Couples Shower Part 1- Food and Decorations

This weekend my sweet friends threw Mikey and I a couples baby shower. The shower was held in the evening and they served desserts and adult beverages. The theme of the shower was "Great Thinkers". When Mikey was thinking of ideas for the nursery he threw around the idea, mostly joking, of having something to do with some of the great thinkers like Socrates, Confucious, Aristotle etc... When I mentioned this to my friends they ran with the idea and they came up with what I think is the most creative and clever baby shower theme I have seen yet! The shower had a very sophisticated and mature feel to it. It was perfect!

The invitation

The guests signed the inside of this bible for Connor. The sign in table was complete with owl bookmarks and cigars for the guys.

Books to add to the other classics already on the shelf in Connor's room

The girls did such a good job at integrating the theme throughout the entire shower.

They served desserts and drinks at the shower with clever titles.

Every detail of the shower was just perfect! I couldn't have asked for a better shower. Thank you Tana, Amy, Jenny, and Rebekah for all the hard work you put into making it such a special night for us.
