Event Planning: a friend's baby shower ~ 藍黃綠主題淋浴禮

Frogs and snails, and puppy-dogs' tails, that's what little boys are made of. Well, not exactly, at least I didn't incorporate any of that when planning a dear friend's baby shower =)

I was really excited about the baby shower so I have been planning months ahead. I want to stay away from the all blue theme and stick to something more colorful so you see the sunny yellow and grass green. I vision something more sophisticated yet incorporating some baby elements so that was when the wooden blocks, pinwheels, and train motif came in. Though the idea was communicated to the mom-to-be but I left out quite a few details so that I won’t take the surprise away from her.






I would say this is the easiest party I planned so far because usually I have to do all the crafts by myself but since Mei was my co-host, and one of the sisters who run this place, I don’t have to sweat over it. As for the food, nothing too fancy – several varieties of take-and-bake pastry bites from Trader Joe’s, and lasagna and salad from Costco. I only had to whip up the desserts and cake. Didn’t I say it was easy ;)

阿Vi不是說過我在忙著籌辦朋友的baby shower嗎？好啦，終於忙完了，現在來跟大家分享一下。為了這個派對主題、菜單、擺飾等，我可是想了好久了。有別於以寶寶及粉色係為題的，我想呈現較雅緻的，富趣味性，但又保留童真的不一樣的shower。力求別出心裁就是了！

這個baby shower做起來很輕鬆，因為這次和我co-host的還有Mei，就是Mints的老闆娘之一。手工的玩意兒就和她分工合作的。至於食物嘛，甜品糕點屬我負責，但是小點、義大利千層麵、沙拉我是往Trader Joe's和Costco搬;-p

準媽媽很滿意，聽她說寶寶也很喜歡，因為他當天在媽媽肚子裡不停的動。 。 。呵呵。 。 。
