Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails

As I mentioned in my last post, I am a month away from being an aunt for the first time.  If you know our family at all, we are obsessed with dogs, so it was only perfect that the theme be "Snips and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails."  With the help of my co-hostess, my Mom, and a lot of work from Danny and my Dad, we were able to create a pretty amazing baby shower.  We had around 60 people, lots of food, drinks, baby stuff and of course our wonderful family and friends!



Delicious cookies from our favorite, Ashley's Bakery, in Oakwood, OH!





Who says people can't eat out of dog bowls??

Our Signature Drink, created by Mixologist Scotty Holland: The Baby Bliss

Our give away, puppy chow!  I hand made the labels with the help from Paper Source.






Personalized cigars- with a surprise for one lucky winner, which turned out to be the Daddy-to-be!

 



We had a station to fill out wishes and advice for parents and baby.  Complete with silver dog pens!

I know my brother and Katie will be amazing parents and I can't wait to meet Baby Shempp at Thanksgiving!  Thanks to my mom for all the help and support during this shower- we put on a great party!
