Sneak Peek

I am so excited to be doing a shower for twins in a few weeks! I can't wait to see how it turns out. You know how you have something in your head and you just want to see it in real life? That's how I am right now. Don't think I haven't thought about doing a "fake" shower in my dining room just to see it. So, until I either reach full insanity and do a pretend shower or until after the shower itself, here's a peek at the invitations.





(Oh, and yes, I did a rather caveman-like job at blotting out the names and personal info. Ugh.)

When Life Gives You Lemons...

...make centerpieces. Just thought I'd share some pics from last night's dinner with friends at our house. Unfortunately, I didn't think to get a picture of the wonderful meal my husband made. So silly. It was delish.

The decor might not have matched the Indian cuisine (with traditional Indian dessert we perfected on the third batch) but it sure was summery and easy. Lemons, cylinder vases, scrapbook paper "runner", some fabric sashes on the chairs, and three bunches of lilies are all you need to recreate this look. (Okay, and some ribbon, chargers, white tablecloth, napkins, a little bit of time, a slightly obsessive attention to detail and just a hint of paprika.)

Fab Find

What? No baby shower post? I know. I am as shocked as you are. I had to take a break from our regularly scheduled programming to introduce you to another Aimee. She's the genius behind Creative Montage.



Here are a just a few reasons why you should go to her site immediately and check out all of the cute.

Cute As A Button

I know what you're thinking...

"A baby shower in pastels? It's about time."

Well, you do enough of them and surely one of them has to call for your traditional colors, right? And, when the sex of the baby isn't going to be known until the actual birth, then you get to use them all!








Kudos to guest, Katie, for wrapping her present to match the theme, and co-hostess, Julie, for baking a cake to match. Those are my kinda girls.

Okay, let's do this!

Just in case you aren't already on sugar overload, here are the rest of the pictures from The Sweetest Thing Shower for the triplets that I did last weekend.

First things first though. Since the shower was postponed due to mom being admitted to the hospital for 2 1/2 months before the birth, Triple Threat was in the house for the shower. Mom and babies are doing swell! Here's a peek at the guests of honor. Say it with me, "awwwwwwwwwwwwww."



Now, here are the rest of the pics of the party thrown for their mommy! I mean come on, SHE did all the work after all. Say it with me, "Owwwwwwwwww."









In case you've forgotten, here is the original invitation that was sent out before we postponed the shower.

Next up - Cute As A Button baby shower from this weekend. See you soon!

I'm Not Insured for Causing Cavities

Time is precious this week, so I'll give you a little bit of another taste in hopes you come back for more. Suddenly I sound like a drug dealer and not an event planner.
