I threw my best friend a baby shower last weekend and I wanted to share some of the details with you.
I started planning in November, and began with designing an invite. Since Sarah is having a boy, and loves grey, I chose the colour scheme of grey and turquoise. From there I kept the theme cohesive by using the polka dots and the picture of the stylish, pregnant stick woman--a perfect emulation of Sarah.
I wanted everything to look very Pinterest, as Sarah had pinned and mentioned several things she liked in conversation of the course of several months. As she is very creative--hello weekly chalkboard preggo pics--I wanted to do her proud and really focus on small details that make a big impact.
I'd love to share some photos with you if you'd like to see...
Since Sarah doesn't like cake, I special ordered 24 mini pies from Life of Pie in Ottawa in her favourites: strawberry-rhubarb, blueberry & pecan. I displayed them on a cake stand and stuck in little toothpick decorations I made.
More pictures after the jump…

My good work friend having a baby. Her friend threw her a baby shower. She invited me. I went. So did many other women. She's having a girl. We played games. We ate a lot of (yummy) food. She opened many gifts. And we all celebrated. Congrats Lala!

On Saturday I went to a baby shower for a friend (also my friend's sister) which was fabulous. She is due in two months and is glowing. The shower was fantastic complete with great people and amazing food. She knows she's having a boy, but is keeping the name under wraps until he is born. We are all so curious as to what it will be, but, I guess we will have to wait!
