We also drove to Lake City to be a part of an expo with some sweet vendors.   What a fun time we had being a part of it and getting to meet some of our new out of town brides!!

Here’s a look at our setups from the last two shows.   Also, we will be announcing the winner of the swarovski crystal necklace soon!!  If you booked a consultation at the show are were eligible!

Lake City Expo:

Sign to go out front instead of the traditional “Baby Shower”

Using items to decorate that can also be a gift are “multi-purpose” for the baby shower.  Make sure you’re spelling the name right before purchasing of course  ;)   This one is from Hobby Lobby!

Thanks to The Grande Event, Rental and design company, we were able to find the perfect linens and colors to match the rest of the theme.  By giving the porch setup a little change up it allows guests to have a place to use for transition.

Remember games keep the party going… try a word scramble.  Instead of using basic words like “baby” and “diaper” throw in the moms name or baby’s name.

Very simple side table decor.  Use items that go with the food table or theme of the party in a subtle way

Antique milk jars turned into flower vase

Create an activity for the guests that they mom-to-be can enjoy after the party is over.  Here, each guest had the option of writing an note to the mom OR baby and they will be added to a book with photos from the party given by the hostess.

Another simple Game:  This one has a custom CD made by G-nys Entertainment

Simply create a play list of songs with the name “Baby” in the title
Play the song for 5 seconds or so
Each guest will be able to guess what they think the song is
Play them back when the answers are read and see who gets the most correct.

COOKIE and CAKE details from Melissa’s baby shower

Major props to Kristy from Posh pastry for this amazing cake!!   All I had to do was send her a photo of a cake I liked and she made it 100 times better!!  It also had COOKIE DOUGH FILLING!!

Also a huge thanks to The Grande Event for all the Linens!!!   The colors worked perfectly!

xoxo,  Amy

…… and the crew….
and that was after several days of no sleep.  Can you tell?!

*Some of the Builders!   The biggest Celebrities in the VIP tent of course!  These guys were great!  And slept the ‘least’ all week!   Thanks for all of your hard work!

We had a great time laying out the ideas for the tent and with her Designs it all came together beautifully!   We won’t mention the hours of design time prior to build week, but we were too excited to count them.  At the site, Day 2 is when the tent went up.  All the behind the scene things that people don’t get to always hear about we were able to be a  part of.  Between a great Locations team and IT setting us up to be fully connected we were ready to rock with all the decor!

Thank you to ALL of the tent sponsors who were a part of the VIP as well.  A shout out to OEnergy lighting and to web.com!

Check out the photos taken by Russel Martin who was there every day with all of us capturing it all!

As a wedding Coordinator I don’t usually think about working with a TV show.  However, last year when Ark Remodeling asked me to plan their Wrap and Viewing party I was eager to accept the opportunity.  THIS year when ADORE EVENTS was asked to be involved we ended up not only planning the Wrap and Viewing Parties, we were a part of the build week as well.   I had the opportunity to work with all of the Sponsors and build team as the VIP Coordinator.

If you saw the show, it was the eposide for the Brewer-Prewitt family, also known as the Brewitt family from Orange Park/Middleburg.  Carrie, the mom, adopted 3 girls (oldest was from her volleyball team).  Being adopted myself, I was touched by their story.  So many Sponsors, Volunteers and people involved in this build had a personal experience with being a part of the show and can tell their own stories.

I was grateful to meet and work with so many giving people.   Here are a few photos to share.  Tomorrow we will post the VIP Tent photos.   We could talk about how much sleep did NOT happen over several months, or living in an RV for 9 days, but overall it was a life changing experience that could never be replaced.  I am so grateful for the opportunity to Sponsor this event and enjoyed working with so many other amazing people.   Thank you to my clients and vendors who were supportive throughout the time frame.

Cheers!  -Amy

-Getting “the list” ready for VIPs

They were asked to come and be a part of the VIP tent, however, they could not sit still and wanted to help.  So grateful for our Military who always want to ‘jump right in’!!
