SHOWERING AT THE TEA ROOM

So when we decided that some friends and I wanted to host a baby shower for my girlfriend Megan on the weekend of the Alabama game, we had no idea that we would have such a hard time finding a venue. Little unknown fact (at least to us) absolutely NO restaurant in Starkville will make any kind of reservation on a game weekend. No room rentals no table rentals. Nothing. Someone told us about Three Generations Tea room and a lovely conversation with Paige (think little old lady) followed and we booked!

It really was perfect. Paige told me she does all the cooking, all the decorating and we would just need to show up. This was ideal for us since we were all coming from out of town and had no where to host/cook/decorate/ that was convenient.

The Three Generations Tea Room turned out to be quaint, and a little quirky. And as far as the decor went very "old lady" but we had the BEST time just chatting over coffee tea and brunch served by Paige out of tea cups that we were told to pick out from her very large collection. She instructed us to pick one that matched our personality. So cute!

It really was one of the most relaxed and fun showers I have been to. I think Megan enjoyed it and Baby Martinez (gender unknown???) got so many cute and great things.

The table all set for the guests and mommy of honor to arrive.

The serving table. Love the decor.(wink wink) Most people thought that stork was a flamingo!

Along with designing the invitations, Susan at J Press Designs designed this Wishes for Baby Martinez card that matched the invitation. Everyone filled them out while we sat around and talked and then we read them aloud. Some of the answers were funny and some were incredibly sweet. Either way. It was such a fun idea and will be fun for the baby to look back and read.

The hostesses with the mommy to be and modeling our gifts from her. These fabulous cowl scarves. I love it!!

Megan showing off some of her new book collection. Mine was the Giving Tree. I loved that book as a child. Our group of friends like to do books in place of cards.

This picture is a little dark. But thought it was cute of Meg sipping forming her tea cup.

Guest of Honor and all the attendees. Not sure why the left side of the picture is so dark.

Cannot wait to meet Baby Martinez and find out if it is a boy or girl. When we polled all the girls we were split exactly down the middle.
