La Bella Bash!: My Lil' Peanut - Claudette's Gender Neutral Baby Shower

This had to be one of the most original events that we have planned thus far. Lately, mothers-to-be are opting for the element of surprise when it comes to the baby's gender, but they do not want to fall into the typical green and yellow colors...and thank goodness because we are always itching to try something brand*spanking*new* all the time ;)

In this case, Claudette wants to be surprised when it comes to her baby's gender. We wanted to try something new and all we knew was that she referred to her baby as her "lil peanut" and so we started building the theme! Of course, we would add peanuts somewhere, but instead of teddy's we used cutie patutie grey elephants and well fresh flowers and the modern party must-have pom-poms in bright colors!! We hope she enjoyed it as much as we did :)

The event was held in a Penthouse in Edgewater, New Jersey. If you know Edgewater, it has one of the most A-M-A-Z-I-N-G views of NYC and the Hudson River. It was our priveledge to work on a non-typical gender neutral baby shower with an awesome view ;)

Enjoy the pictures!!
