Baby Bird Shower

I hosted a shower for my friend Miriam last Saturday. I had a lot of fun planning and getting everything, even though it was pretty busy getting everything ready in time. I definitely couldn't have done it without Sheldon. I think it turned out pretty cute, I wish I could have done more stuff, but unfortunately budgets always get in the way. I got all the paper I used for the invitations from Pebbles in my Pocket and it was all 50% off so pretty cheap. I blurred out information on the invitation, so that is why it kind of looks funny.

I tried to keep the food matching the color scheme of red and blue, although you can't really tell.

Chicken Salad Sandwiches.

Spinach Raspberry Salad that turned out excellent! I got the recipe from my Lion House Entertaining book and it was so good I made it again for dinner on Sunday.

My favorite part of the shower, Nesting Bird Cupcakes! I made these Pollyanna Cupcakes and used toasted coconut for the nests. I think they turned out cute and they tasted pretty good as well. The idea of course came from Martha Stewart

This centerpiece is pretty simple, but I thought looked kind of cute. I got all the vases from DI and the branches from our yard. I know I'm cheap, but fresh flowers are just so expensive. I wish we had a farmers market here like in California where you can get flowers for super cheap.

Although this isn't the best picture, I made some banners to decorate out of paper from the scrapbook store.

As favors I gave out Mini Cadbury eggs (my favorite easter treat).

It was such a fun party and so fun to see friends that I don't get to see very often. Thanks for coming everyone!
