{cutest party favors from kristenskandybuffets.com; the theme was bow&arrow}
Last weekend Jenny and I had a dual baby brunch shower. Did y'all know? She and Rob are expecting a baby 7 weeks after Paul and me! :) ...so we decided to throw each other a baby shower. She threw it for me, I threw it for her...and our friend Mel threw in the party favors and donuts! It was actually a ton of fun planning our own shower (esp since the both of us like control)...we made the crafts, planned the seating and selected items for the menu...so we were really happy with the outcome naturally.
We decided to separate our showers between family and girlfriends. Paul & Rob's mom, Sandy, threw Jenny and I a beautiful shower in February for family. Jenny and I really wanted to host a brunch with our closest girlfriends in the city - only around 20 of us total.
Mel ordered the party favors and donuts (from Union Square Donuts) which really added to the festive feel. Since, Jenny isn't finding out the sex (which is torturing Paul) the colors were a mix bright pink, blue and teal.

Only disappointing thing about the room we reserved @ Sonsie on Newbury, was that it was in the wine room of the restaurant...in the basement...which meant no natural lighting. I tried my best to get good pictures but my wheelhouse for picture taking is of still objects with natural light. And I can't stand taking pictures with a flash. oh well....#whattayagonnadooo
{we had seen these place cards on few blogs and they were actually really easy to make}

To save the budget, I went to Trader Joe's the Friday night before and threw together the flower arrangements.

A few of the girls went in together to give the moses basket....I'm obsessed...so much so that I pranced around with it when I got home (that is...after I IMMEDIATELY switched into a t-shirt and sweats...basically all clothing is MIZ when 8 months pregnant)
