In honor of #TBT i though I would share some pictures from my amazing baby shower back on january. I had no specific theme in mind, I just knew that i wanted it to be in a restaurant that way neither of my parents would have to worry about the mess or about cooking (Honestly best decision made!!). The colors and decorations were all gray and Aqua and I used an elephant image to tie it all together. The venue was la carreta restaurant
As the guest walked in this is the first they would see, and i attached grey, blue and clear polka dot gallons to the frame stand (made by my amazing father)
The cake was vanilla and chocolate with vanilla custard filling, just delish. The Vicky Bakkery at Hialeah Gardens was the one that made it, and i was very pleased with the result, especially since it was only 125 dollars!! The elephant cake topper I purchased at etsy and the little flags at oriental trading.
I asked the restaurant to set up two long family style tables that way friends and family could talk, I did not want anyone to feel bored.
Frames made by my father, again have i mentioned how crafty and amazing he is. For the favors I did a "yemita" a cuban sweet in the small gray box and on the bigger box a mini candle from bath and body works I used the flannel and lavender vanilla scents.
This was the favor/signing table/game hub.
The banner with both baby shower and oliver's name i made it with some scraps of fabric i had left over from one of his nursery projects.
My dress was from NY&Co from the Eva Mendez collection and I got it for a steal!!
We had an amazing time and were blessed with the company of great friends and family as well as with many gifts with little Oliver!
The guestbook, using chalk ink, safe for the kiddos and i had some wet wipes ready to go.
