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!

Rethink Balloons at the Wedding

 

I'll admit, my first impression of balloons mingling at weddings wasn't highly thought of, but when Martha Stewart's balloon issue first came out - I couldn't resist squealing, 

"Oh my gosh - how cuuuute!" 

Perhaps it's the colors or the bit of cheerfulness and fun they bring, either way I am officially infatuated with this whimsical idea! These balloons are simply delightful...

Picturesque! This idea was found in Martha Stewart's wedding magazine.

Don't you just crave for more?! I am delighted that balloons have been reinvented in such a way so they can join the elegance of a wedding celebration. I look forward to seeing these at future events! ~
