Yellow and Black Buzzing Bee Coed Garden Baby Shower

After reading an article about actress Ali Larter’s yellow and black baby shower, Sue decided that she loved colors and theme and decided make it more fitting of her own personal style.  She choose a co-ed(!) baby shower because she did not make this baby alone. Aww! “My husband and his friends deserved to be part of our special day.”

Yellow and black smiling bees were buzzing around the 90 guests at Sue’s bee garden baby shower. The colors followed all the décor of the shower, including Sue’s special chair, a loveseat where she and her husband and sat and opened our gifts. Don’t you love how dad Juan coordinated his shirt?!

The giant yellow and black candy table featured chocolate “Yellow It’s a Boy” lollipops, coconut and guava lollipops (“from my parents native country of the Dominican Republic”), Lemon Heads, Wint-O-Green Life Savers, yellow and black balls we also had candy bars with a customized label. A black and yellow “Sweets” banner hung across the front o fit.

Don’t you love their customized candy wrappers?

All the bees were swarming the tiered fondant cake. The top hive tier was red velvet, but colored in blue. The bottom tier was checkered yellow and chocolate cake both with cream cheese frosting. For the gentleman they were expecting, fondant bow tie was created on one layer. The cake stand read “Parents to Bee”.

The favors were eco flower favors.  Inside the box was a bio pot with a soil pellet. A “green” gift made entirely from recycled materials.  The card read: “Thank you for sharing our “growing memories”. Please plant these seeds for a greener tomorrow.”

A little bee named Noah Jaxson was born in September 2011, weighing in at 7lbs 9 oz. Congrats Sue and Juan!
