Pickles and Ice Cream

So I have a lot of pregnant friends right now, and one is one of my college roommates. There are six of us and we are still very close. So every time one of us gets married or has a baby we host a shower together. We throw the very best showers! That being said, we out did ourselves this time!

Alexis is the mommy-to-be, and she is having a little girl! Alexis and I bonded early in our college days over our freakish love of pickles. So even before we knew the gender we all started referring to baby C as "pickle." So the theme for the shower started there. Also preggos eat weird things like pickles and ice cream right?!? But we took it a step further, her last name is Cherry (isn't that the cutest?) so our shower would be " Pickles and Ice Cream with a (baby) Cherry on top!" Do you love it?
Flowering ice cream sundaes, and our invite

The next few pictures show off all the onesies guest brought for the baby as part of a game. Alexis had four catagories to award prizes in:

 1. Sweetest Onesie
 2. Funniest Onesie
3. Onesie that most describes Alexis
 4. Onesie that most describes the  guest who brought it
Funniest!

Most describes Alexis!

The packers onesie won for most like guest who brought it...Rhiannon-what a cheese head!

The one I made her, it didn't win anything! Rigged (I was in charge of games ;)


Then we had the homemade decor, courtesy of our resident Martha Stewarts LB and Beka, who I believe could teach Martha a thing or two as well!





Floral Ice Cream with a real cherry on top, and the inspirational clothing line
Sweet bib that was PERFECT for out party and just itchin' for a sweet monogram!

I mean it's true
Then we had the amazing cherry, ice cream and pickle/dill inspired menu, by Melanie and Rhiannon
Chocolate covered cherries, salmon dill crostinis, assorted pickles, ice cream cone cupcakes and more oh my!





And our favors, which were really part of the decorations were homemade pickles (sweet LB) and homemade cherry body scrub (awesome Melanie!)



And out sweet roommate Lauren, stuck in sunny California, poor her :) So we face timed her in!





I thought it turned out great! And of course just seeing and catching up with my favorite girls was the best part!
