sweet as honey.

{the beyond fabulous m.press cards designed these invitations}

while in oklahoma, my wonderful sisters & friends threw julie a baby shower!

as julie & ben are not finding out if little aveer is a boy or a girl, we chose a fun & festive yellow & grey & white theme for our "sweet as honey" baby shower!  my amazingly talented hostesses went all out with the invitations & decorations & snacks & beverages.

hopefully you will have as much fun as we did...

{m.press, of course, designed all of the adorable signs}

{all of the amazing photos are cari's.

all of the very average photos are mine :) }

{cari had the fantastic idea to use a children's book as our guest book.

we chose press here by herve tullet.

have you ever seen this book??

it is new since my childhood & i am in love.}

our beverage bar: 

{complete with a homemade yellow & grey & white circus flag banner}

i love cups.  & i love little aveer.

cari also had the lovely idea for all of our guests to bring their favorite childhood book for little aveer!  my favorite childhood book?  alexander & the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.  it's the greatest.  & little aveer has one to fall in love with!  you'll get to see more people's choices tomorrow...

love love,
