On Saturday, Paul and I along with our friends Shelly and Jeremy threw a couple's baby shower for our best friends Jess and Dustin. Jess and Dustin are having twin boys; and we all couldn't be more excited!
I jumped on the opportunity to plan a party and was super excited that Shelly was helping too because she always has cute ideas. We made a good team! We held it in our neighborhood park. I love this park; it has big beautiful trees and a huge lawn! In fact, I learned how to ride my bike there. We had perfect beautiful weather. The theme was "Two Peas in a Pod". The colors were green and brown. We served a potato bar with all the fixins'. I loved the centerpieces with a green charger, two peas in a pod salt and pepper shakers, two green votive candles, and a vase with white gerbera daisies and tulips. We had a clothesline and onesie decorating, which turned out so cute because all of Dustin's entomology friends made bug onesies. The favors were doublemint gum, and twix ("Two for me, none for you") wrapped in greed bottles with our two peas in a pod logo. Everything came in doubles; even the prizes came in twos. It's no secret that the Mommy-to-be's favorite food place right now is In-n-out. So what better prize than In-n-out gift cards!? Shelly made the cutest green and brown guessing jars full of candy and two super cute sign in photo matting for the guests to sign. My cousin Jen made the cutest cake to match the picture of the two baby boys peeking out of a pea pod that we used. Dustin made a playlist with some groovin' tunes that set the mood perfectly. Jess and Dustin received some super cute gifts as well. Overall, the shower was a success and I had a blast planning it! Now... we just wait for these two precious boys to come into this world! I can't wait to be the honorary auntie who spoils them!
