Father to be: Albert, Mother to be: Ivette, Me,
Amy: Auntie to be and of course my little helper, Alyssa
Finally, after 30 years of friendship with Lilia, Mary (my
cousin) and I get to do something for her!
Every detail was beyond amazing.
Tasks:
Husband Jorge made the Sails for
flower arrangements.
Mary and Lilia worked on the flowers and set up of all the
tables.
Table setting and flowers by Mary & Lilia
Lilia decorated the table with the fish net, starfish and all things beautiful!
Did I mention? Well, the event took place at Marys house; pool side.
Maria, our good friend,
who by the by ...we repeat to exhaustion that "she wears many hats" is worth a Million. Her job was
to organize the games. She also dressed up in black & white for laughs and served the
food.
Ana, my niece made killer “Peach Bellini’s.
I handled desserts.
..
Anthony's Aunt- to-be handled the beautiful Sign In Book and the little
keepsakes we placed on the chargers.
Mary and Lilia create flowers arrangements for weddings, events etc. They have a unique style.
If you ever need them let me know.
Everyone was involved! An added surprise was the arrival of Ivette’s
Baby sister, not exactly a baby anymore, from the land of San Francisco to be with
the family. OMG! It was so unique!
And what can I say about the deliciously
amazing Menu:
Mary and Lilia made their famous Shrimp and Chicken
Lasagnas.
Maria dished out a tasty Caesar salad.
Lilia made whipped up Salmon pate....
I made the
little tags in the shape of sailboats and whales using my cookie cutters.
I made the new family-to-be Mini Cakes decorated in nautica.
One for each member: Grandmother & Father, one for each of the Aunts and
Uncle.
Funny, here we go again.. they all said to they were too cute to eat. Nice!
I made little cake pops in oval shapes and placed them on the cake pop sticks to make them look like sailboats. I made all the
sugar decorations found on the cupcakes; this way everyone could distinguish the different flavors: guava, coconut and
pineapples . .
The gift table had a world made out of moss with a
little airplane flying around the bottom as a center piece flower arrangement. .
Sidebar: Maria was pure entertainment aside from the games, food
serving and the raffles! What a hoot!
The answer is: Yes! We stayed behind to clean up - Happily!
Lilia is a forever friend and has always been there for us all in every way - a lifetime of events!
At last we were able to give some love back!
Nancy,you are commited to perfection! Wow!What else can I say but gorgeous!!!!!!!
