Two of my good friends are having a baby together!!!! :). We are so eager to welcome baby "Noah" into the world and this weekend passed we put together a baby shower to show this baby and his mamma's how much we all care about them.
It was such a joyous and memorable occasion shared by so many friends and family. It was so much fun planning with one of the Granny's to be (Mr S) together with aunties and friends. I could really see how loved these three are by the amount of people that wanted to help and make this a truly fantastic and unforgettable day for them. After some meetings, e-mails and a bit of red wine the baby shower plans were well on its way.
We all enjoyed the brunch cocktail snacks and the opening of the gifts and a few games. There were many oooh's and aaah's while opening gifts. While we were all enjoying ourselves and this wonderful occasion, we managed to raise some funds for a charity that is dear to Claire and Jackie's hearts, Ithemba House. Many of the guests made a monetary contribution that will be handed over to the house in celebration of Noah's birth.
Below are a few pics that were taken the night before (prepping) and on the day. I hope you guys enjoy!

Paper sailor hats
Guests were greeted with mimosas on arrival. The champagne glasses were decorated with little themed charms.
As the guests left they each received a themed cupcake that was packaged and decorated with beautiful dummies, ribbons and thank you notes. The guests also received mini chocolate slabs and water bottles that were wrapped in the themed wrapping.
We also did a mobile that reflected all Noah's scans. It's so cute because it shows him giving us the "Peace" sign, hiding from the paprazzi and his cute little fat feet :)
