Baby Shower: Spanish Style

I spot a new trend! The Spainards, not accustomed to baby showers and the such, ate this up! After hosting an American style baby shower for Javi and Ani in January, they more than reciprocated by throwing a fiesta for Baby Carolina. With the help of our dear friends, Natalia and Marga (and I hear Paco and Tigre pitched in a hand), we had such a good time celebrating "spanish" style. Ani was decked out in a Flamenco dress, they decorated with red and white polka dots, cupcakes, Spanish tapas and Sangria. We played musical bottle, celebrity baby matching, guess the belly measurement (ohh they were so off! =) and a bottle chugging race between Ricardo and I. So much fun!

For those planning upcoming showers, let me tell you, the homeade photo booth was a Huge hit!

This looks so fun! The photo booth is a must for the next baby shower. I love the group photo!

That is such a cool baby shower! Customized facilities of decorations and theme preparations are available at all the Chicago event venues and that too at quite less prices. My friend is thinking to arrange a spinster party with tiffany cake and theme before her wedding. Helping her in bookings and of course trousseau shopping.
