A few weeks back I helped a friend Joan throw together a simple, but fun “Breakfast for Dinner” Birthday Party for a mutual friend, Ryan.
His only requests were “Bacon and something with Chocolate for dessert.”
I’ve decided to create a new “series” here on A Well Crafted Party.
(Series tend to help keep me on track with my posting…)
So, welcome to the very first
{Working on It Wednesday}
This series will be featured on Wednesdays (duh) and will include inspiration boards and projects for upcoming parties… parties that I am “working on.”
~*~
So, with no further ado… one of the parties that I’ve been working on is a
Beer Before Baby
Party for my hubby
So, while I’m enjoying a fun baby shower he will get a party all for him and his friends to taste beers and gather advice on how to be a father. I figured he’d have some fun with a beer tasting with friends before he has to come straight home every evening to be with me and an infant. 🙂
Why did I decide on beer? Well, the boy LOVES beer. He loves it so much that he dabbles in home-brewing and blogging about home-brewing. (Check it out… we’re a blogging family)
I’ve been working on the {INSPIRATION} for this party and keeping track of everything on Pinterest.
My new FAVORITE social networking site.
BTW… if you don’t follow me on Pinterest and want to please do—I’d love to follow you.

Pinterest Board for Beer Before Baby Party:
Some of my favorites from the board above:
Think the hubby will take a photo like this? Probably not… but, maybe with a little bit of a change I can get something similar!
I LOVE this party that was featured on Pizzazzerie.com
I think I need to buy this print for the party and the guest of honor!
One of my favorite photographers recently did photos of local breweries for a job and her blog… I can’t wait to buy a few prints for the party!
Thanks for visiting the blog today and I hope you like the

Thank you to everyone who responded to last week’s {Mommy Monday} Recent Reads.
I really enjoyed the responses and am excited to pick up a few of those books suggested!
So, I have approximately 13 weeks before baby.
(if he arrives on his due date that is…)
YIKES!!!
I need to get things ready! I think I just now hit that time they call “Nesting.”
I’ve been planning out his room the past few weeks, but am just now getting around to doing something about it. This weekend I bought paint samples, material for his crib sheets, and organized the clothes we have into plastic bins. I also started going through ALL of my entertaining supplies trying to condense them into one closet instead of the three that they are currently in.
Theme
We decided to go with a vintage(ish) robot theme for the nursery.
(Which I’m SUPER excited about.)
Paint Samples
Like I said…. I went to Home Depot over the weekend and hmm’d and haw’d over paint chips for a while. I ended up buying three samples for wall paint and then brought home some paint chips of the colors I’d like to feature as accents throughout the room.
The colors look a little distorted from what they actually look like on the wall. I think we’ve decided on the middle color (a light grey) for the walls with the yellow, blue, green and orange as accent colors. (Although… not as dark as they are pictured.)
I bought orange material to make a few crib sheets—I’m super excited to use the crib sheet tutorial from Prudent Baby to sew up a few sheets for the little man’s bed.
