Our dear friends Rachel & Jon are expecting their first baby in March. There would be NO way that her Oakland family would NOT be throwing her a shower to celebrate their new addition. Since I had never taken on this feat before {let alone planning ANY party}, I thought...who better than me to volunteer? My friends Courtney & Kennan jumped in to help me. Thank the LORD for these ladies. Courtney provided the fabulously lit apartment for the space & did the food and Kennan put together the games. I pretty much handled everything else. It was such a fun experience. I genuinely enjoyed every part of planning this shower.
It's a BOY: Naturally, the theme had to be Mustache Bash.
Wet your whiskers with orange mango pineapple punch, sparkling cider, champs, or a mix of all three.
Courtney's homemade spinach bacon quiches with graham cracker crusts, chocolate & vanilla cupcakes topped with fresh fruits, turkey & roast beef sandwich rolls, piggies in a blanket, spiced pineapple {one of the things Rachel said she has been craving}
Close up of the adorable pigs in a blanket.
Can't be a Mustache Bash Shower without mustache props for the guests and game prizes {inside vellum envelopes I decorated with hand cut mustaches with ribbon bow ties}.
Details...antique chic candles, turquoise straws, ribbons.
The diaper cake I made for Rachel. There are four packs of newborn diapers rolled in there!
The fabulous dessert table, cookies {melted caramel chocolate, spiced cinnamon, and white chocolate macadamia nut} by Courtney and pumpkin bars by our lovely Sarah.
Cheese & crackers by Courtney. Other food not shown is Courtney's famous buffalo chicken dip & hand-rolled crock pot meatballs! She is AMAZING!
Baby Price is Right by Kennan.
Guess the Diaper Surprise by Kennan.
I made white and milk chocolate mustache pops for favors.
The sign is read "Before you 'mustache' {must dash} Please Take One...it's kinda fun once you get it. Ha.
Our Guests...featuring:
Mama L. & Baby L.
Mama L. & Papa L.
{Since our Oakland family is small & close, we decided a co-ed celebration would be more fun.}
Mama L. & Remi L.
