Baby Shower Part I

By Lauren

Last week I was honored by the ladies of my family and my girl friends at a beautiful baby shower celebrating the arrival of Baby B. Since I'm having a girl it was even more special to have all the women in my life come together and fete the birth of another girl. That's girl power I tell you!

The pink, black and white theme that I chose was fleshed out by my fabulously creative friend Katie Vitale, who runs events for Alice + Olivia. The huge pink balloons balanced with the black and white table clothes and candy,was a great way to use pink but not be too girly. 

Baby pictures of myself and my husband turned into personalized confetti at photofetti.com decorated all the tables.

The activity of the evening was a onesie making station where the ladies could iron on pre-made appliques from the Etsy seller LuluBelleBabyDesigns, and add a little note using letters or fabric pens. They turned out so great, I can't wait to dress Baby B in all the adorable creations. 

By the end of the night, everyone had pinned up their custom designed onesies on a clothing line and it was just adorable. Baby B is so loved and she isn't even here yet!

All in all this was a serious DIY baby shower done in the communal room of my parent's apartment building. It goes to show you with a little TLC anything is possible! Check back on Thursday to see what I wore on this special day! Of course there is pink in it for my little girl! 

A big thank you to everyone who came and celebrated this special day with me.
