A Baby Shower for Ashley

Two weekends ago I had the honor of hosting a baby shower at my house for my very best friend in the whole world, Ashley, along with 10 other lovely ladies. This is Ashley and Jerad's first child and we could not be more excited for the two of them! Little Miss Katherine Reese will be born in May and we all are anxiously anticipating her arrival. Ashley and Jerad have been busy preparing for their little one and it was so wonderful to get together to celebrate her upcoming arrival!

We decided on a brunch shower with a pink and grey theme based on the invitation. Like I said, there will 11 hostesses. Ashley and Katherine are two VERY loved girls! With that many hostesses, we divided up the duties and everything came together seemlessly!


I made a yarn wreath! Seen all over Pinterest, I decided to attempt this project. A tad time consuming, but easy and well worth the effort! K for Katherine!

Food table! The decorations for this party came together so well! Everyone had their part and it looked fabulous! Reagan made the super cute elephant, Kristi made the poof poms, Tiffany made the sign, and Jaqueline took care of the pretty flower arrangements. We had so much wonderful food as well!
Donut holes! My favorite!
Sour cream blueberry loaf cake - Made by my baker husband, Eric
Recipe from the Entenmann's Cook Book - so good!
These are always a hit! They are from Picky Palate.

We had a coffee station.
Pink cups and straws
Champagne flutes for the mimosa bar
Fruit kabobs made by the fabulous Ashley M.

Me with the mommy to be (Yes, I am in the same dress I wore St. Patrick's Day. If you know me this is a big deal. I used to buy a new dress for every occasion!)

Cute details! I'll have to file a few of those away for later. And the food looks amazing!
