In this episode of the Bridal Extravaganza Show Podcast we’re chatting with Ashley, Stephanie, Kylie, and Bianca who have just finished planning a baby shower for ABC-13’s news reporter, Miya Shay.
Our team came up with the hashtag “#BabyWu2” for Miya’s second baby, a trendy touch for this intimate event of 54 people. We aimed for something a little more elegant than usual. The cake was completely white with dainty chocolate baby shoes while almost everything else was silver, from the cake pops to the balloons and a few items in between. We didn’t want anything to be too blue or too ordinary.
Having the event hosted in a private home made it somehow easier and more challenging at the same time. It’s great to have a personal space with a cozy vibe but being in someone else’s space does have the occasional drawback.
Hiring a professional photographer was a great move. We got some fantastic shots of all the guests enjoying themselves in this gorgeous space. The layout of the home really helped things to flow a bit better.
We had a few glitches throughout the day, including an unexpected heavy downpour, but everything was completely manageable. You can’t predict everything after all. We would definitely advise that people plan well ahead for any of these types of events. Having a proper checklist really helps to keep stress levels low.
