baby shower NA style

so, i was fortunate enough to help host a baby shower for a friend here. in getting ready for the shower it was fun trying to explain our baby shower to my local friends, who are a people that celebrate the baby after he/she is born.

the happy couple is getting ready to head back to the States and have decided to do their baby room up north African style--how cool!
so, we tried to make the shower all decorated NA style.

we had some delicious punch and many other tasty drinks.
we also had many sweet little shower foods. the tortilla roll-ups were a hot item for sure! we had two cakes, veggies, a snack mix, and a nice jello dessert--lots of tasty foods for sure!

i finally got my stamps in the mail and was able to stamp up these goodie bags for the winners of our shower games. it was a lot of fun. i also stamped the happy momma some thank you cards for her gift--i did half saying thank you and the other half saying merci.

as part of the decor we hung these cute NA outfits. they are having a girl, so these outfits doubled as decor and gifts for the baby!
we had a good group of ladies come and join us. it was really a lot of fun. this is momma's first baby, so it was a special time to share with her--her first baby shower ever!

it is so fun to be able to celebrate provisions and people. very grateful for sure!
