I decide to do my own baby shower. Ever since I planned our wedding, I fell in love with party planning! I even decided to plan an entire baby shower for my cousin Jessi! After that I couldn't wait to get pregnant to do my own shower. I love everything that goes into planning a special event from the guest list to invitations. Of course I can't do it all on my own so I had my mother, Justin's mom, aunts, and of course my Hubby help me with stuff. We went with a theme, I wanted something for a boy that wasn't the typical blue or sports theme. I did get my ideas of course from pinterest . I made a board dedicated to the baby shower. I went with the theme of Woodland Friends. After I chose the theme Justin and I went to Babies R us and Target to register. I also did a registry on Etsy. Once we got out registry done I started looking for invitations, I honestly did not want to pay $200 + for invitations, so what I did was make my own. I looked for some to maybe get an idea of what I wanted. Once I found it I started designing the invitation, but of course something always goes wrong. After I had my invitations all ready to print, we found out the places where the baby shower was taking place did not get reserved. So I had to make brand new invitations with another date. That was probably the most stressful part of the baby shower! I cried my eyes out, I was going to just cancel everything! My husband came to my rescue he fixed everything, reserved the place and everything was good for the baby shower. I don't know what I would've done if Justin didn't fix that problem.
After all the invitations were done I waited four weeks to print them out. Just because I didn't want the same thing happening. We finally passed them out to our family and friends, some were mailed. I did some DIYS for baby shower, like our center pieces, and some decorations.
We got a lot of help from family! I'm so thankful for our families!
The cupcakes were made by Nina Ticha, and of course they were delicious!
In the back you can see one of the center pieces my mom and I made.

We used Jared's crib to put presents in.
We made a geofilter for snapchat, decided to make a sign so our guest could use it.
