baby shower galore!

my beautiful best friend and her hubby are so blessed

to have not one but TWO additions to their family.

last saturday, amidst weeks of masterminding, planning,
working and designing, we finally pulled off her baby shower!
we put a lot of love in all aspects of her baby shower.
with mostly everything being handcrafted by both her and i.

i would like to share some photos with all of you

of the creative juices we had flowing

to pull off a 'beautifully simple' baby shower for her and her hubby

with the birds, nest & eggs theme in purple and green.

elegant diaper cake by our awesome friend nina.

mugs for our raffle draw.

delicious cake & cupcakes for all.

rather than giving out "mommy advice" cards for all the guests
we gave out "Twin Wishes" cards for them all

it's something for the twins to be able to read and appreciate
when they get a little older.

soap favors for all the guests

flower pompoms by moi and paper lanterns by the mommy-to-be

our room decor --- beautifully hanged feature for all!

of course it was time for some games

like the classic 'guess the belly size'

and we shared some great laughs with "bring me...."

had a few lucky winner with the raffle draw

and played "guess the price" of a bucketful of baby necessities 

and of course i couldn't pass up a photo

with my gorgeous bff sporting her 31 week bump

(looking more like she's full term!)

then it was time to open some gifts and play baby bingo.
