Jamie baby shower

This weekend, I helped throw a baby shower for the first time.  Emily (thank goodness for her!) and I split the responsibilities for the shower for Jenni and Nathaniel's baby and it went pretty well.  (It was more of a meet-the-baby party or a belated 0th birthday party, since the baby had already been born.)  Aside from me being a bit too overly ambitious with the food, everything came together well.

I don't have any pictures from the actual event right now, but here are the cardboard letters I made of Jamie's name and some matching pennant banners.  These went over pretty well.

The flowers also turned out pretty well. I went with a mix of white flowers (daisies, cala lillies, tulips) from Trader Joe's in the carafes I had left from the wedding.  The arrangements looked simple and fresh.  Perfect for a baby shower with a greenish color scheme and a spring time feel.  Hope to get some pictures of these later.

And I made two Dominion cards as a baby shower expansion pack since Jenni and Nathaniel both love Dominion.  We didn't get to use it at the party, but maybe for the next game night.

I printed these suckers out, cut and glued them onto spare sets of Dominion cards that I bought online.  Turned out looking and feeling fairly legit.
