I helped put together a surprise baby shower for a friend of mine last weekend and I was so excited when we decided on the theme of Harry Potter – because, as you probably know by now, I’ll take any excuse to through a Harry Potter party ;)
I worked with two other girls to put this together and they had some great ideas and I think we put together a great party! It was SO fun to put together such a fun surprise!
This was at the front door when our Mom-to-be got home
They really had the perfect house for all my decorations from our surprise party for my sister-in-law last year – they had the perfect doorway for the train platform brick wall :)
You stepped through the platform and found yourself at Hogwarts, just in time for the feast!
And what a feast we had!
I took the opportunity to make more Harry Potter cookies :)
My cupcakes were rather ill-fated…we were given a temporary passcode to get into the house to decorate and I was the first one to get there. But I couldn’t get the keypad to work! As I attempted to get it to work, I ended up putting down my carrier full of cupcakes onto the ground to try again, but bumped something on the way down, and spilled half my cupcakes over themselves!! :( I was able to salvage most of them, but then later when we were all set up and waiting for the shower to start, one of our floating candles fell off the ceiling…right onto the cupcakes!! Oh well, they still tasted good!
One of the girls got a copy of the first Harry Potter book to use as the guest book – isn’t that such a fun idea?!
And some fun favors for our guests!
I think everyone had a great time chatting and eating and showering our cute mom-to-be with gifts. Yay for baby girls!! :)
