Mike (and Jackson) wanted a football...
