Yesterday I hosted a baby shower in honor of my good friend April. She and her husband are expecting their baby boy early next month and we cannot wait to meet him! I was thrilled to host her shower and tried my best to make it extra special for her. I coordinated the homemade invitations and the decor to go with her gorgeous green and white nursery. It was a brunch shower and the food turned out wonderfully! I will be featuring several of the recipes on the blog throughout the next few days.
The spread (minus the cake – it arrived a bit late):
The gorgeous and delicious cake! (No, I did NOT make this! My talented friend Danielle did.) It was a lemon creme cake with raspberry filling and vanilla buttercream under the fondant. AMAZING!

strawberry lemonade

Handmade invitations by moi.
Ten of these tissue pom poms hung over the dining table.
I dyed these onesies with Rit dye for a cute background during games and gifts.
Reuseable Blumeboxes filled with daisies were a great way to spruce up several surfaces.
Boxes of green and white drizzled Oreo truffles for favors.
Mommy and Andrew after it was all over – what a fun party!
