Sara's Shower

Last week I told you I was working on two parties. They are both over now, so I am here to tell you all about them, now that I have my sanity back. Sara's shower was for her newest addition to the family, a little boy. They already have three girls, so we decided that she needed to get some "manly" stuff for the little guy. However, the shower was anything but manly. Sara loves feminine, girlie things, flowers and chocolate. So we did our best to accommodate!

We set the tables with white tablecloths, pretty little clear plates, and a favor at every plate. We were going with a very elegant theme of blue, silver and white, which I think turned out awesome. Melissa did a great job with the favors, aren't they just beautiful?


Here's a closer look at them. Inside each box there were some truffles and Dove candies...so yummy.


In the center of the table we put a painted clay flowerpot planted with white petunias, alyssum and lamb's ear. One guest at each of the tables got to take home the flowers at the end of the night.



Sprinkled on all the tables and throughout the room were these little photo holders with cute sayings about motherhood, family and boys. The guests had fun walking around and reading all of the little sayings.



The tables were loaded up with lots of yummy goodness to dip into the chocolate from the chocolate fountain, and we also had oreo truffles. It was chocolate heaven!



We asked the guests to write down some words of wisdom on parenting, motherhood or being the mother of boys, and then gave Sara a pretty little box to keep them all in.


Speaking of the guest of honor, here she is opening some of the cards (it was a gift card shower)

She is such a sweet and loving person. We had a great time planning her party, and it went off without a hitch!
