Robot Shower, Food and Decorations

My sisters threw me a rocking awesome shower on June 22nd.  So rocking awesome that I'm going to need multiple posts to do it justice!  Today is focused on the food and decorations.

Disclaimer: Several of these pictures were taken by Jodi, so I have to give her some of the credit for helping me document the day.

Jill and Kara stuck to a pool blue and lime green motif, which perfectly represented a) I'm having a boy (plus, there was no Carolina blue in sight) and b) it's a shower for me.  In case you didn't know, I'm a fan of pool blue and lime green.  They were two of the five colors in our wedding.

pool blue dresses and lime green hydrangeas... yep, definitely colors I like

The door:
Awesome.

Jodi took this picture... maybe my aunt Carol was in charge of decorating the door?

Entryway/Dining Room:
Don't you love those tissue puff balls?

The living room:
This is where we spent most of our time, and I thought looked great, especially in my blue and green living room!

Robots:
The nursery is robot-themed (there, I let the cat out of the bag), so Mom and Jodi both made little robots.

Mom's robot, made out of Popoid toys

Food: 

Thanks to Jill and Jodi's creativity (and a lot of inspiration from Pinterest), all of the food was robot-themed.

"Some Assembly Required" chicken salad (we used the romaine leaves as chicken salad boats)

"Nuts and Bolts" Chex Mix

"Assorted Sprockets" gear-shaped fruits

"Computer Bytes" cheeses, crackers, and meats

"Microchips" bagel chips and hummus

"Screws and Gears" rotini and wagon-wheel pasta salad

"Refueling Station" for punch (ginger ale and pineapple juice)

The Cupcakes:
From the beginning of planning, Jill and Kara said they wanted cupcakes for the shower.  Since I'm the only one who lives in Raleigh, that meant Jason and I were responsible for taste-testing all the cupcake shops in the area.  After lots of failed/lackluster locations, Jill went with Edible Art off of Hillsborough Street.  They were tasty and super adorable!
