Cu-Tea Boba Baby Shower

Baby Fujitaki # 3 is on his way!

My brother, Kyle, and my sister-in-law, Viet-Linh, are having their third child and…drum roll, please…it’s a boy! Needless to say, his arrival is much anticipated, especially since Kyle already has two daughters, Adelyn and Quinn, and my older sister, Kristen, has two daughters too, Maleeya and Amaya, so now we are welcoming a little boy — name to be announced —  into the nibling crew, just to shake things up a bit. Our whole family is over the moon excited for him to join us!

Summer baby showers in Southern California are difficult. The temperature here can get pretty high and for this mid-summer shower, as temperatures approached 100 degrees, we definitely melted a bit, but we had lots of boba and ice tea to try to keep us cool. We also kept the party small and shorter (only a couple hours) to try to keep everyone in the shade of the canopies. We strung some misters for the kids to cool down next to as they ran around, while also keeping them entertained with bubble tea coloring sheets, a game of pin the boba on the milk tea, and balloon animals, plus nice and cool with popsicles and lots of ice! 

I want to thank Kristen for going along with my obscure ideas while bringing my boba baby shower vision to life. Her beautiful decorations — boba balloon art and cu-tea banner — added a fun and whimsy touch to tie into the boba bar for our theme. Special thanks to my husband, Brandon, for doing what he always does, which includes helping me make all the food and put everything together.

We’ve planned many baby showers, but we really did hit this one out of the park. It took about two weeks to just gather all the supplies, plates and other serveware for the boba station, but now we have it all on hand. Boba party anyone?

We are so excited to welcome our nephew into this world! We can’t wait to meet him — he is so loved already! <3 Thanks for joining us in the celebration. Times have been unpredictable and tough, so we are so happy we were able to get together and share this joyful moment with one another.

Nothing like food and fun to uplift the spirits!

Cheers,
