It's amazing what gets accomplished when you don't have "too many cooks in the kitchen". Chick's mom was amazing. She did all of the food prep and even let us use her beautiful home to throw this special Tea Themed Baby shower for Chick and her new little addition.
Our Photography was done by the lovely Jessica at Aish; Photography!
We'll start with the invite I designed. This was new for me because I usually do shapes with wording on the back. This time, however, I decided to do something resembling the floral we were incorporating in the shower.
This is the Banner I designed for her. I haven't done a name banner in quite some time for a party I have thrown. It took me a while to get all of the symbols down because I wasn't going off of a theme really.
I saw somewhere that mom's were wearing "mums" and of course I'm not a fan of the buttons you get at Party City, so I had to design my own. The big sister had a matching small one as well!
Here are all of the menus and other signs along with the diaper cake I did. You guys - Diaper Cakes are EASY like this. It's NOT hard. We always do blessing tags (those were in the shape of tea cups this time). Another thing we did was take donations for meals. Instead of setting up a meal train (because baby was due on Christmas), we took donations to meal prep from Wild Tree. You pay for a box of seasonings with the grocery shopping list and prep instructions. When the box comes, you can divide up the meals from 10 to 20 (if there's less than 4 people eating) and it is awesome!
The top of this photo has the different kinds of teas we served. They were delicious and we got them at The Chestnut Tree in Denton. Chick Pea's mom did this tower of flowers with the tea cups and plates along with making most all of the food. Isn't her house gorgeous! It was the perfect setting for a tea. The cabinet and all of the china were hers.
Desserts are always my favorite! This stand of special treats is a mix of Sweet Promise Chocolates (by Michelle); the macaroons are from The Chestnut Tree; and the chocolate cups were made with chocolate ganache in them. There were also chocolate shaped spoons (to match the theme) and some fruit bowls with whipped topping inside of a chocolate edible bowl. The chocolates that say "It's a Girl" were a big hit for the kids! The teapot shaped cake pops (also pink rounds dipped in sugar to make them a little sparkly) along with the petit fours were from NV Cupcakes. They always make me happy. The cakes were DELICIOUS!
Last, I would like to show off my beautiful friend. She is the reason I did this whole shower and I cannot imagine my life without her. She is absolutely the best. Thank you for allowing me to talk you into letting me do this for you. Love you!
