I co-hosted with my friends Lauren and Jessica - who held down the fort in Florida with important decisions like venue, menu, etc while I came up with the invitation and decor in VA.
We decided to host the soiree at one of the mother-to-be's favorite brunch spots. An eccentric beach cafe, where we had to work with the environment, aka there was lots of crazy stuff there.
With this in mind, I went with a simple motif. Green swirls, white Daisey's and highlights of blue.
I did pack all my decorations in a suitcase and flew them down to FL - in what I referred to as a party in a bag. My husband even let me check my party in a bag, which is strictly against his no checking bags (except for ski and golf trips) policy.

We had such a wonderful time, and I can't wait to throw another party sometime soon!
