I lead a small group Bible study on Tuesday evenings.
One of the girls in our group, Holly, is pregnant with her first baby, a little boy.
(I've actually known Holly my whole life, and we reconnected when we were in the same Junior League provisional class!)
Holly already had several showers with friends and coworkers where she received all the big necessities.
Our Bible study group wanted her to know how much she's loved, though.
I decided it would be cute to throw Holly a simple, "Onesie Showerette."
We did a potluck breakfast at my apartment, and everyone gifted Holly with a new baby boy outfit.
It was simple & sweet, and I think Holly had a lovely time. It was a great success!

Blue & green were my colors for the event. I love masculine colors paired with feminine decor.
Whenever I host a party at my place, I basically walk around the apartment and pick things up to decorate with.
I grabbed the birds off my mantle, the flour jar that I filled with apples, candles from the coffee table, mason jars from the kitchen, and a little vase from the bedroom.
As always, I have a champagne coupe at each place setting,
as well as little water glass that I fill ahead of time for every guest.
I already had these apples for my weekly snack. Use what you have!
I spent $10 and bought green and white stock flowers from the grocery store,
which I placed in mason jars & other vases of mine.
Never underestimate how pretty stock flowers can look when you arrange them properly!
A sweet little vase from Anthropologie that I've had for years!
Mantle birds.
I have this sweet moss-covered bunny from Easter, which I placed on top of Baby Proof for a baby shower look.
Holly's nursery has an elephant theme, so elephant shortbread cookies were a must!
I stayed up 'til 1 a.m. the night before icing these little darlings.
Oh, how I love a gingham napkin.
Fiji, orange juice, glass bottled Coca-Cola and Vanilla Frapps...
Everyone opted for the punch, though!
All the Bible study girls brought one dish each.
Elyse made a lovely fruit salad.
Katherine baked perfect blueberry muffins.
Amy made a fan favorite: Pig-in-a-Blankets!
A classy cheese tray from Charlotte
We also had quiche, as well as the yummiest bread!
For desserts?
Cupcakes from... yours truly, of course.
I also dished out a little blue cotton candy.
... and of course a selection of Blue Bell ice cream flavors!
What is cake without ice cream?
The hot momma to be! FOUR DAYS before her delivery date!
Laura, Charlotte, Holly, Amy & Katherine
Holly & me
I highly recommend having a "Onesie Showerette" if you want to throw an apartment-size baby shower!
It was easy to plan & turned out quite darling, if I do say so myself!
We love you, Holly, and can't wait to meet the little man soon!
