The mother of all baby showers was this weekend - Baby Shower Happy Hour! It was for the always fantastic Melanie Neal in her anticipated birth of Scarlett Isabelle who will make her apperance sometime in mid August. Melanie and I first met when she hired me at Bath and Body Works - A LONG TIME AGO! She's always been a party girl and famous for always getting the crowd at any bar to to a WOO WOO shot - I honestly think she made this up but, still it's fun none the less. Here's how that one works - 1) you must have a group of girls 2) you must tell the bartender what to make - I don't even know the exact recipe but it's normally
"some rhum and some vodka and some ... I don't know, I'm already drunk, give me a damn shot of something tasty...We had to go over the top
with this shower - nothing but extravagance was expected. I've hosted quite a few showers - bachelorette, wedding, baby (normally in that order) but this has to be one of the most fun baby ones in a long time to plan!
Anyway here are some great pictures!!!
In sort of an order... the pictures are - the entry table with the invitation, nametags and Melanie's Princess Crown and maternitini glass for the evening

- a close up of her glass that Cheryl painted

- out side we used large martini glasses filled with oversized silk flowers

- we filled huricanes with an abundance of silk flowers to really embellish the look

- next is the drink table and a close up of the individual glass decoration,

each had a tag to ensribe your intitials as well as a pink crystal pacifier!

-next is the food spread, it was great!

- followed by the fabulous cake

- then there is the group shot with Melanie in the middle -

then the local hostesses, Sylvia, Chris, Carrie, Cheryl, me and Lindsey -

and last but not least - Melanie doing her infamous WOO WOO shot - non-alcoholic of course.
Here's to Baby Scarlett Isabelle - you are welcomed into this world by your mom's fabulous friends! Of course, all of our children will party like we did not too long ago!

Thanks to you and Mike, I think of the turtles I see slowly making their way to the death lane.
AWESOME! I am so stealing these ideas.
