Baby Shower

Friday night my sister in law, Polly, and I gave a couples baby shower for my other sister and brother in law, Jeff and Natalie. Whew- Friday was a busy day! I think it all came off okay. We had a good turn out with over 30 people there! Here are some pictures of the set up and around Jeff and Natalie's house.
Outside on the patio
Cupcakes! I made all of them. My friend, Becky, came over Thursday night and helped me ice all of them! Thanks BECKY!!! Half were vanilla and the other half was Black Bottomed Cupcakes from Magnolia's Bakery.
Prediction cards I printed up for the guests to fill out. Such a great item to keep for the baby book!
Jeff and Natalie opening presents

The mother to be

Their tennis coach brought this present for them! TOO Cute!

Looking at the back of the house from across the pool. To the left they are having a room added on for the nursery and then turn it into a study!
The Chinese lanterns were from Luna Bazaar. Lots to choose from and every color in the book!

The diaper cake! I loved this from the moment I saw it on Etsy. I actually waited too long and someone else bought it. I had to ask her to make me one. She was great to work with!!! Jkalea is the best!!!
Favor boxes filled with fortune cookies with personalized fortunes. Thanks Allison for helping with them!!! The boxes and stickers were from Micheal's and the cookies were E-Fortune Cookie (they were great to work with). I chose...
Jeff and Natalie's baby girl is on the way, thanks for helping prepare for the big day!
Natalie's almost due and Jeff doesn't have a clue.
Baby: the tiniest thing you'll ever decide to put your whole life into.
Thanks for coming to our baby shower. Natalie and Jeff

The food table. I got it catered from two local places- California Ciccio's and I don't remember the other one- sorry. The boxes used in my decorating were from BlumeBox.
