Welcome to the world, Baby!
Well, not just yet...but soon.
Nel's baby girl will be here before we know it!
Her sister-in-law and I worked together to plan a very special baby shower with a wordly theme.
Nel's in-laws designed the beautiful centerpieces and the hot air balloons. I hand sewed these clouds using felt and cotton.
I found these adorable board books on Amazon (under the vase) that are based on literature classics. It was perfectly fitting since Nel has a background in literature and teaches English.
A taco truck catered the event, and the "Momosa" bar was a fun touch for the guests.
The dessert table featured delicious sweets from around the world.
Guests wrote clever notes on diapers for the new parents to read in the wee hours of the night.
Nel's sister-in-law even reserved a caricature artist. It was a hit! Here is my family's caricature drawing. It was a co-ed shower so my husband joined us, and of course Francesca was there to celebrate her future best friend ;-)
Nel had a fabulous time celebrating with friends and family and preparing for the little one. I know she will be an amazing mother, and I can't wait to share this complex journey of motherhood with her.
