this week i had the pleasure of hosting a shower for two friends and their new babies.
one of my friends had moved away and was in town visiting family.
the shower would be the perfect opportunity for her to get to see many of her friends and introduce them to the newest member of their family.
knowing that people would want time to visit and catch up, i set up the shower to be a drop in/open house event.
there would be no:
games
fancy food or drinks
order to the party
as i was trying to decide on a theme i wanted something where the food and drinks could be set out for the duration of the party and i wanted something easy.
it fit my criteria perfectly simple and easy.
the set up:
the food:
left: scotcheroos and white chocolate bars
middle: chocolate chip cookies
right: whoopie pies
left: chocolate dipped oreos
right: oatmeal white chocolate chip cookies
the decorations:
small bottles which held drinks {1% milk, 2% milk, mocha frappucino, a coffee/vanilla mix frappucino}
sign over the table made with the cricuit that said got cookies
vintage soda crate with empty frappucino bottles
a can that looked like an old milk can to hold the balloons
a very easy and fun shower to host!
the only negative.... the extra cookies that i need to get out of my house before i eat them all :o)
