We were blessed with a beautiful baby shower for baby A. Our family took the reins in organizing and designing a wonderful baby animal themed, COVID safe, baby shower. I can’t speak on the deets of prepping it, but I can boast about the outcome- it was one of the best baby showers and not just saying that because it was ours. Here are 3 things that made it fantastic- and of course great photos to share.
1. The People- our gust list was kept to a minimum and also the RSVP list was slim, understandably we are experiencing a pandemic and social gatherings are not encouraged. We appreciated everyone who did show from friends to family. Masks were required, hand sanitizer was abundant and tables were comfortably spaced out. I even loved the “sweethearts table” that was created for Joe and I to sit at and feel like a King and Queen. I was grateful for my best friend who traveled from San Diego and of course my parents to be apart of the day. Especially thankful for Joe’s fam who worked so hard on every detail and the amazing venue- Francesca’s Place.
2. The Games- these baby shower games were outside the norm and entertained everyone. We had guess how many animal cookies are in the jar, Bingo, charades, and my favorite guess the items that spell out “Baby Shower.” The stage had bags with a letter on the front spelling out B-A-B-Y-S-H-O-W-E-R. Who ever guessed the most correct products, won! The activities entertained young, old, male and female and some of the answers had us all laughing.
3. The timing- with our due date at the end of January, thinking of planning a shower was far fetched. Holidays, new year, pandemic- we didn’t know if anyone would show or when would be the right time. The beginning of January ended up being perfect. We received some amazing gifts from our registry and this gave us a weekend to finish up the baby’s room and analyze any last minute things we would need before baby A’s arrival. Little did we know, 4 days later he would be joining us. What perfect timing.
Yes, baby A is here and we can’t wait to share more details on his Birthday, Traditional Hopi Naming Ceremony and many more memories of our little one- oh and his name too!
