In
less than 3 weeks I'm going to have my own baby shower, yes I'm
organising it myself! I thought it would be easier to be in control
of all things, such as food preparations, decorations and
entertainment if I rely only on myself (I had few let downs in the
fast from family members).
As
a baby shower is not a traditional English even I decided to keep it
that way- I'm not planning to have a party just for girls, we invited
couples, as I would like it to be as a “get together” day with
some possible activities throughout the day.
Our
baby shower invitations were kindly provided by Zazzle, a website
where you can find almost anything and not just buy items you see on
their website but personalise them as well.

I
have spent few hours just browsing the website as I couldn't pick 1
design, I had tabs opened with few variations of the card we picked,
a card with a very cute things hanging on a laundry line and Vintage
Alice in Wonderland card, in the end we picked this (I just love it,
this little girl is so cute):
Cards
were delivered within a week and a half (according to website it
could be 5-12 business days). I am very happy with the quality of
cards as well as picture, font and colours look exactly as on a
website.
I
am also making my own bunting (wall decorations) with a small help of
Google, thankfully I had some bits and pieces left from our wedding,
such as favour bags and ribbons and I'm planning to use it all for
wall and table decorations.
Entertainment
part I would like to keep as a secret for now, but hope it will fit
well.
I'm
so nervous for some reason, just want it all to look well and be
organised, still have to think about our menu and table decorations.
Any
suggestion as to what else I can do and plan for the day?
