My good friend, Lindsay, whom I've known since college was gearing up to have her two precious twins! After lots of trials with in-vitro the second time around (they have a four year old), Lindsay thankfully carried her babies through a healthy pregnancy and was due in early July. So, I got together with Lindsay's good childhood friend, Laura and helped to plan her baby shower! It felt like deja vu because at this almost exact time last year, I was planning another twin baby shower for my other good college roomy friend, Kristin, also who became pregnant via in-vitro! Crazy world! Anyhow...I had SO MUCH FUN planning this baby shower as I had the previous year for Kristin! Since Lindsay's colors for her babies room were pink and blue (she had a girl and a boy), Laura and I decided to go with a simple theme of the two colors. I made the invitations and added the cars and butterflies since both items were in the bedding.
This was the welcome table with welcome sign, name tags, gorgeous sweet peas from their neighbor's garden and game instruction card along with photo album and advice/wishes cards for Lindsay and family to remember the event (not pictured). Lindsay's friend Laura's lovely Mom offered to host the shower down in the San Jose, CA area where most of her friends live.

Cupcake table with tissue paper pom-pom decorations.
I couldn't resist making these cupcakes for the shower even though Laura and her mom thought I was crazy! We made the cupcakes themselves the night before and then I made the frosting and colored it and piped it on them the morning of. I had a vision for these and had been wanting to try some for a while and was happy with the way they turned out!
Pretty drink area!
Yummy quiches that Laura's Mom made!
More gorgeous flowers including some prestine calla lillies from the garden! Below the flowers are the fun sugar skin scrub party favors that Laura made and we dyed in party colors and decorated with ribbon!
Name tags!
