Marci's Baby Shower

 My friend Marci is having a baby, and we couldn't be any more happy for her.  Marci is going to be a great mom, she is a natural with kids. My boys adore her!

 Today I hosted a baby shower for Marci, and I was thrilled that so many  of her friends were able to attend and shower her with such lovely gifts.

Welcome baby Robson

I decided on the theme "In Full Bloom", from hostess with the mostess.  I loved the colours and the flowers and the chic feeling of it all.  You can see it here:

I just love the idea of using mason jars for drinks and adding coloured sugar to make them match the theme.

Potted flowers

I made this cute banner out of matching coloured scrap book paper and had a frame welcoming baby Robson.

veggie baguette sandwiches and snickers dip

On the menu were the following items:

Parchment wrapped veggie baguettes

Veggie baguettes made with ranch dressing, havarti cheese, cucumbers and peppers in a baguette wrapped with parchment paper.

 Won Ton Caesar Salad Cups

These little won ton cups are an appealing way to serve caesar salad.  Put won ton wrappers in a muffin tin, spread olive oil and sprinkle with basil and Parmesan and bake for 7 minutes.  A cute way to create an individual size salad.

Smelling Delicious Dirty Diapers

Marci is trying to figure out which chocolate bar is inside this diaper during the game "Delicious Dirty Diapers".

Marci at the Wishing Tree

Honey and Krissy are making baby a headband.  On the wishing tree, the guests were invited to make a headband for the baby and to write a special note on pre-made little cards.  I loved this idea.  The headbands turned out really cute and everyone left a note for Marci and her baby.  Even some ideas for boys names!
