My friend Amy is due to have her own baby girl on May 7th (just one day before my due date!) so we (Me, Freya, Kendal, and Tanya) threw a little baby shower for her yesterday. Pink is Amy's signature color, so we went with a Sugar & Spice theme.
It was so fun to let that girly girl flag fly uninhibited. Everything was pink and lacy, and all the food was tiny and sweet. Thanks for letting us throw you a party Amy! I can't wait to meet that sweet baby girl in May.
Check out more pictures of this shower in Freya's recap post here.
We served lemonade and water in dainty china teacups. I've never felt so fancy (or scared that I was going to drop my cup...).
We had a few activities for guests to complete at their leisure; they could leave a note of advice/encouragement, write their address on an envelope (to help Amy out with all those thank you notes!) and attempt to guess which age the parents-to-be were in a few adorable baby/childhood photos.

I FORGOT THE SCRUB! Curse!!!!
Such a gorgeous shower. You girls have such talent!! Excited for your shower in a couple of weeks!
You ladies did such an amazing job! I had such a wonderful time and loved all the pink!I'm pretty sure someone will pin this post to pinterest because the decorations and set up were picture perfect.
My kitchen wall never looked so empty and sad. Those pin wheels, fans, etc. were by far the best decoration. So beautiful!
