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!

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

Love this photo of Diana and Zee

The luckiest boy in the world
