Alli's Baby Shower

I don't know if I have mentioned this before but the majority of my good friends here in the city are pregnant and/or just had a baby. It was like they all drank from the same kool-aid and decided to have babies within a few months of each other. Lucky for me since I like to plan baby showers. Myself and my "team" of girls (who I love) threw Christa's a few weeks ago and last Saturday we threw Alli's as well.

Alli is the type of person who is not too fussed about things, I asked her a bunch of questions about what she wanted and she had very simple answers, she didn't feel inspired to have a "theme" so we just went with a color scheme that we picked up from her invitation, and she did not want to have any games. After I got the guidelines from her we kind of threw up on the table with the color scheme, like I said, I really like this kind of thing so when I get going it is hard to stop!

Our main goal was that we wanted Alli to feel fussed over and special because we love her and her unborn baby boy, I certainly hope we succeeded!

I missed taking the picture when we got the chocolate fountain going









The cheese started to get to the perfect consistency right about when people started leaving...
I was pretty bummed. 






it's boot season










I somehow missed taking a picture of the hot chocolate station, I tried my hand at making homemade marshmallows and made them egg nog flavored so you put them in the hot chocolate and they melted into the drink and made it nice and sweet.

It was loads of fun.
