Celebration

Since Paul and I don't really have a whole lot of friends and family here in Texas, we can't really have a baby shower or men-only baby shower. So we're having a co-ed diaper party. That way all of our friends and family can come celebrate the baby's nearing arrival.

Rebecca has been more than gracious helping me out with decorations and cake ideas. She's also the "RSVP Lady". We picked out some red (sorry, Hobby Lobby didn't have blue) handkerchief napkins and plates and will be making a horseshoe shaped cake with toy horses on top. We're also hanging red and white streamers around the house. When everything is complete and set up I will take pictures.

I made the invitations myself. They were printed on blue cardstock at Office Depot. Cost me a whopping $4.00 for 40 invitations. :-D

We came up with a couple things to do for the diaper party. The main event will be poker (see invitation). The other is a raffle. I still haven't figured out what we'll be raffling off but I was thinking 2 tickets for putt putt golf and a gift card to Dairy Queen sounded good (ice cream after a date?). I don't know yet. And maybe a $10 gift card somewhere for the winner of the poker game.

We're going to make the food, too. Nothing too hard. Just making little sandwiches.

I'm kind of nervous. It's one of those, "What if no one comes?" things. I just hope we have a great turnout so we can at least spend one "last" day hanging out with friends. Diapers would be a plus, but having everyone over for a good time would be the best gift ever.
