“Jaime is having a girl! But didn’t want anything pink or too girly…she loves organic and the DIY feel. Which is perfect for us, as we got crafty when we could. We found her invitations online at Tiny Prints, a mustard yellow and brown baby bird, similar colors to her baby room.  Patty, the other hostess, who is Jaime’s co-worker made the desserts, from cake pops, to lemon cakes to brownies!  The bird cake was too cute to cut up!  We ordered the cupcakes fromv Frostings Cupcakes (that was too risky to make, plus they have cute wood fork and knife).  Patty found brown and mustard patterned fabric and I hot glued them to make them like pillow cases, placed the cupcakes inside and tied it up.  Party favor labels I ordered when I ordered the invites…to match.  We used the same design when creating the Baby Word Scramble Game.  And the baby food tasting game!  The hardest one was pear, everyone thought it was apple!  I think the Chicken and Pasta one was hard too!  Finding clothes in the colors was super hard, after 7 stores, we found adorable skirts and sweaters. Patty bought white onesies and sewed little pinwheels on them to make them more cheery and in line with our color theme. Nisie’s Enchanted Florist created beautiful bark wrapped containers and twigs wrapped around to vase to make it look like a birds nest, with mustard yellow roses, coxcomb, berries, and moss.  The amazing Christopher Aldama, once a former caterer, of Fiori Fresco Special Events, made all the delicious salads..steak salad, pesto chicken salad, cashew cole slaw and asparagus citrus salad with lemon zest.  But to start off the party, all the cheese you can imagine…my favorite, Humbolt fog goat cheese with fresh honeycomb!  Oh and the baby pickles, to die for.”
