Abby's Shower... It was full of LOVE!

We threw a shower for my friend Abby the Saturday before Valentine's Day. It was supposed to be the week prior but a HUGE snow storm hit that morning. We had so much fun... It was "love"ly and very girly! Abby and Aaron are having a girl in April - Riley - so the heart, pink theme was perfect.

The invitation was courtesy of my favorite etsy vendor - Amber's Announcing You. It's it beautiful. Amber, thanks again for working with me to create the perfect invitation for Abby's special day.


Decorations: I made the banners out of Valentine paper in the $1 section of Target. The puff balls have become a staple at any party in which I am part of the planning. They are super cute, easy to make and affordable.

My pink vintage Pyrex was perfect! I bought the silver desert stand at a yard sale over the summer and hadn't used it yet. I think it worked well to hold the MANY, MANY cupcakes I made.

Mom and Dad....

Opening Gifts...

Seriously, the cutest thing I've EVER seen!!! I need one! I love it! Abby's mother in law made her. She is so talented.

Abby-Thank you for letting me be part of your special day. It was a pleasure helping your mom plan your baby shower. Riley is one lucky little girl to have a Mommy and Daddy as great as you and Aaron. Enjoy every second of her newborn months - they grow fast!
