Awesome Nestie Help Please!
Im planning a party and I need some inspiration. What are your favorite websites for the party must haves and ideas?
To be more specific its a mommy shower, (her third baby) so Im wanting to stay away typical baby shower and focusing on the mom with about 10 women. We are trying to go Italian Bistro theme with italian food served family style, but I dont want to be cheesy. Any thoughts.. from invitations to party decor and favors. When I googled italian bistro party they showed plastic grapes 
Thanks!

Hostess with the Mostess is one of my faves!
Rarely Updated Blog
That's what I would have recommended. I also loke to take inspiration from wedding blogs, too. Usually they are not cheesy. I love this website.

Not sure about websites, but you might check Vespaio on S. Congress for ideas for food and drink. My friend who lived in Rome for years (just got back) says that the popular drink is Aperol spritzer. Aperol is like Campari, but not as bitter. It's really good. Just mix some with sparkling water and ice. But not for pregnant people.
