“Leia….I am your father!”

These were the words my hubby was so excited to share with our little girl. For those who have seen my Star Grad posts, you know how much of a Star Wars fan he is. You can imagine his excitement to hear that I wanted to name our baby girl Leah. For the record, I was not inspired by the movie franchise but have always loved the biblical name. To top it off, the name begins with the letter “L”, just like me. In the end, we settled on the Star Wars pronunciation but with the biblical spelling.

When it was time to plan our baby shower my brother immediately suggested we have a Princess Leia themed shower. I thought it was brilliant! We knew early on that it would be a co-ed shower so the theme would make it fun for everyone. We opted for a brunch menu since that was my favorite meal of the day. Some guests even came wearing their favorite Star Wars shirt, talk about getting into the party spirit! I have never seen so many grown men oohing and ahhing at details or decorations and jumping in to join the shower games.

Party Highlights:

• Custom Princess Leia cake topper and star wars themed dessert table
• Furry Ewoks made from large teddy bears
