Co-Ed Shower...Thanks to my Girl Michele!!!

Michele thought it would be fun to have some kind of shower. At first I thought we could just invite all the girls to my mom's house or my mother in law's but looking at my list of friends I realized that would be too much. She suggested a co-ed shower which actually sounded like a great idea and Dennis loved it too. That way all of our friends could come over and hang out before the baby arrives. She took action and got the ball rolling! She ordered adorable invites and mailed them out. She would email me all these fun ideas for the candy table and I was seriously totally excited. A few weeks out she ordered a ton of candy for the candy bar...all pink and white. A week before she drove to her sisters to get some decor stuff and then made a trip party city for the paper goods and bowls. The cake she ordered from cupcake couture was to die for and even ordered some cute balloons to brighten up the house. The week of the shower she had a crazy schedule but still managed to pick up a ton of apps the night before.

Dennis had been working to clean up the house by painting all the doors downstairs and did other little projects. I wanted to order the sandwiches and make the salads for the shower as we have over 30 people coming and Michele had already done so so much!

After days of cleaning and even taking Friday off to grocery shop and prepare...the shower morning arrived. I got up super early to start making salads. I managed to get a blow dry then rushed back to finish up. Michele and john came over and while D and John picked up the cake, sandwiches and balloons Michele scrambled to decorate the house. It ended up looking so awesome! I loved it! By 1pm we were ready for our guests.

I loved the Candy Table!!! Michele hand picked everything on it.



The cake Michele ordered was so beautiful and delicious!!!



I loved the poms, balloons, and of course the MJP that my sis made.

We had a great turnout! It was so so fun just chatting with everyone. Everyone was so sweet to bring Dennis and I such nice things for the baby. I enjoyed the day so much and I know Dennis did as well! It had been so long since we all got together. We are growing up so there was no bar hoping after...hahaha. Times have truly changed. We are so blessed to have such wonderful friends and family. My sis in law Michele is a jewel! She did so much to prepare and them worked through the whole party. Serving cake, helping with gifts and then cleaning up everything after. I honestly could not thank her enough for such a beautiful day. I'm so excited for my little girl to meet everyone.


Next Shower...April 15th in Murrieta.
