Tiffany & Co. Themed Baby Shower for Our Lovely Stacy!

Porter Valley County Club recently hosted a Tiffany & Co. themed baby shower for our very own Membership Relations Director, Stacy, to celebrate her soon to be born baby boy William. Stacy was welcomed by many Porter Valley Members & employees, including our General Manager, Gene Miller, who braved the almost all women crowd to show his support.

We all had a great time preparing for the party, although I had one hour of sleep making the Tiffany & Co. (or in this case, Stacy & Co.) cookie favors, but it was all worth it for this smile! :)
I tied in the theme further with centerpieces that I wrapped in teal paper & added a white ribbon with white hydrangeas on top to resemble a Tiffany & Co. gift box
The banquet staff did a gorgeous job setting up the room with white linen & fanned out teal napkins in each water cup 
We added a bit of teal lighting around the room & spotlighting the cake to make the party look fabulous. I think it was a fun touch & our lighting packages are very reasonably priced so everyone should consider adding a little color to their parties. With just a few uplights & spotlights you can really warm up & transform a room (the camera doesn't do it justice, but in person it makes a big difference).

No baby shower is complete without some fun, baby themed games for the guests to compete in. Here is Stacy with the winners of our three games: Baby Scrabble, How Many Kisses in the Baby Bottle, and Guess Mommy's Belly Size. Congrats! The guests all won gift cards to Cold Stone's Creamery, a suitable prize for a party celebrating an expectant mother; surely every mother-to-be has had ice cream cravings! ;)
Although Stacy was showered with tons of cute & useful gifts, including the stroller & car seat from her registry that the Porter Valley Department heads all chipped in to get her, the most wonderful thing was how many Members & staff came to show her their love & support. I'm sure she will have tons of excited babysitters for Baby Will when the time comes for a break!


The Private Events Department (Ana, aka me, your party loving blogger, on the left & Julie, our awesome Private Events Director, on the right) were so thrilled to put this together for one of our fav office girls. She totally deserved such a great celebration & we can't wait to meet Baby Will!

Congrats Stacy!

Cute & Creative Baby Shower For Katherine

The weather has been really nice, but almost too hot here in Porter Valley, CA. What better time to come inside to cool off & enjoy a luncheon with your favorite women?
One of our members, Lu, sponsored her niece Angela so she could host her daughter-in-law Katherine's baby shower at our club. Angela planned every last detail to perfection to help Katherine prepare for the arrival of her baby girl.
Of course the linen of choice was pink for the baby shower...
But you have to see these centerpieces! Each one contained items the mommy would need for her baby at different stages (this basket was for the baby when she's 6 months). So all the basics were covered before Katherine even opened the first gift from her guests. Plus it doubled as a cute centerpiece. Genius!

Here's what it looked like with the table set...Instead of spending the money on flowers, this centerpiece will give the mommy something she can actually use for the year to come.
I'm telling you ladies, this is the way to go! Great thinking Angela!
To me, no party is complete without a yummy cake (I didn't get to try this one, but I have to control myself from tasting all of them with all the parties we have here or I will start to look pregnant! :) Yikes! Good thing we have a nice gym here too!)
A gift table at the entrance is always a smart choice, so guests can drop their presents off on the way to their tables. I am sure Katherine is even more excited to welcome her new bundle of joy with all the sweet baby girl gifts she received.
Congratulations to you & your family Katherine!

We can't wait to meet your baby soon & hope she felt all the love you were showered with at your party.
