I’m extra excited for today’s post because I’m sharing all the details from my baby shower!! Baby Sapel is so loved and it was such a great day spent with family and girlfriends. I still can’t believe our little boy will be here in just a few short weeks and the shower definitely made it feel more real (especially with all the new baby gear that made its way into our house)!!
Ps. All sources are linked at the bottom of the post.
My mother-in-law hosted the shower but she lives out of town so when we were initially planning on where to have it, it felt natural to do it at our home because we designed the living area with entertaining in mind. I also had a fancier bridal shower so liked the idea of this one being a little more casual. Plus, it was nice to have everyone check out the nursery!
The space was transformed with the help of Confetti Castle who designed the balloon garland and backdrop. Our mantle was the perfect place to grab a quick photo- it fit with the boy theme with a blue ombre-effect garland with mixed in stars and gold balloons. The space over our sideboard in the dining room was a blank canvas for more balloons, streamers and gold stars.
Ryan’s mom made all the main dishes which were absolutely delicious and for dessert we had a fruit & chocolate board from Babe & Butcher and an adorable cake from Suarez Bakery (which gave a hint to his name!). The little footprints and elephants were too precious! There was also a “Mom-osa Bar” set up with prosecco and a mix of fruit juices and berries. FYI I highly recommend the Fre and St. Regis sparkling wines as a non-alcoholic option. It tasted like the real thing!
Looking back, I am so glad I decided to have a photographer come to shoot this special day. I know when it comes to parties, they tend to go by SO quickly and it’s often hard to get all the photos you want. This way, none of the guests had to be on camera duty and we got some amazing photos thanks to my girl Deeana. When it was time to open gifts, all the girls played baby bingo while enjoying cake which was fun because it made it more interactive for them. We stocked up on so much great baby gear and I have officially entered nesting mode! I am so thankful for everyone who attended and made this days so special for me and baby boy!

Such a sweet and beautiful shower! You are glowing mama!
Talk about a truly stunning baby shower. Can we just take a moment to swoon over the balloon displays? I am madly in love with the addition of the star balloons. So pretty! Also the “Mom-osa” bar is so creative. I love a good mimosa bar, and even had one at my bridal shower, but this is perfect for those who need to avoid alcohol. You looked beautiful, and it seems like it was a spectacular day you’ll remember forever!
You and your bump are so cute! It looks like the cutest most special shower for baby boy!
This shower is just gorgeous!! Looks like the perfect day. Love that balloon arch too, so many pretty details.
Everything looks absolutely amazing! I love that sweet photo of you and the hubs. Also, this dress….AMAZING on you!
