Hi everyone!
I am so happy to be back especially after this past weekend of party planning. My dear friend Trinity is pregnant with her first baby and I had the honor of throwing her a baby shower. The weather was hot, sunny and a bit humid but the party really turned out great. I had a 24 lovely women join us for a luncheon featuring delicious food, motherly words of advice and of course lots of adorable baby gifts.
- My Back Yard, putting on the final touches before guests arrive
- Under the Tent, the gorgeous flowers came from Wollam Gardens by Like Water for Tulips
- The Invite with adorable lime green stroller
Trinity is such a stylish gal that I wanted her party to be a bit more sleek and modern, just like her. She is also not finding out the sex of the baby (boy, boy, boy) so I had to choose an ambiguous color palette. Amy, my Magnolia Lane partner-in-crime, created this amazing invite and our theme of lime, black and white took off.

We tried to add a few adorable details to make this shower more “baby”. First, Amy created cute tags for the lime green Jones Soda’s which read BABY Jones, how is that for adorable and creative? I also pulled my son’s hand made white cradle out of storage and used that as our gift “table”.
"Baby" Jones Soda

Stroller Place Cards tied to the Chairs in Lime Tulle and Polka Dot Ribbon
Menu cards tucked into the lime green napkins
Instead of favors, we planted tree's to stick with out "green" color scheme

Trinity loved her party and Baby Jones is a lucky boy or girl!
