All of us in our Garden party attire- complete with big hats (or big flowers:))
The dessert table... trifle, apple pies, cherry pies, truffles, fruit salsa with cinnamin chips, cupcakes, red velvet cake, chocolate coated pretzels, nuts and lemon cookies...
Loved how our decorations came together. A good mix of sophisticated (POMS) and baby (onesies).
We asked the guests to help fill Jackson's bookshelf. Ry and Crystal are big time readers... and when I found the quote framed above- it all made sense!
Absolutely hilarious book given the the parents... fantastic. Not appropriate for kids but absolutely appropriate for a good giggle!
Our preggos in attendance in order of due date. Bethany (in yellow) is due in 2 weeks with sweet baby boy Silas...
The favors were cute glass vases with flowers... Part of the gifts to the parents were these cute little "My wish for baby" cards that everyone filled out. Then I bought a wood box to put them in and had Hais decorate the box for Jackson... it is special cause Ry & Crystal are Hais godparents. So- she thinks Jackson will be her cosin (her spelling on the box- lol)...
We also had everyone use their fingerprints dipped in paint to make leaves on a tree on a canvas... to hang in J's room too!
It all came together famously! I had lots of help... from bakers to decorators... We also had to coordinate some last minute baby sitters when a few of our hubbies were sent on a mission to Kosovo last week... lol.
So happy it came together how I wanted it to! I do wish I would have had a slice of Meghans red velvet cake though...cause the small bite I had was fantastic!
