We took a fun road trip this weekend to Atlanta to celebrate our best friends and their baby girl, Emmeline Blake, who is due the beginning of June. We left before rush hour on Thursday and both Ava and Britt did great traveling to and from Atlanta, thank the Lord! Friday Travis went to the Masters for the first time which he called a once in a lifetime experience. The weather could not have been nicer and besides the beautiful course he enjoyed several pimento and cheese sandwiches and shopping at the pro shop. There were three boys that went and one of the wives, Holly, came in with her two kids and also stayed at the house with us. It was great because the kids were so close in age and gave Ava a playmate on Friday and Saturday. Holly also just had a baby boy who is five days younger than Britt so we had our hands full.
How sweet are these precious children!
On Saturday I helped to co-host the baby shower and I love how all of the planning came together. Everyone contributed something different to the shower and all of the details were so great and really made this shower special for baby Emme and her beautiful mommy! We went with an animal theme and used peach, light pink, white, and gold as our color pallet.
Holly had this iron sign made at her store with Emme's initials.
For a guest book we had each guest sign the inside of a Golden Book. I think everyone grew up reading these and I tried to pick out classic Golden Books. I hope the Emme enjoys reading them as much as we did growing up.
We had a mimosa bar and served the momma to be sparkling cider.
Kaitlin and Lisa did a great job recreating this Pinterest idea. Peanuts were spray painted gold and placed inside a pink crate to hold popcorn in cones with stickers on them that matched the invitations.
I loved how the burlap with the pink giraffe table runner complimented our theme.
Of course we had lots of yummy food...
I worked on making these tiny monogrammed banners to place in the baby bundt cakes which are a favorite of the mommy to be!
After looking at a hundred buntings on Etsy, I fell in love with this fabric name banner and loved the quality of it.
My favorite detail of the party had to be the spray painted animals. Kaitlin took a container of plastic animals from Walmart and spray painted them gold to give them more of a chic look. She even cut slits in some of them to use as place card holders, so creative.
For favors Lisa hand made gold bracelets with a giraffe charm on them, this was such a special gift to give each guest to remind them of baby Emme.
As a thank you the mommy to be gave all of the hostesses aprons from Anthropologie along with matching dish gloves. She did such a great job matching each apron to our style and it was such a fun gift idea.
What a great day celebrating Becca and baby Emme!
