Megan's Shower

On Saturday, we got to celebrate the pregnancy of my sister-in -law, Megan. (She is married to Tom's brother, Walter)

Their baby, Jackson Barnard Louis, is due the end of October.

It was such a special shower for such a special friend.

We found some bible verses that pertained to being a mom, children, and encouragement, and put them in an album. To start the shower, we had the 2 moms and 2 grandmothers each read a verse to Megan. Then during the shower, guests wrote their own words of encouragement to add to the album.

Decorations


This was my first attempt working with fondant.
And if it hadn't been for Kate (who made me stick my arms (up to my elbows) under the cake with her), it would have been on cardboard, not the fancy platter... there was much stress in doing that.


Cute, cute party favors.

I have to give a shout out to Mary Pat for this great idea.
We printed out cards with Jackson's initials, due date, and a bible verse and inserted them into magnetic frames.
The guests were instructed to take one to put on their refrigerator as a reminder to pray for Megan, Jackson, and Walter.





These flowers were "embellished" with notes from Walter to Megan saying why he thinks she will be a great mom, and then we also put baby pics of Walter into the flowers.
