Thank you for all the comments on the shower! It was a joy to put together all the details and to host! Just wanted to clarify a few of the comments above:

- The Dessert Buffet was to feed guests (adults) as well as serve as the "favor" as I had cello bags and pink twist ties set up on the table for goody bags.

- I definitely think that a dessert or candy bar at child's event could be excessive in regards to sugar consumption, however, there are always creative ways to bake with agave nectar and gluten free flours, include fruit and veggies in fun ways, etc. I think the whole concept of the dessert bar is a fun focal point for any event and can be whatever you want it to be! From savory to sweet and everything in between!

- Unfortunately, one of the down-sides of hosting at a restaurant is the fact that I didn't have control over things like the linens not being ironed (provided by the restaurant, who's staff was...not the most competent unfortunately). But the upside to having it at a restaurant versus somebody's home is you don't really have to clean before/after and you and your guests are served! So I felt like a guest and could enjoy my friends shower just as much as everyone else.

Thanks again for sharing your thoughts! If you'd like to see more images from the event, check out the photographers blog: http://www.elliegrover.com/blog
