Hi, a little over 2 weekends ago I had the pleasure of hosting a baby shower for my daughter in law and son. I forgot how much goes into planning an event, though I have to admit it was loads of fun…devils in the details! Everything turned out exactly as I had envisioned.<\/p>\n

It was a typical summery day and the original \u00a0plan was to set up a seated dinner outside, but it was borderline “too hot” and my daughter in law and I agreed, everyone would be more comfortable in the ac. Thankfully, it was a bight and sunny day. So I served ros\u00e8, beverages and a few appetizers outside for about 45 min then we moved indoors. It turned out to be a perfect plan. They say when the stars are aligned, everything works out. On this day, everything worked out beautifully, the decor was so pretty, everyone was joyful and the food was so so good!<\/p>\n

Originally we were to be about 40 \u00a0but ended up at around 32 women. This was the day that the airlines were at a standstill (some of them) and affected 3 guests, though one came in as the shower was winding down…just in time for a piece of cake! And 3 were out for Covid, crazy that it’s still around. \u00a0Overall, it was a very memorable day celebrating the most exciting thing to happen to this family in a long time:) The countdown is on…..<\/p>\n

Not much narration necessary as I think the pictures speak volumes hope you enjoy-<\/p>\n
