Some pictures from my baby shower by Amanda Picone Photography...

Had my shower last month and wanted to share some pictures. I actually found out about Chat Noir Tea House from a post on LIF a few years ago. I thought it looked like such a cute place and kept it in the back of my mind. Well when it was time to look into places this is the first place we checked. We had one meal there and we were sold. Everything is made in house and really tasty. I also loved the idea of doing tea service. Would be perfect for a bridal shower as well.

Guests had a choice of 5 different teas and one iced tea. Ice tea was served in these cute glasses:

Flowers for the shower were done by LA Blossom. Laurie is so creative and so fantastic to work with. She does TWOTY every year and I just love seeing what she comes up with year to year. I trust her 100% so I told her I want pink, black, crystals and pearls and to surprise me. When I walked in I was blown away by what she came up with. I loved all the different flowers, containers, votives, etc.

Cake was by Little Mrs.Cupcake. Jenny and her Mom are so sweet and talented! I showed her a picture of a cake design I loved and they created it perfectly. Cake was red velvet with chocolate chip cream cheese filling. It was delicious!

We used Pippy's Sweets for the custom invitations, menus, placecards, favor tags, bun game, etc. I absolutely adore Diana and have used her for so many LIW and personal events. She always outdoes herself! And she has the patience of a saint...lol.

Invitations. Invite was sent in a black box with pink filler. Pink ribbon enclosure on the outside as well.

Menus

Placecards

'Bun in the oven' game Diana made. Two had winner inside and the rest had the other saying:

Favor tags:

My best friend got the favors for the shower and got these adorable mini rainbow cookie cakes from Sweet Karma Bakery. Changed the rainbow cookie colors to pink to match the theme. They were super moist and yummy!

My creative friend Donna made this bingo card:

And celebrity baby game:

Got these cute holders from etsy for the Dunkin Donut gift cards they gave out as prizes:

Diaper cake from my Mom:

My friend let us borrow her gorgeous pram for the book wishing well:

Present time...

DH's diaper dude!

Glad someone in my house will be able to wear a string bikini...lol.

Me, Mom, Sister and Grandma. I was SO happy my grandma was able to make it.

Me and DH

Last but not least we used the forever fabulous Amanda Picone as the photographer. My Mom wanted to capture the party and I knew exactly who to ask. I LOVED the pics she took for TWOTY a few years ago. And Amanda could not be sweeter and easier to work with. You didn't even know she was there.

Whew glad I got that posted before the baby came!
