Last Saturday I got real busy putting things together for a friend's baby shower. I completely took over her kitchen with all the cooking and baking. The menu included sandwiches made from South African steamed bread (shaped in little flowers), bruschettas, shrimp, cupcakes, a pink velvet cake, pink lemonade, strawberry jelly/jello, lots of pink sweets/candy and a fruit platter. We even had popcorn in mini popcorn packaging as party favors signed "ready to pop". Our husbands thought everything was slightly overboard and so they decided to draw the line when I wanted to buy white and pink roses so I could use the petals as decoration.
Man, I really wanted those roses! There's always a next time. If anyone would like me to plan their baby shower, let me know because I really want to explore that rose theme. And that's only if you're having a girl, I'm currently obsessed with baby girl stuff.
All in all, the party was short and sweet, perfect for an afternoon hangout. The food tasted good (or so I'm told) and the company was fantastic. We played the 'think like mommy' game, which is great because it brings the attention to the special pregnant lady. There was also a raffle and prizes.
Now I want a baby just so there can be another baby shower. Well, what else am I supposed to do with the sweets and decorations in my cabinet?
