BÉBÉ CHÉRI - a baby shower

According to this article on Babble 'Baby Shower Etiquette (for Moms-to-Be),' I flouted the first rule by planning my own baby shower. But why not? I l-o-v-e planning parties and I am a bloody control freak who would drive the organiser of my baby shower nuts <--- Now, that would be tacky.

But of course, I didn't do it alone - where is the fun in that? Yang baked cupcakes, Diana was the (hunger) games planner and Zee who could easily appear on any street style blog was de facto photographer for the afternoon.


Hello Russell!


DIY buntings


Flowers + Ikea vases + Canvas placemats


Even kw was surprised I made these. HARHAR!


Tea party~


Food theme: Mini Me


Mini quiche lorraines and mushroom from Delifrance - tasty and pleasantly presented


Mini assorted canapés also from Delifrance - these were surprisingly polished off


Mini coconut cupcakes with baby-themed fondant made by my sister 


Don't you just love the brown polka dotted cupcake wrapper?


Mini pints of customized ice cream from Christy's cafe, Yesterdae 
Russell - vanilla ice cream with caramel and Synder's Honey Mustard ice cream. Weird but works =)


Instead of toys,  I requested for books as gifts and my guests readily bought an assortment of books for the bub. Such beautiful books! *Nerd moment*


The awesome gift display


The bub has no choice but to rock the blue + nautical + stripes look  


Too cute!


All for the bub!


My elder sister and cousin, Celia posing with their gifts


Balloons my elder sister brought =)


Awww...


All geared up for Oktoberfest


A gift for the mummy-to-be


It was incredibly sweet of auntie chiah ming who thought this would come in handy during my confinement period. I must say I don't think I will be that disciplined but this gift pack will definitely be put to good use!





Admiring er, baby girl outfits that my mum bought when we first thought I was expecting a girl


The lawyer and lawyer-to-be


*heart*

Love this photo of Diana and Zee






The luckiest boy in the world

Thank you all for your lovely comments!

Anon, the last thing I'm worried about is a lack of toys for this "first grandchild".
