Baby Girl Sprinkle

A few days ago we "sprinkled" baby girl with love the day before Mother's Day, so it was a pretty special weekend. The event was held at the Culver Hotel, one of my favorite spots in LA (one of my very first blog posts was actually about the hotel and I had my 30th birthday party there as well). The decor in the Parisian Room is right up my alley: bright and white, perfect for a bridal or baby shower. We had a buffet style brunch with fresh squeezed OJ, fruit and berries, fresh baked croissants and pastries, scrambled eggs, brioche French toast, applewood smoked bacon, sausage links, rosemary roasted potatoes, Caesar salad with grilled chicken, coffee, tea and mimosas for the non-preggos. Unfortunately, I was still recovering from a weird, 8-hour stomach bug I caught late Thursday night, so I wasn't in the mood to feast, but everything looked so good!

The dessert table had a pink and white theme with yogurt dipped pretzels, powdered donuts, cake pops, Rice Krispies and a naked white cake with vanilla custard from Angel Maid Bakery (seriously the best cake ever, this place does not disappoint!)

For the activity, my sister asked guests to fill out a message on the front and/or back of a diaper for those late night changes (sign can be found here). The invitation also asked guests to bring a book instead of a card with a message for baby on the inside cover, which I absolutely loved; I already have a nice little start to her library!

Finally, guests were sent home with a bottle of OPI's "It's a Girl" nail polish as a party favor (click here for a copy of the "Mani Thanks" sign).

A huge thank you to my mom and sisters who put everything together, down to the centerpieces, Rice Krispy treats and cake pops! Everything turned out beautifully and now it's time to meet this baby girl in just a few short weeks (yikes!)
