Blue & Brown Baby Shower for Henry Parker!

Today I hosted a baby shower for one of my friends and ADPi sisters, Erin. Erin is due with a little boy in March and I am so excited for her and her husband Casey! When I was a freshman I went on spring break to Naples, Florida with Erin and several other Pi sisters. Erin had just gotten engaged and she lost her engagement ring in the SAND! FOUR days later, after much heartbreak and with the help of an old man and his metal detector, she FOUND her ring! We all knew that Erin and Casey were 100% meant to be! AND now they are soon-to-be....Casey and Erin Plus One!

Here are a few pics from our fun day celebrating the upcoming arrival of Henry Parker. We had a blue and brown theme and it was perfect because it matched my home decor! Enjoy!

The mantle decorated with a banner and blocks!



The front door hanger.


The invite minus our address so if any creepers read this they can't find us!



The entry way table. The guestbook was actually a notebook with a poem on the inside cover that instructed guests to write their words of advice and encouragement for the parents-to-be!



This was before guests arrived, so my gift is the only one on the gift table. I loved the poms!



The cake!


How cute was this cake?


A view of the cake table.


The diaper cake.


An adorable wall hanger made by one of my favorites...my flip flopz.


The yellow tulips were the prizes for the two winners of our games.


The beautiful mommy-to-be!


Erin with her grandmother (on the left) and her mom (on the right).


The hostesses with the guest of honor! From left to right: Me, Tammy, Erin and Mamma Suz.
If you notice the television screen... I made a video slideshow of Casey and Erin and of Henry's ultrasound pictures.


The food table.


Another shot of the food and cake table.


All those pregnancy hormones make Erin tear up when their is a tender moment in the room!


All of the gifts! We had around 25-30 guests show up to celebrate. She was showered with love!


Three of my beautiful sorority sisters. The one on the far left you may recognize from here.

A special gift with Henry's name.


The favors.


Organic soaps for everyone!


A final shot of the hostesses with Erin. Notice what we were watching on T.V. Oh yeah! Kentucky is now #1!!! Just had to throw that in there. ;)

Such a beautiful pregnant lady!

Erin's belly PLUS one. =)
