Showering my boss!

Monday afternoon we had a shower in our boardroom for my boss and his wife. They are expecting their first bundle of joy in the near future and we wanted to show just how excited we were. I found a wonderful idea online at HWTM. I thought it was the perfect idea for my boss and his wife and their style and the fact that they weren't finding out the gender of the baby. I've seen plenty of gender neutral showers, but this one had a very chic twist I think! :)

Basically the theme was B is for Baby. With Bumble Bees and yellow, gray and white as a color scheme.

Advice for the parents-to-BEE hehe

Bees were everywhere... I made them from foam. Cut the body out of black, the wings out of white and the strips out of yellow. Then I stuck them all together and used black pipe cleaner for the antenna.


I made this banner with scrapbook paper, ribbon and cardstock. I really need a Cricut though, I hadcut the letters from print outs and it wasn't easy.



The favors were these mini jars of honey "Thanks for BEEING so sweet!"




The cupcakes, oh the cupcakes. My bakery did a fantastic job! WOA were they delicious!







My boss thought he was coming to the conference room for a meeting. He had NO CLUE!!


But he was really excited once he figured it out! He even said "This is the best surprise ever!"



Everyone ate and mingled. It was a great time. They really got some nice gifts too!




Congrats Will & Sara!!! We can't wait to meet the baby!

Onna, you should quit your job and plan parties for a living! You can plan all of Trevor's birthday parties if you want :).
