Back at the end of February, I had the honor to plan and host a baby shower for my sister-in-law, Lacy and brother, Devin for their first baby. I’ve been soooo excited to finally share all of the pictures!
They decided not to find out the gender of the baby until it was born, so naturally I wanted a gender-neutral theme. I decided on a ‘Welcome to the World’ theme as a play on words. Firstly, to literally welcome their first babe to the world, and secondly as a nod toward Devin & Lacy’s love of travel. Ever since they started dating back in college, they shared of passion of exploring the world and Lacy even more so. She helped spark that same deep love of travel in my brother, and they’ve since explored the world together…literally. They’ve been to Australia, Japan, Africa, Holland, Mexico and so many more. So, it was really important to me to make that the main inspiration of the shower. Lacy loves natural, modern design which I wanted to incorporate into the decor as much as possible as well.
The beautiful “naked” cake with raspberry vanilla & blueberry lemon layers. Made from scratch by my incredibly talented sister-in-law, Melissa.
Melissa made all of the stunning sugar cookies as well!
My first attempt at making a charcuterie board. I was actually really pleased with how it turned out!
The guest book was actually a brand new children’s book illustrated by Lauren Taylor, the sister of Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam. Lacy and I both love following Julia on Instagram, and this book called ‘Tales of Wonder’, tells the story of a little girl named Wonder who travels the world in her dreams by hot air balloon. It was one of my favorite and most special touches to the baby shower (especially since Lacy ended up having a girl!).
For the favors, I decided on filling little glass jars with different spices from “around the world” as well as having little bags of sweet & salty kettle corn.
I had an absolute blast planning this baby shower. It was one of my favorite events I’ve ever done, and it always feels that much more special when you get to plan something like this for someone you love. Devin & Lacy have since given birth to the most perfect baby girl, Livvy Rose, and I am over the moon with excitement to be an auntie..again!
Congrats on your perfect little lady Devin & Lacy!! Thanks for letting me throw your shower!
