This weekend, my friends and I hosted a baby shower for our friend Allison and her sweet baby boy on the way. We had it at our house and it was fun to have everyone here. And to have an excuse to get my house as clean as possible!
When Allison told us that she was using navy, green, madras, and alligators in the baby?s nursery, we decided to use that as inspiration for her baby shower.
We decided on a ?See You Later, My Little Alligator? theme.
We called on the talented girls at Sweet Birdie?s Nest to help us make the theme come to life. They created party circles, cupcake toppers, a banner, a welcome sign, and a great set of prints for us to frame for Allison. I love these colors and think they?re just so fun and happy!
This fun little set of prints (excuse the horrible glare) was framed on the welcome table. We also had fun little note cards with a number on them for months 1-12. The guests were asked to write advice and encouragement to Allison for each of those months.
Also on the welcome table, we had these delicious and oh-so-cute cookie favors from Holly at Doughmestic Housewife. Holly?s cookies are so soft and yummy and I?ll say it again?. they are little works of art! (Holly ships and takes custom orders!)

My friend Caroline brought delicious chicken salad sandwiches on croissants.
My friend Tina made pimento cheese sandwiches. Goodness, this is making me hungry!
Allison said she has been craving fruit, so I made my friend Emily?s pineapple pretzel salad recipe that I?ve posted before. Yummy!
My friend Allyson put together a pretty vegetable platter.
And of course no shower is complete without fluffy cupcakes from Publix and sweet cupcake toppers.

My friend Julie brought these delicious chocolate cookies.
I made these baked brie bites. I found the recipe on Pizzazzerie, and I will definitely be making these again.
My friend Caroline brought this wonderful spinach dip, and I think it looks so pretty!

The banner said ?See You Later My Lil Alligator.?
And all the hostesses with Allison. She allowed us to touch her belly? we did ask permission! Ha!
Me, Allyson, Julie, Allison, Tina, and Caroline
I love these girls!
