So happy you had a great day and you looked great @CopperBoom86
Married 11-11-11 TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year. BFP 02-15-16 with our first IT'S A BOY!!!
Checked back in just now specifically for that update @CopperBoom86. I'm SO happy to hear things went well! You look beautiful in that dress too! Sounds like wins all around
You guys are too sweet! Thank you for all the sweet comments! And yes, I can relax now that it's over... I only wish I could have a glass of wine while I unwind!
@copperboom86 you look beautiful! I'm so glad you had a good time and things were pretty drama free.
@nicholel16 Can I be invited to your next party? The food looks so good. I love the name sign on your gift table!
How many people attended? About 35 adults, and 9 kids
What did you wear? The blue dress everyone voted for from Motherhood
Was there a theme? Blue & White
Did it go as you expected/wanted? Share. Yea. I tried to keep expectations to a minimum since I wasn't the one planning it. The only 2 things that ended up being a frustrating, which was completely out of anyone's control so I wouldn't let myself get worked up over it, is that even though the room had AC it was SOOO hot yesterday and a lot of people in the room, the AC just didn't cut it - also whoever designed the room, put a HUGE non-moveable planters box right in the middle, so of course my in laws sit on one side and my family on the other.
Now if we ask my mother this question, she might have a different answer when it comes to the food, because ya, she discovered first had what PinFails are lol
What was your favorite part? Or least favorite part if applicable. My favourite part was seeing family that came in from out of town, followed by a close second of presents (I'm a kid - I love opening me some prezzies!). Lease favourite would be that in laws and my family ended up sitting at separate sides so I tried to mingle, but I think that's why I'm still swollen and sore today.
Any pictures you want to share? Here are the pictures on my phone, if better ones get sent my way, I'll add them. (holy moly this pictures look huge and I have no idea how to make them smaller!)
Everyone's showers look great!! Mine was yesterday thrown by my mom and sister. It was about 25 people and we had a great time; food, presents and no games, just like I wanted! This baby is so loved and spoiled already!
I am so happy that everyone is happy with their showers! All the gifts, the food, decor look great! I hope you guys got some good things that you needed and wanted for your babies!!
Baby shower was yesterday, it was HOT and the caterer messed up the food, but overall it was so much fun! It was a circus theme with around 40 ladies. We got SO MANY diapers, which is awesome! (and lots of off registry gifts, my idea of keep it gender neutral to discourage clothes didn't work out that well lol)
Awww looks like everyone had a wonderful shower yesterday!! Loving all the pictures!!

If you did games at your shower, which ones did you like best or did your attendees like best?
We did 3 games:
Don't say "baby" where if you say baby you can steal their rattle (you can use anything, clothes pins, rattles, beads), if you hear someone else say baby you get to steal theirs (all of theirs), and whoever has the most rattles by the end of the event wins.
We also had "who knows mommy best?" that had 13 questions about me people had to fill out - whoever had the most right wins.
And lastly a baby word scramble.
It seems everyone enjoyed the "don't say baby", and you could tell when someone slipped up because across the room you'd hear Oooooooo.
Out of 35 people only 7 or 8 filled out the who knows mommy best, and only 4 filled out the scramble.
Today day was our baby shower! We were so lucky to have such amazingly generous family and friends. Even despite the ridiculously hot weather, everyone had a nice time!!
