A Carter Baby-Shower for Shawntay

What a beautiful baby-shower this turned out to be! I felt so honored to assist in the planning of this special occasion to celebrate the coming arrival of a new baby girl.

Scrumptious cupcakes from Toledo's Cake in a Cup were a picturesque centerpiece at the shower. Butterfly girls escorted and welcomed guests as they entered the party.

Shawntay herself arriving to her baby shower!

Cherry Coconut and Toffee Crunch - melt-in-your-mouth = yum!

Colorful chinese lanterns decked the hall hanging from softly glowing lanterns. 

Made by a guest, these delightful cake pops were literally the BEST cake pops I have ever tried! *****!

Guest enjoyed getting sugar-buzzed on sparkling strawberry lemonade! Who can resist pink?? 

Guests played multiple games and enjoyed engaging in conversations and making new friends!

Butterflies buzzed to bring Shawntay her baby gifts - such adorable little girl clothes! 

The party had not started until Shawntay's brother arrived! Full of animation and excitement! 

What a sweet brother to such a beautiful sister. 

 Shawntay and her oldest daughter.

At the end of the party, Shawntay and her family gathered around for a balloon release - giving baby "butterfly kisses."

One hot Mama!

Get a sugar rush for this adorable Alice in Wonderland theme birthday! In my free time, I enjoy googling over cutsy ideas and found this first picture that inspired everything. I stitched together inspiration and ideas from other websites to complete a full concept for Alice in Candyland.

What is any Wonderland party without Alice?? It brings back childhood memories of visiting the Magic Kingdom and having that magical moment of being noticed. Have Alice sign autographs or do face painting to interact during the party!
