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.

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

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.

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!
