Tricia's Baby Shower

We had the pleasure of planning a baby shower for Tricia, one of our past brides! So this Sunday we headed over to the beautiful Yardley Inn, where she was showered with lots of love and a ton of gifts for her little girl on board. Her family chose this chic silhouette theme with lots of light pinks. The invitations featured a silhouette of a baby bump and the rest of the stationery followed this theme. We created napkin bands with various baby items on them and placed next to them were baby shower bingo cards and an advice card for the mommy-to-be! A cute "Welcome Baby" banner hung above the gift area and the room was decorated with tissue pom poms and lovely flower centerpieces. Guests enjoyed a delicious brunch provided by the Inn and then were treated to cupcakes created by Felix's Bakery. As a favor, guests were able to grab a bag of pizzelles on their way out. It was a fantastic day and we're so happy for Tricia and Justin! We can't wait to see little baby Giuliana!

Kaleigh and Katelyn's Sweet 16

Kaleigh and Katelyn are best friends who have birthdays that are close together and when we met with them, they told us they wanted a hot pink and black party. So we created "Kaleigh and Katelyn's Sweet Shoppe" theme just for them! We started with a black petal fold invitation and the party information was next to their custom logo and backed with hot pink paper. And we included pop rocks with each one! All of the paper and signage for the party was created by Paper by Proud and followed their theme perfectly! Hot pink tableclothes provided by Select Event Rentals were topped with our black candelabras for each of the guest tables and really transformed the room. 

When party guests arrived at Salem County Sportsmen Club, they were greeted with this sign welcoming them to the sweet shoppe! A photobooth provided by Go Festive was a HUGE hit! There was always someone getting their picture taken!

There were four stations set up throughout the room: Cookies & Milk, Signature Drink Station (pink lemonade!), Candy Buffet and the Patissere Station! Here's the set up for the Cookies & Milk station. We made the pom pom's and put up fabric behind the wall to really make it pop! There were five different kinds of cookies and guests were able to enjoy chocolate and strawberry milk. Later in the night, we brought out ice cream cups and push ice cream pops! 

This was the drink station that served the signature drink of pink lemonade! There was also customized Jones soda, complete with their logo, on each side of the table. 

SO many goodies at the candy buffet station! Cotton candy, pixie sticks, strawberry puffs, tootsie rolls, candy  jewelry, hershey kisses and a ton of other sugary goodness! You name it, this candy buffet had it. We also had Ro's Rods make the prettiest pretzel/candy rods! 

The Patissere Station was made a focal point by putting a large logo in a gorgeous black frame. This table had  cupcakes and cake made by Sweetsboro Bakery and were delicious! The cake pops and cake balls were made by Erin and were a huge hit! Who doesn't like cake in bite size form? I know I do!!

Tristan from Synergetic Sounds and Lighting, up lit the entire room in hot pink and was the DJ for the night. The dance floor was packed all night long and had a few dance offs! He did a great job keeping the music selection young for the guests. 

Happy Sweet 16 Kaleigh and Katelyn! We're so happy the party was such a success and that you both had an unforgettable night!!

Shannon's Baby Shower

Erin planned Shannon's baby shower that took place in December. She went with an Up theme and took all of the great elements from the movie and brought them to life! Guests walked in the front door and were greeted with a baby prediction chart that was backed with a picture of paradise falls and banner that read Adventure Awaits! Around the corner was the candy buffet Erin had set up with custom signage and featuring her infamous cake balls. The delicious cake was made by Swiss Haus Bakery and the custom cake topper was made by Cakes by Suzy. Suzy made it look just like Shannon holding a brand new baby, her husband Steven and their dog Linus. Guests were asked to bring books to fill the custom bookshelf that looked like a house that Erin had made. It was a hit! Of course there were balloons attached to the top as a nod to the movie! Thank you to Balloons Make Me Happy for providing them. Another thank you to Joey Bleiler Photography for taking these beautiful pictures!

And here is little Evan John who arrived on January 24th, 2011!! Congratulations Shannon and Steven!!!
