Baby Shower Tea Party

I mentioned last Friday that I was throwing a baby shower for my sister last weekend. The theme was "An Afternoon Tea," and the color scheme was hot pink, black and white.

I scored the most amazing roses at Costco, the day before the shower!

We served tea in my grandmother's antique bone china - she'd be so happy to know we used her beautiful china; my mother-in-law made the adorable chocolate teacup & teapot favors...I painted the flower pots and wrapped them with ribbon to display the treats.

(From top left): we served several different teas, each pot labeled with a description of the tea flavor; yummy cream puffs covered in chocolate and powdered sugar; one of my floral centerpieces along side a bowl of M&M's and peanuts (as requested by my very pregnant sister); an adorable sign created by my 8-year old niece and big-sister-to-be, which reads "Welcome funny Baby!"

Petit fours that my mom and I made together - we were so proud of ourselves :) We actually sliced up butter pound cake, covered the cubes with homemade frosting and then I decorated them with regular cake frosting in pastry bags. So easy and really tasty!

Chocolate covered strawberries created by my mom :)

The shower was a total success! Everyone, including my lovely sister, had a great time and enjoyed all of the tea and treats. I wish you all a wonderful weekend! Any fun plans? I'm planning on doing NOTHING and will enjoy every moment of it! Ciao :)
