Whitney's "Hoot" of a Baby Shower

(First, as a disclaimer, please excuse the bad quality phone pictures in this post...)

One of my best friends, Whitney, is preggers with her first baby.
So cute!
One of my other best friends, Danielle, and I wanted to throw Whitney a shower to express our love and excitement.  Whitney and her hubby have decided that they want baby's gender to be a surprise, which meant any showers needed to be boy and girl appropriate.  The nursery is nature themed and since owls are pretty hot right now we thought owls would be the way to go.

We keep the owl theme pretty constant throughout the shower...

We made a banner that said "Look Whooo's Having a Baby."



We sought "wise" advise for mommy and baby from shower attendees as well as their predictions for the little one.

We made little owl favors for everyone to take home.


And of course, no shower is complete with out delicious yums for everyone to stuff themselves.



I could have uncovered the food before I took a picture! Ugh!
I'd say the shower was very successful.  Mommy got lots of great gifts for baby and everyone had a good time socializing, seeing some faces we hadn't seen in a while, and meeting new friends.

Until next time...
