Josh and Karyn Forge are a few of my favorite people. This might have been because I caught them holding hands during a Chiefs game and said to El Husbando, "I wonder if they are dating?" Many years after accidentally outing them, I could not have been more thrilled to throw a colorful safari themed shower to celebrate the arrival of the little lady to be.With the sun beaming down on one of the warmest days of the year, a co-ed party of fifty gathered to celebrate what we know will be one of the most amazingly beautiful and kind baby girls to grace of with her presence.
The colorful safari theme was the perfect fit for this festive day. Invitations found on TinyPrints.com guided the color scheme to turquoise, pink and orange. Similar signage was made for stations throughout the party.
I adore party favors, especially when they can be a personal reflection on the honorees. Even better when it reminds you fondly of your childhood! In white takeout boxes and clear bags, decorated with custom stickers and ribbon, I opted for a Midwestern favorite, homemade Puppy Chow, a nod to the daddy-to-be's roots in Kansas City. If you haven't experienced puppy chow, let me just say, holy moly. You are totes missing out! This amazing mix of Chex, peanut butter, chocolate and powdered sugar is the perfect treat and very reminiscent of our childhoods. (I said it was delish. I didn't say it was good for you.)
Cupcakes from Buttercake Bakert in West Hollywood are not only a personal favorite but the perfect centerpiece to this gorgeous buffet. I create a pretty, simply display with signage, a variety of platters and sixty home polka dot flags.
It was a perfect, warm day, full of warmer wishes for two very special friends and their new little lady, Camden.
