Tori's Baby Shower (Part 1)

6.11.2012

This weekend I had the pleasure
of hosting a baby shower
for my very sweet, very pregnant,
sister-in-law Tori.

Tori's dream was to have 
an old fashioned tea party,
complete with big hats, 
fine china, 
and lots of delicate details.

As part of the shower decorations,
I had posters made from her maternity photo shoot.
This gorgeous pictures is a personal favorite of mine,
and was taken by Brenna Bryce Photography.

Everyone seemed to really enjoy the posters,
and I thought they added a nice personal touch
to the baby shower decorations.
I was also really impressed
with the photo reproduction quality.
Can you believe I had these printed at Costco?

One of Tori's pregnancy cravings
has been ice cream sundaes.
I decided to skip the traditional baby shower cake,
and instead made an ice cream sundae bar
using tea cups for serving dishes.

Each tea cup contained a scoop
of either chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry ice cream
with room on top for a variety of toppings.


The collection of tea cups made for a beautiful display,
and the ice cream was perfect
on a hot summer day. 

I hope the mother-to-be had a wonderful time
at her baby shower tea party!
Personally, I can't wait to meet
 my niece or nephew!
