Well, everyone in my life were wonderful enough to help out, including my cousins, my brother in law (BIL) and of course, Mr. JellyBelly. So, I asked my sister before if she wanted a baby shower and she said no. She was very persistent about not wanting to have a baby shower but of course, I felt that she deserved one. So, back in November, I decided to throw her one, whether she wanted one or not. hee hee. And initially, I decided to have it on January 17th but thought that she could pop anytime after January. And I wanted to do it a little earlier but not too early. So, I chose January 10th. And then I started to plan mentally. I knew I had to get my cousins and my BIL involved.
My eldest cousin got a permanent makeup tatoo, and two weeks prior, she wrote "complaining" of how she hates her new permanent make up and for my sister to help her out. And to meet at my house since I was going to cook my famous chicken and potatoes dish. (Okay, they're not famous; I just wish they were. ha ha ha.) And my brother in law was to come up with his own "excuse" to tag along.
Over the next few weeks, I bought things here and there -- to make invitations (card stock, ribbons, envelopes, little foot print whole punch); table cover; pink cups; pink napkins; plates to put the food; cupcake stand; etc
Oh, of course, I also "shopped" at my mom's for plates, forks, spoons, etc.
And about a month prior, I sent out emails to "save the date" for the baby shower. I couldn't send out the invites yet since I didn't create it yet. And when I was done with my final, that's when I decide to create them. It took a while but it was finally completed a week later. Here's a picture before the pink card stock and a bow was put on:
Well, after I sent out the invitation, I knew there was no going back. ;) I must go through with this party!
