A Baby Shower

On Saturday a friend and I gave our good friends,

Susanna, Kym and their son a baby shower at our house.

The theme of the party was "monkeys" so I made invitations in the shape of a bib and put monkeys on it.

I put monkeys on the decorations




and the take out boxes that I purchased from a party store. Each box was filled with little Snicker bars which is one of Susanna's favorite kind of chocolate.

Here is a close up picture of the favors.

The only decoration that I did not put a monkey on was the banner.

We asked the guests to write a special message to the couple that is having a baby along with filling out a questionaire about which parent the baby will take after with different traits.

Before lunch was served, the guests were asked to write the baby a special birthday note for each of her birthdays until she is 21 years old. Basically one note per birthday was written to the baby. This activity was done per request of my friend that is having the baby. I decorated stationery for the guests to write a special message on.


Here is the food that we enjoyed


along with the cute cake.

After lunch we played 2 games. The winners each received a container of popcorn and a giftcard from Paneras. The party ended with the parents to be opening gifts.

It was lots of fun having the party for Susanna and Kym. May the Lord continue to watch over them as they continue to prepare for the birth of their new bundle of joy next month. May He also give them wisdom and strength to raise the baby as well as her older brother.
