It was an outdoor event with 10 of my closest friends and family per seating on my friend Kyla’s front lawn. They enlisted the help of some of my favourite local businesses and like I said before, it was even more beautiful than I ever imagined it could be. It was intimate, beautiful, thoughtful. Absolutely perfect in every way. Leave it to Tia, you all know her as Lady Getz, Dawna, and Kyla to make a Covid event better than any event pre Covid.

Here are the local businesses they enlisted to make the shower a huge success!

Special Event Rental– You name it, they have it! I was first introduced to them when they helped my friend Tia with the decor for her event Passion + Purpose. They completely knocked it out of the park, they completely transformed the space and brought her vision to life and they did the exact same thing with my baby shower. They have everything you could imagine to transform any space or to bring your vision to life. Weddings, baby showers, wedding showers, events.  You name it, they can help! I highly suggest checking out their website and Instagram!

Balloon Bar YQR– I have been seeing these beautiful balloon arches all over Instagram and I am obsessed with them. So the fact that I had one at my shower was just the best! This work of art was the perfect backdrop and made for the most Instagramable photos which is obviously important to me! 12/10 recommend contacting Balloon Bar YQR for your next event!

Hillberg & Berk –  Thanks to Hillberg & Berk every one of my guests was spoiled with Adore Stud earrings! They’re so beautiful and make the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. They also spoiled me with a beautiful gold charm necklace that has my birthstone, Lee’s birthstone, and a charm that says Mama! They have since sent me Dane’s birthstone and a beautiful D to complete the necklace. It is so pretty but also holds so much sentiment. Thank you so much Hillberg & Berk for thoughtful gift and for making my guests feel as special as they are.

Sweet Street Cakes– I am not new to Angie and her gorgeous cakes, she makes my niece Isla’s birthday cakes every year and does an unreal job! Because of Covid the sweets all had to be individually wrapped and she did such a great job of making everything look cute even while being wrapped.  Of course, everything tasted unbelievable too!

Callia Flowers– If you have been around here for some time then you may be familiar with Callia! They deliver the most beautiful flowers to your doorstep. They are super affordable, last forever, and of course are beautiful! They deliver in Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, Ontario, British Columbia and the Maritimes!

Caitlin Swyryda Photo– Last but not least my girl Caitlin! Caitlin has been my go to photographer for aa few years now. I call her anytime I have an exciting launch or a big partnership coming out and she is always so happy to help.  The girls asked her to be the photographer for the day so I could sit back and just enjoy the event. I love sharing with you all but it can be tricky to be present while creating content.  Thank you Caitlin for capturing the beauty of this party and letting me enjoy myself! Love you!

Last but not least the visionaries behind the event my beautiful friends. I cannot imagine my life without you in it. Tia, Kyla, and Dawna you are truly the best friends I could ever ask for. I am so lucky to have you by my side as I enter the crazy world of motherhood. Love you!!!

ANYWAYS,  I had the pleasure of hosting her baby shower.  This is the first time I have thrown an “event” like this and so I was a little intimidated to say the least.  I love entertaining and hosting but this was just a little different.  I wanted it to be chill but also beautiful and most importantly I wanted the food to be delicious.  If there is anything Dawna (& Taylor) care about when it comes to a party it’s the food.  I had 30 people R.S.V.P and I instantly began to sweat thinking about the food portion of hosting.  The shower was mid June, and for any teachers who follow me, you know what mid June is like, CHAOTIC to say the least.  How was I going to pull this one off?!

Enter Sprout catering, Jssel and Haley.  These two legit saved the day and made me look like I had my s&*t together.  I simply told them how many people I was going to be having and I left the rest in their hands and it was honestly the best decision I have ever made!!  They showed up about an hour before the event to set up and had everything out, organized and looking beautiful by the time the guests starting arriving.  They brought everything they needed from the dishes right down to the mini spoons in the dips!

The food was absolutely everything I wanted it to be! Delicious, beautiful, and most importantly it wasn’t the typical cream cheese appetizer that I always resort to.  If you follow my Insta stories I’m sure you saw the cream puffs with some sort of Mango goodness on top, oh my heavens… SO FREAKING GOOD!!! Yup… there were leftovers and I may or may not have ate 4 the next day #whoops 

Another favourite were the baguettes topped with whipped goat cheese, strawberries, basil, sprinkled with pistachios… okay, I’m salivating just thinking about them! OH, and the cheeseball… seriously I don’t know what was in it but it was not your regular cheeseball, it was AMAZEBALLS haha, get it?!

Hosting a shower? 50th birthday party, heck even a wedding?! Do yourself a favour and call these women!!! They started Sprout 4 years ago they’re absolutely killing it. Sprout caters to any event big or small.  They also rent out their adorable space which is the best, nothing like the panic clean before hosting, jeesh! For more information, including price check out their website, here!

Not hosting a party but your tummy is growling after reading this post?  Perfect! Head down to their restaurant/cafe downtown located in the Viterra building,  next to Cathedral Social Hall.  They’re open from Monday to Friday from 7:30am – 3:30!

Special thanks to Jes Ripplinger from petite studio for the beautiful photos! You can follow her on Instagram for the cutest feed ever!

Stay tuned for a follow up post where I will be sharing the theme of the shower! I will be sharing my hosting & decor tips… stay tuned!
