A Baby Shower: Birds + Bikes *Colorado Event Planner*

I’m going to do my utmost to describe how wonderfully awesome my friend, Sarah, is and how utterly adorable her baby shower was.

A few special tid bits about Sarah:

Her last name is Byrd (yes.  like…bird).

Her and her husband love to bike and could open a small bike shop with their bike collection.  Also, she’s letting me borrow her fab cruiser while she’s pregnant :)   Thanks, Sarah!

She is pregnant with TWIN BOYS!!!  Liam and Elijah will be joining us around the end of September or early October.

And last but not least, Sarah is one of the sweetest, most selfless, giving people I’ve ever known.  She’s one of those gals that makes you think to yourself  “She deserves the very best of everything!”  I’ve been incredibly blessed by her friendship over the years and I can hardly wait to welcome her two boys into this world and give them all the love I can possibly muster!

So with the last name of  Byrd and a love of bikes, the theme of this shower becomes apparent almost immediately: Birds and Bikes.  I will explain the elements in each photo.  Let the birds and bikes fabulousness begin!!

The entire shower was branded with birds and bikes, which you’ll see throughout the details.  Expertly designed by Fixer Design

Delicious cranberry pina colada  “mocktails” in etched, bird glasses that guests got to take home!

Bike wheel cupcakes and cookies + milk shooters

Since there will be TWO babies (“Twice As Nice”), we chose fun food pairings

Stick arrangements, as opposed to flowers

Shower activities???  We had an adorable onesie painting station.  Each guest painted a onesie using free hand or stencils that we provided and then hung them on the clothes line to dry!

Then we did a Baby Byrds mad lib!  This was quite hilarious and provided plenty of laughs :)   Also, the fabric you see in some of the photos is a wood grain print.  This will double as the fabric for custom made crib bumpers for both boys.

And a huge chalkboard themed drawing on the wall by the ever-talented Fixer Design

The mother-to-be and friends!

Congratulations, Sarah!  Can’t wait to meet the Baby Byrds :)
