As promised, here are snapshots from the baby shower I co-hosted for my little sister.  The color scheme was lavendar, canary and chartreuse.  As pictured above, there was a reception table for our guests to stop by and sign the framed photo register.

I made a cute little diaper cake to adorn the table and surrounded it with children’s books, a wooden rattle and a sweet pair of sandals for baby Lauryn.  The brown bag favors contained salt water taffy and assorted pieces of chocolate candy. 

On each of the guest tables was an assortment of hydrangeas, children’s books, dolls, infant dresses, and gift bags used to anchor canary helium ballons.  My favorite centerpiece was the hot air ballon which highlighted our dessert table.  The balloon basket held a happy little teddy bear {I think he loved being surrounded by those cupcakes}.

The menu consisted of spicy Jamaican favorites like really spicy jerk wings, cocktail chicken patties & cocktail beef patties.  There were also milder offerings including assorted fruits & veggies, chicken salad on croissants, tuna tea sandwiches, and tortilla roll-ups. 

Our dessert selection included strawberry and yellow cupcakes with cream cheese buttercream frosting, brownie trifles, brownie squares, buttermilk pie and pistachio baklava.

Finally, there were personalized bottles of water, sparkling fruit punch and our signature drink, Lauryn’s Lemonade.  This drink contains equal parts of lemonade and sweetened tea which is officially known as an Arnold Palmer.  We renamed it for the shower in honor of my niece’s pending arrival.  I can hardly wait to meet her!
