Yay for Ange's Baby!!!

I've been a part of the events industry for awhile now, the bu and I started out in college when I used to staff for a few events with the bu's sis-in-law.

we were all on board for the first 5 runs MYOH Manila.

After I resigned from my teaching position, I transitioned from being a part-time staff to being full on staff. 

got my co-teachers to help out in events too! With teacher KM!

My first event, these girls turned out to be awesome friends. :D

It was a lot of fun and you learn a lot of things in the process. Although let me tell you, working in events is not all party...it's a whole lot of hard work and a quick short party in the end. But if you're like me and you're into instant gratification, yes, yes laugh it out nothing wrong with that statement then working in events would be perfect because at the end of the day you get to see all your ideas and hard work come to life. In the end all that blood, sweat and tears would be worth it! :D

I love the EM girls. :D      

So after that extensive intro, let me get to the meat of the subject. A few months back a really good childhood friend of mine told us that she was pregnant! yaaaay! You must understand, I've known this friend since we were in Kinder. Yup, kinder. So you can imagine the happiness and excitement there when someone you knew as a child is about to have a child of her own. It's...surreal. haha

just a year ago she was getting married!

So she asked a friend and myself if we could  get together and work on her baby shower with her. Her surprise baby shower! hahaha...Of course we immediately said yes! How exciting is it to plan a baby shower for someone you've known for most of your life. So after our preliminary meeting where we decided on the theme and the pegs for the shower, we went our separate lives and well, sadly work ate me up. Yes, I have been a workaholic again lately. I don't like it but it's true. :(( we all must sacrifice a little. :D

Now here's the other thing, the dates kept getting moved around and I must admit it became quite hard to keep up. I was doing too many things and juggling too many responsibilities that I lost track of the date. It's a good thing my partner Ele had my back. We planned, printed and put together an awesome baby shower. Of course we couldn't have done it without the help of everyone who pitched in! :D oh and of course all those hours I wasted on pinterest was put to good use too!

Let me share with you a few photos...

no, that is not a ball, that is a pregnant woman's belly...
and those giant blue balls are her boobs

when we decided on a theme my friend had these balls made
Ele and I strung them up one row at a time...

awesome printables are awesome. :D
Cupcakes by Ernaline's Food Haven

These cupcake toppers were so adorable we had make them!

ah pinterest, thank you for this idea.

the table cloth came from the caterer, Ange's shobe helped us with the centerpiece
We made "wishes for baby" paper for guests to write on

giveaways! :D
Ele had the hardest time mixing in those blue balls, yes I said blue balls

We had a blast, the food was plentiful enough to feed a 100 people when there were barely 30 of us...but the best part, the games. Initially Ele and I were hesitant, we weren't sure how many people would actually join. But since there were only a few of us we ended up with only 2 teams! :D Both competitive but of course the girls were at an advantage since they are girls. Which obviously means we totally rock more than the guys do. 

In the end, the party was a blast, we just kept laughing and squealing the entire time. So congratulations Ange and Dave! :D Can't wait for the little bundle of joy to come out! weeee!
