Jamie's Baby Shower & Celebration at Home ... - Nicole Rene Design

Jamie's Baby Shower

I'd say the shower was a success...

I mean just look at how many gifts are on that gift table!?

They filled up a whole truckload of gifts hahaha...

The food was positively delicious!

Thanks to Momma Amanda (whose pregnant with twins)

She made cucumber pimento treats with cherry tomatoes on top

& fruit salad in waffle cones

& little hot dogs

& mini caprese salad

& neon pink deviled eggs!

And aren't those favors cute?!?!

Stacy made the Cowgirl Cookies in a jar & everyone loved them!

I designed the Wishes for Baby & put up all the decor!?

I love love loveeeed how the Wishes for Baby turned out!

They definitely turned out better than my whoopie pies...

Oh & I learned some good things while planning this so I wanted to share:

1. Don't underestimate the cost of printables.

I had no idea how much it was going to cost me to print the cupcake toppers & invitations. I spent over $150 on all of that. I wished I would have spent that money on more party decorations instead.

2. MAKE A BUDGET!!!!!!!!!

I think I thought that since this was a party for only 25 people it wouldn't be a big deal,?

but I spent way too much on little details (spray painted mason jars, printables, whoopie pie tray, etc.)?

& way too little on party decorations.

3. Don't overestimate how much food you need.

We had way too much food leftover... Bags & bags & bags of it...

Live & learn though right?!?!?
