A few months ago I had the pleasure of helping to host a baby shower for one of my dearest friends. The theme of the fete was “feather-her-nest” and planning the event was so much fun! Being that the mother-to-be has such discerning taste, the pressure was definitely on us to basically “Bring It!” With the help of some of the mother- to- be friend’s we pulled off some really nice details. Super cute boxed invitations were designed by Petite-Fete to drum up excitement for the enchanted event. Each box housed an invitation, an eggling, excelsior and feathers of course. What is an eggling you ask? Well naturally it is a an egg that sprouts flowers when cracked, seeded, and watered. The idea was that the guests would also be expecting a little surprise well after the baby shower was over.
The actual event was held at the Redwood Restaurant in Besthesda, Maryland and created a perfect backdrop for our theme. Details included – Menus printed on fabric linen napkins by Petite-Fete, delicious cupcakes by Georgetown Cupcakes but beautifully assembled in tiered fashion by the fabulous Mika of A Cupcake Heaven, a Manzanita tree where guests pinned on suggestions of possible baby names, lovely hydrangeas sprouting baby blue feathers, and little glass cloches protecting baby nests dotted the tables. Guests took home mini ballotines of chocolate chips cookies baked fresh by One Girl Cookies in Brooklyn, New York especially for this event. We all had a super good time and it was so much fun to mingle with all of the mother- to- be friends and family. All is all in was a super chic event!
