Two weekends ago I hosted a baby shower for one of my best friends. She is due with her second baby boy in May. I am so excited to meet him and had a wonderful time planning a small celebration for his upcoming arrival!
I decided to do an ABC/storybook theme. I ordered these printable invitations from Pretty Little Studio on Etsy.
These adorable flashcards are from KB and Friends on Etsy. I printed one set for her to keep and one for me to use with Connor.

Since the shower started at 10:30, I served brunch food and had a self serve mimosa bar with prosecco, assorted juices, coffee, and water.

Brunch foods: mini fritatas, donuts, bacon, fruit, lemon cupcakes with blueberry frosting, parfait, french toast sticks, and pigs in a blanket.
While eating, we all drew pictures for Baby _____'s ABC book. It was fun seeing how artistic everyone was!
After we all ate, it was time for games. I picked two that went with the theme and then the traditional guess how big her belly is game. The first game we did was a storybook quiz that I found from here. It was multiple choice, so that made it easier then some of the other ones that I found.
The second game turned out to be quite hard. Each guest had to come up with a baby item for each letter of the alphabet. Originally we wanted for everyone to match their answers to Kelsey's, but we ended up giving the prize to Megan who had the most items.
The last game was my favorite. Each guest got a bag with an extra long pieces of yarn in it. They had to cut it to the size they thought Kelsey's belly was. I saw the idea here and thought it was perfect since I had extra yarn that I used for the tassels and flashcard garland.

Kelsey, I hope you enjoyed your shower. Jaimee and Morgan, thanks for helping me!
