My dear friends
Shannon and Jerry are expecting their first baby next month and when they told
me last fall that they were pregnant I just knew I had to throw them a baby
shower. Little did I know that I would be in the middle of a move but lucky for
me they are the sweetest, most chill couple ever so they didn’t mind at all
that our house was a bit of a storage unit. Since most of our décor had been
boxed up I decided to festive the place up with some disposable decorations
that went with our theme. I made a couple of Mexican flag style table clothes,
the star centerpiece I previously posted about and then my dear friend Holly
(my co-host) also made some super cute confetti streamer flags. We tried to get
a variety of colors in our decorations to make sure the party was both festive
and gender neutral for their surprise baby!

We kept things simple
for food as well, serving up a MYO taco bar with chicken and pork options as
well as a host of other fiesta favorites including JJ’s famous taco dip, Susan’s
awesome taquitos and a series of other dips and sides. To wash it down we
served virgin pomegranate margaritas, sangria and coronas which were a hit with
the men.

One of my favorite elements of the shower was the copy of Its a Small World that we placed on a table with the desserts for guests to leave messages to the new baby. Hopefully one day he/she will read it and know just how much he/she is loved. I know it is a bit late but I thought I would post a couple of pictures of our cute décor so that you can think up some ideas for your next big fiesta!
