Harry Potter Baby Shower

Never thought I'd see those 4 words together. But when my sis Tara (just a mild Harry Potter fan....not!) mentioned that she'd love to have a Harry-themed baby shower I was thinking "that is the weirdest thing I've ever heard" . . . until I looked on pinterest and found like, a TON of Harry Potter baby showers! Who knew?!?! Not me! So anyways, Pinterest made our job easy here. Sorry, if you haven't seen or read Harry Potter this won't make any sense to you.

First, a stunning (and slightly creepy) picture of the Momma-to-be


Amazing invites designed by Megan


The front door, platform 9 3/4. Made from paint samples. (thanks, Home Depot!)

The favors

Treat table

Hayley's beautiful banner (if you only knew what it took to get it there! Hayley you are a rock star!!!)

There is another long story behind these golden snitches. But it is not mine to tell..... it's Andrea's! She did a great job with them though. And the banner garland I did.... there was way more but I didn't take any more pictures of it.

Mom did the pretzels.... oh wait, I mean ShopKo did the pretzels..... :) Known as wands here of course.

The best sugar cookies I've ever tasted, made by Hayley






Pumpkin Juice and Butterbeer

Ok yes, we did end up dressing up. At the very last second. Andrea did a great job rounding up outfits for the 3 of us! Although I was mildly insulted when everyone realized I looked like the actual Harry Potter?!?  And the baby Hayley's holding.... ???? We did play Baby Hot Potato so there was a reason it was there! It's just funny!

Tara got to wear the "Sorting Hat" while she opened gifts. She got a lot! Hope you had fun, sis. We love you and are so excited for Baby Siddoway to make her appearance in just a few short weeks!!!
