#9: A Baby Shower Tea Party


















On Sunday, November 7th, Jessica Roberts, Stephanie Tsai and Tiffani Rogers hosted a beautiful, cozy baby shower tea party. Jackie Hanselmann brought some delicious treats and Sarah Spencer drove all the way from San Diego to be there!

These ladies have a special place in my heart, and are part of my small group through Bel Air. Some of us have been together for 3 1/2 years, and others joined the group more recently. Our group is a blend of guys/girls and marrieds/singles - so it was fun to just have some girl time over tea celebrating new life!

There were sweet place settings for each person, complete with adorable name cards and tea cups with saucers (Jessica's tea set). Jessica also made the aqua and orange table cloth, which are the colors of Baby Prusz's room! Stephanie made some beautiful flower arrangements with farmer's market flowers, and Tiffani was the creative mind responsible for the adorable name cards (each person's was different!)

There was an assortment of teas - including chocolate peppermint, vanilla and pear rooibos, green and black teas. There were some delectable tea party snacks as well, including a pear gorgonzola salad, onion and goat cheese puff pastries, tea sandwiches, maple scones, mini pigs-in-a-blanket, homemade cranberry tart, chocolate chip cookies and peanut-butter rice crispie treats. Everything tasted as good as it sounds!

We played some fun games which included a baby-item version of The Price Is Right and a How Big Is Baby game in which you have to match up fruits and veggies to the baby's week-by-week size during pregnancy. I didn't win either of these games, so not sure what I'm getting myself into!

The girls showered Baby Prusz with some sweet gifts including lots of cute clothes, blankets and bath-time items!
