Baby Pruitt’s baby shower was such a beautiful event that we hosted at my aunt and uncles house. We ended up invited over 100 people. Yes! Over 100 people. How that happened? I have no idea. But I have to say, Baby Pruitt has so many family and friends who love him so much already and are so excited to meet him!

In terms of decorations, I bought almost everything from Amazon and it was delivered super fast! I decided to do a greenery, gold and white theme as the color palette, and I really love how it all came together. Of course, I was so busy that day that I didn’t get any photos, but I have compiled a few that family and friend took, so forgive me for not having photos of everything.

For centerpieces, I always go with Trader Joe flowers. They are so beautiful, they last the longest and are definitely the most affordable. We used a bunch of mason jars to place the white roses, white hydrangea’s, babies breath and eucalyptus in. I absolutely loved this combination of flowers. It went perfectly with our color scheme.

For games, my mom and my sister were in charge of coordinating and picking those. We ended up playing 3 games: the string guessing game where all the guests try to guess the size of my stomach; guess the baby item in the bag game where there were 16 items in a bag and guests have to feel the bag and guess what is inside the bag; due date game where there were two calendars and guests had to guess the date and time that Baby Pruitt will arrive (which is my favorite)!

We ended up going with Italian for food and everyone was super happy! It was a labor of love because my mom and dad did meatballs and salad, my grandmother did a whole lot of baked ziti and sausage and peppers, and we ordered garlic rolls from one of our favorite Italian restaurants. We kept it simple, but it was perfect! Also, everyone chipped in for dessert where we had cheesecake, my grandmother’s ricotta cake, rum cake, chocolate chip cookies, and a deep dark chocolate cake.

I initially wanted to only do a charcuterie board with finger foods for the main meal, but because we were having so many people, we decided to do a charcuterie board for the appetizers! My best friend’s mom came to the rescue with plating the charcuterie board, because of course, in true Brittany’s family fashion, we were running late the day of the shower. So my best friends mom and dad came a few minutes early and were plating the charcuterie board as guests were arriving.

Oh, and my dad’s fruit salad deserves an award! Look at how amazing his baby fruit salad turned out! Everyone was so impressed. That is some amazing artwork there!

Our baby boy was so spoiled and received so many beautiful gifts from everyone. I am still going through and organizing all of the amazing gifts he received to prepare for his arrival!

Lastly, I just want to say thank you to all of our family and friends who traveled from near and far to attend our baby’s shower! Your love for him is so amazing and we are so grateful to have such amazing people in our lives! And a special thank you to my family and friends who helped coordinate, plan and execute this baby shower. I love you more than anything. Thank you for putting up with my crazy party ideas and for allowing me to have a big party for my baby boy!

Baby Shower Invites With Paperless Post

We are currently in the process of planning our baby boy’s baby shower, and with only a little over a month to go, I decided to use Paperless Post! If you follow me regularly, you know that I have loved using Paperless Post in the past. I shared a post here about how much I love using them for planning parties.

They have so many great options to pick from, and I love so many of their gorgeous designs. I wanted to share a few of my favorites here with you!

What I love most about Paperless Post, is that it is easy for me to keep track of who is coming to our parties, because people can RSVP through the site. It allows me to stay very organized. Also, I am able to link our baby shower registry, which is super helpful for our guests attending.

If you are planning a baby shower, birthday party, graduation party, holiday party or anything else in between, be sure to check out Paperless Post!

Holiday Dress Season!

Over the past few days, I have been shopping for some holiday dresses for my husband’s office party, and of course for Christmas and maybe even New Years. I found some amazing dresses and most of them are on sale right now! You can find them all on my Instagram in my “Shop” highlight as well!

All of the dresses are normal sizes and not maternity dresses. If I had to, I sized up in a few so that it would fit my bump, so they are bump and non-bump friendly!

My Pregnancy Journey| The First Trimester

I can’t even believe that my first trimester is over and I am few weeks into my second trimester. During the first trimester, I definitely felt like it was going by super slow. And sometimes, I do feel like it still is. But now, looking back to when we found out that we were pregnant, it really has in the blink of an eye!

Let me just start this blog post off by saying that every single pregnancy is so different and unique. It is not a one size fits all, but I do feel like it is super important for women to document their pregnancies so that other women can see what others have experienced, know what to expect, know if what they are going through may be normal, etc. I have definitely reached out to so many of the women in my life that recently had babies, are currently pregnant, and the OG mom’s who have multiple children. It is nice to take bits and pieces of everyone’s journey and talk through the many changes that happen throughout pregnancy.

So let’s get started!

This seems so surreal sometimes, but we are so grateful for this special moment in our lives.

We already announced our pregnancy over on our social media channels (follow me @bisousbrittany on Instagram for more updates) and the gender of the baby! But if you missed it, we are having…
