We had our baby shower last weekend and while I was looking at photos on my computer, I decided to share a few

We had it at our house, but didn't lift a finger. My best friend from junior high planned it and with the help of her moms it went off without a hitch. It was so well thought out and every detail was done with care. Everyone at the shower told her they want her to plan a party for them. And really, she should. She's wonderful. My family was all there, and almost all my closest friends were able to make it. I basically just floated around in a bubble of blessings and overwhelmed gratefulness of how loved we and our sweet little one are.

I don't have a ton of photos on this computer yet, but I'll share a few. There were tons and tons of balloons floating, with up to 7 foot ribbon hanging from them. Twas pretty magical. She also spray painted lots of things gold (like the cute little animals on the table), had lots of flowers and rented chairs and tables that matched the decor. The topper was the little (BIG) giraffe she bought us, decked out with flowers, who we have lovingly named George Henry.

We got a lot of clothes (so cute and little!) and a lot of the must haves from our registry. We still have a few larger things to buy from our registry (maybe because girl clothes are too irresistible for some people?) but overall we got a lot off of it.

It was over the top girly, so it may not be all your tastes, but hopefully you enjoy a little baby shower inspiration today!

The last photo is of the aftermath after all the balloons fell. It ended up causing a little bit of a ruckus when we were out to dinner later that night and got a call from our security system provider. We thought someone had broken into our house (how sad would that be the day of your baby shower?), but it ended up being the balloons setting off the motion detector. Lesson learned. ; )
