Lisa coordinated everything just flawlessly, from first sending out the invitations, to trucking-in coolers of ice and crates of stemware on the day-of! She created such a feminine and oh-so-sophisticated environment with beautiful bright and cheery flower arrangements, candles, silver, champagne glasses, and luxurious treats like tasty fruit tarts, cream puffs, and all kinds of fancy cookies.
Our gifted little chef, Danielle, made three kinds of tasty little tea sandwiches for the guests (almond chicken, lemon cucumber, and bleu cheese with walnut), and also made two scrumptious scone flavors (cranberry and chocolate chip) that were extra delicious with her sticky sweet jam! Everything was so yummy, and there was barely a morsel left-over by the end of the shower!!
Katie coordinated clever little shower games and created cute prize bags for the guests to win. Everyone guessed the circumference of my ever-growing belly, raced to drink water from an actual baby bottle, and tested their smarts with a memory-recall game of a basket stuffed full of baby goodies for Arwen! There was also a diaper-decoration-station where guests wrote hilarious notes, captions, and illustrations, to try and help make all that future diaper-changing FUN!... okay, maybe not "fun", but at least a little bit more light-hearted! ;) *hehe*It was really such a gorgeous day, and I was just so touched by all the time and effort that went into putting it together for me, let alone all the amazing girlfriends who came to attend from near and far! (Some even flying in and driving in from hours away!) It really meant so much to be flooded with such generosity and support, and I can't get over how lucky Arwen is to have so many sweet and beautiful "aunties"!
