Event Planning: This Baby Shower Is Modern and Sophisticated

We assume you’re all familiar with Max and Margaux Wanger? The beautiful duo behind Max & Friends? Yes, well, they’re having a baby boy in a few weeks (who will also undoubtably be gorgeous), and lucky for all of us, the ladies of Bash, Please threw them a sweet little shower to celebrate. It’s simple and perfect and really all that anyone needs to properly shower a mama-to-be with love. And pressies.

Nothing that screams BOY, but it’s seems like the little mister would feel right at home here.

Cute cake from Charm City Cakes West, no?

Love this idea for a baby shower game! And hey, if any of you have ideas, feel free to share in the comments. Bet M+M would appreciate it. And dreaming up baby names is such a fun way to pass the time.

#2 - *Magical* is the only way to describe the next wedding, in an elaborate treehouse setting in a California forest - even with a musical babbly brook flowing nearby. An oversized mosquito netting protects the woodland treats, and a formal forest reception with to-die-for desserts couldn't be more amazing.
