The hostesses came to me with very specific details that they wanted carried out for their dear friend. She was having "spontaneous twins," in other words they hadn't planned on having twins so her friends knew she would need to get some of the larger baby items at this shower.

We included in the invitation to all guests a contribution form and envelope to go towards the car seats she had registered for. The response was overwhelming and they not only got enough to cover the car seats, but had so much over that amount they also got to give her a gift card!

The mother-to-be was not into shower themed games so instead of something cheesy we had each guest bring a wrapped but unmarked onesie and childrens book. Since we were already asking guests to contribute money towards the car seats we thought this would be a fun and affordable way for her to also open gifts. We had her open each wrapped onesie and/or book and guess who had given that specific item to her. It was a nice way to fill some time for the event and not do a traditional baby shower game.

The hostesses also wanted to make sure that there was plenty of food for this event because it was a mid-afternoon shower. The mother-to-be LOVES Chick-Fil-A so we had it catered with her favorite items from there. The cake was from a gourmet bakery in the area that she loves as well. It was a traditional white cake with buttercream icing, the mother-to-be's favorite!

"We had so much fun meeting with Michelle, letting her know the important items we wanted implemented, and then letting her run with them," said Becky Drummy, one of the hostesses. "Michelle made this shower so special for our friend, and that was very important to us," said Becky.
