Kamo's Baby Shower
The most precious event we have ever planned… our founder’s baby shower. Read all about the gender neutral, inspirational event that brought together family and friends for an unforgettable afternoon.
This event is one of the most precious event's we've had the pleasure of planning... The Soirée Company's founder, Kim Trehan's baby shower. Her real name is Kanwalpreet and she's called Kamo by her loved ones so we titled this one Kamo's Baby Shower.
For those who know her, Kamo's style is a mix of Bollywood + Paris + New York so her family had a challenge in terms of creating the perfect design and day for Kamo. As they wanted to make this a gender reveal party as well, the colors had to be gender neutral. We chose yellow, grey and gold as our colours. No details were spared! Little baby carriages were ordered to hold mint and yellow favour bags had blue loofahs (as the bags would be handed out after the reveal of a little baby boy on the way) and of course, Kernel's Popcorn.
An area for photos was setup at the entrance to double as a welcome and a neat place for the ladies to take pictures. A Mom-osa bar of virgin mimosa's was also setup at the front of the room. Inside, we had long tables decorated with floral runners and vases. The vases were decorated with diapers and yellow ribbon and placed baby's breath in each vase.
Then we had food and cake. Kamo's favourite food items, including Gol Gappes and Papdi Chaat (Indian street food) were ordered as well as an array of flavourful items from Emelle's catering. Our friends at ShowShaa were kind enough to lend us their Gol Gappa serving trays. Thank you guys!!

I saved our favorite gift for last. Vera Wang's Embrace Collection is just perfect for Mom for everyday use.
But, at the end of the day, the perfect gift for Mom is that her children visit her often, give her lots hugs and kisses, call her daily, raid her refrigerator and show her what a fine young man or lady she's raised.
I hope you enjoyed some of these picks! Share your gift ideas for a chance to win a $50 Visa Giftcard! Winners will be drawn on Mother's Day by my Mom and posted on our Instagram Page: https://www.instagram.com/soiree_vancouver/
