So for those of you who don't know I have a guilty pleasure.
Every week (when the show is airing) I get together with some girls from the ward and we watch The Bachelor.
There is just something so enjoyable about getting together and analyzing that show to pieces.
Seriously it is one of the highlights of my week.
So when these lovely ladies offered to throw me a baby shower it just had to be Bachelor themed.
Now I bet you've never seen Bachelor themed baby shower ideas show up on your pinterest feed so here is what you need to make it happen.
1. Your future child needs to be pretty much the only boy born that year in your ward. I mean this little guy is seriously going to be surrounded by girls!
2. The colors are red and black (roses and tuxes)
3. Food is centered around a cocktail party with appetizers and virgin drinks
4. Party favors and prizes are chocolates and roses
There you have it 4 steps to a Bachelor themed shower. Now hopefully my pinterest feed will be slammed with future Bachelor baby showers and you have Eliza, Stephanie, Mylia and Kaylee to thank!

The prize table.
We played a game called "Daddy Knows Best"
Ryan had to answer the questions like how long babies sleep each day, what he doesn't want to pass on to his child, how to describe my mood during pregnancy, etc.
Then I had to try to guess what he put.
The guests picked the number of questions they thought I would get right and whoever got the closest won.
It was tough!
Especially since Ryan had some pretty funny answers but I think I did pretty good.
On the show there is this room with a picture of all the Bachelorettes.
The Bachelor always goes into that room before making a decision at the rose ceremony and there is always a shot of him with a contemplating look.
So at the shower all the guests brought pictures of their daughters and I played pin the heart on the girl of my son's dreams. Haha
So I had to get a contemplative shot of me on his behalf.
The heart landed on Eliza's daughter and I think Jake chose wisely. (Seriously though he'd be lucky to end up with any of those girls!)

The shower was a success and I had a lot of fun!
I may have to drive to Madison every week to keep watching the show with these girls when we move.
A big thanks to Eliza, Kaylee, Mylia, Stephanie and my mom for all their hard work and planning!
