A weekend of celebrations: baby shower and birthday party ideas

This past weekend we were super busy! I love being busy, but this weekend felt like a whirlwind. It was all good though because we got to celebrate some important events! 

First, my friend Jennifer's daughter turned 10. I was at her house to help entertain the girls and to provide moral support when they didn't go to bed until 5 am. True story. Needless to say, Sunday I was exhausted, but I had to share some of the details from the party with you! 

Jennifer had a candy bar for all the girls to have as favors when they left in the morning. I'm pretty sure after waking up, there wasn't this much candy left inside though! 

The cake was from Publix. I was so impressed at the taste and look of the cake. I've even had Publix cakes at wedding too! I love their frosting! 

After staying up all night and getting about 3 hours of sleep total, I was off to help host a baby shower for a college friend of mine. 

She's having a girl in about 6 weeks and her nursery colors are pink and gray, so we went with that theme for the shower. 

The food was delicious and was set on a chevron table runner with pink poofs hanging from the light fixture. 

There were personalized water bottles. 

For the banner, pink and gray outfits were used with printed letters taped on the front. 

As favors, guests were given a bottle of Sweet Pea lotion from Bath and Body Works with a personalized tag to remember the occasion. 

All in all it was a very fun weekend and I loved pulling together all the decor for the celebrations. 

But I may need a week to recover!
