Details

Even though invitations that were sent out asked for guests to RSVP, guess how many people actually did? Five! You heard right. FIVE!! But I expected some people, ma and pa JellyBelly to come as well as sister JellyBelly and BIL JellyBelly. That's total of 11, if you count me and Mr. JellyBelly.

A few days before the party, I was one track mind. Mr. JellyBelly and I went to Costco to grab some stuff and I couldn't handle thinking about anything we needed for us. I was only focusing on the baby shower that was happening. I told Mr. JellyBelly that I can't focus on other things right now. Thank goodness for Mr. JellyBelly because he said "it's okay, I'll be in charge of our house supplies". Life Saver!

I made a few lists of things I needed to buy at Costco, Safeway, Ross, etc.. I need to buy nuts, flowers, avocadoes, tomatoes, onions, lime, celery, carrots, ranch dressing, jellybeans, balloons.....

I also had to make sure minor details were taken care of. I made cootiecatchers, origami cranes, origami hearts, and favors. Ah, I also made a board of baby announcement cards that were created by me. Also I must remember to confirm the cupcakes order!

Here are the pictures on the day of:

Favors, cranes, cootie catcher (aka fortune teller), gift cards with my attempt at calligraphy

And I also had to make sure to send out an email to all the guests and potential guests: I had to make sure to tell them that they needed to park far from our house since the last thing I wanted was for my sister to come and say "what the heck are those familiar cars doing here". I also had to remind Mr. JellyBelly to park our car on the street so that our drive way was free for the pregnant lady. =) Wasn't I thoughtful? ha ha. Oh and my email to the guests also told them to come by 1 p.m. since we were expecting the happy couple by 1:30 p.m. Well, on the day of, guess how many people showed up by 1 p.m.? You will find out soon . . .
