A Baby Shower for Rebecca

A couple of weeks ago, we had a baby shower for Rebecca! Rebecca and her husband are currently in the process of adopting from Ethiopia. It's such an exciting time for them; we couldn't wait to help her celebrate her new baby boy's upcoming arrival. The invitation was our Nali Giraffe Blue.

The shower started at 10 a.m. Personally, I'm not a fan of mid-day showers. Showers that start at 2:00 in the afternoon tend to eat up the rest of the day, and make you not hungry for dinner. Since it was a morning shower, we went with a brunch menu: little quiches, fruit and coffee cake with coffee, punch, and iced tea. (If you're in the South, NEVER forget the iced tea at a shower!) Instead of cake, we opted for cupcakes. Chelsea ordered several flavors for the local cupcake lady.

Yum, baby shower cupcakes! And a quick shot of the happy and beautiful mom-to-be, Rebecca!

It was plenty of food for a morning shower!

One of my favorite touches was the the party favors. We ordered cookies from The Cookie Princess. To coordinate with the giraffe print invitation, we had the Cookie Princess make giraffe-shaped cookies, iced in white and dotted with light blue polka dots. They came tied in these cello bags with brown ribbon--the perfect baby shower party favor!

Great idea! A mid-morning baby shower! I personally have never attended one before. Coming from a mexican background, ours are always in the evenings. From my group of friends, im always the one organizing and preparing the favors and or picking the menu for the baby and bridal showers, i would like to try this idea. Love the favors and cupcakes!
