Ooh La la!!

Thanks to my incredible mother who finally decided on the "Parisian" shower theme for the party we are throwing next month. I am not kidding when I tell you that I have multiple folders with inspiration for various themed parties, which I add to daily. My Bestie threw my shower last year and made a million of these "Martha-esqe" Pom poms in hot pink and white. She made hers with rounded edges and they looked incredible. I whipped up a few last night and I am sticking with a baby pink and black color scheme throughout. I cut the edges to a point, I thought it made it look more "fru fru", like a boa?? We are going to use lots of these, White Christmas lights and some big feathers (hoping to find some like in the picture below) with fresh flowers for centerpieces. I need to find a wire Eiffel tower, and I am hoping I can, I feel like I see them all the time but that just means since I am looking now, no such thing will exist.

Lastly, I am going to continue to make macaroons (even if it kills me) but I might not use them as favors. I feel like they are too much work to package up and risk the chance of getting thrown out or crushed in someones pocketbook. I will still make some for the shower, so a tower of them can be put out, however I was thinking of doing something else for favors. Little French milled soaps. What do you think?? I found some really cute pink heart soaps (of course they were noodle and boo and $15 a pop-Go figure) but I would love to find less expensive ones and package them up with a tag saying something like "Thank you for coming..A gift from soandsos Shower to yours"??

Hope everyone has a great day! Au Revoir:)
