The Cupcake Chic with Party Tips: Giddy up!

Natasha Martinez's Baby Shower September 26, 2009

This is Natasha Martinez and that bump is her new baby boy, let's just call him JJ.

This is Natasha's new family

And here we are - the girls! Yvette, Carmen (pregers) Natasha, Ann and Me (the Cupcake Chic!)

Well I was doing research for her baby shower and since I am an avid follower of The Hostess with the Mostess and Bakerella, I got some ideas from their sites. If you EVER want to find good ideas go to their sites. http://www.bakerella.com/ and http://www.thehostesswiththemostess.com/

So here is what we came up with . . . Inspiration!

Since we had the shower at Ann's - the theme was Western.

Decorations were easy since Ann is an Elementary School teacher we went to the library for western books and added little touches here and there!

I used some scrapbook paper to make napkin with her initials on them! They were so cute, people did not want to use them!

This was the table setting, it was cute! I even made the table runners. If you look at the picture behind Natasha you can see it better! Let's talk about food. Bar-B-Que of course!

Brisket - made by me @ 7am this morning! Green Beans! Yummy to the Tummy. It is so hard to find good tasting green beans! Baked Beans and Red Skin Potato Salad. Need I say more . . . Yes! And since I am addicted to McDonald's sweet tea - any Texas BBQ worth its salt has Sweet Tea! Look at the cute jug - Bed Bath and Beyond! You can even put ice in the bottom! Too Too cute! Let the Games Begin!

Talk about COMPETITIVE! These people were serious! We played about four games and what did they win . . .

Cute huh? Thanks Bakerella! So who was the first to win?

Carmen! She is due in January! So we will be planning another baby shower soon! Did someone say cupcakes? You knew they were coming, right!

Look how cute they are!

The little toppers were made by me, I wanted to try something new. I think they turned out cute! Family and Friends Nothing makes a baby shower like 'em!
