VLOG: host a fruit-themed, crafty, DIY baby shower with me. (trying to handmake as much as possible)

[@MichelJanse]

It was such a fun challenge to try and DIY/upcycle as much as I could for this shower :,) (Here is a reel of it if you want to save it for future parties too! instagram.com/p/C_JqlfNyCLf/) And of course, here are links and stamps for my mobile pals

[@katrinaf9952]

You could even save the dried oranges for holiday decor. 🎄😊

[@rachelmeade9307]

I hope your friends appreciate all the work that went into that! What a beautiful party, and thoughtful friend! ❤️

[@hawaali2851]

Exactly what I want to say ❤

[@jillr759]

Wow that’s one expensive shower! I hope your friends appreciate you and your generosity!

[@megand576]

Funny story- I normally watch your videos while I nurse my daughter and my son 3 year old plays with Lego. Today he shouted “ is that your KZbin lady??!” 🤣

[@MichelJanse]

HAHHA! Aw🥹

[@jaynicolehart1]

Hahah similar to this… my husband will hear my videos on and say “Hi Michel” hahaha❤

[@leizygatos7139]

Aw I do the same! I give myself a break n watch michel while breastfeed and my 3yo have his quiet time 💕

[@roxanneflores2517]

@@MichelJanseMy 7 year old daughter would ask me every time “is that your favorite girl? Michel Janis? “ 😂❤️

[@kelsiemcduffie8319]

My husband always says “oh it’s that girl talking again?” 😂😂 don’t worry I defend you Michel

[@juliewells4282]

Michel! You should write a book on how to host events/parties. I would totally buy it!!! ❤

[@therooteddietitian]

YES!!!! I just commented the same! She would make an amazing, thoughtful book on this!

[@kaitlynsmith4162]

Me too!!

[@mae.c7]

YESSS this!!!

[@firesidechatswithkristy677]

The ending with the song was absolutely gold. Incredible!

[@heatherjoslin8291]

Why in the world is nobody helping you host?

[@aksez2u]

She loves to host and entertain! Maybe she's rather just do it herself? A lot of work, though.

[@valerie1957]

What an absolutely amazing shower! The world is waiting for you to do this for them!

[@juliewells4282]

With all the skills you have in event planning and nutrition and cooking, you could totally have a business planning events for people! You’re so creative and talented Michel!!! 😊

[@threemusketeers4109]

Michel you are such a gifted host! You can see your natural ability to plan and execute a great venue. What a blessing you are to all those around you! ❤

[@haileyventimiglia5691]

Beautiful! What is your average budget for these parties?

[@chrissiedcohen]

Please share!

[@CharisBombela]

Holy cow. If someone threw me a party this nice I’d be sobbing.

[@julesaye]

How much money did ou spend??? Are you getting the money back?

[@victoriaamira5390]

Yes, I think a lot of the audience is curious on how this works. For other parties I know she's mentioned that the person was paying for much of the ingredients for the food.

[@ShanaeCox]

The people in your life are so lucky to have you. You put 100% in everything you do. The baby shower is absolutely beautiful and so special. I loved this video!

[@elothegreat3011]

Such a cute party! I love the candle idea! You should totally be a part time party planner. Well... I guess you kinda already are lol! ❤❤❤

[@sarahratliff482]

Your gift brings you so much joy while you bless others and "shower" them with love in all the special details. You are a sweetheart, Michel! You manifest Matthew 5:16!

[@MichelJanse]

This is so incredibly kind, thank you 🤍

[@lvlysticgirl]

Absolutely incredible baby shower, Michel! The food the decor, everything!! It looked SO delicious and beautiful! You have such a gift... not only for party planning and cooking, but also the gift of good friendship ❤

[@juliewells4282]

How do you budget when you host a shower? I’m curious what to expect for expenses when hosting such as for food, cake, flowers, decor… other? Thank you! 😊

[@GmaMom]

My guess is….this was close to $1,000?

[@chrissiedcohen]

@michel I would also be very interested in the budget for this. The specialty food & drinks. The decor & the flowers. Those cool little fans. The gifts, including the baby clothing decor. The grocery delivery, Costco run, & farmer’s market. Those pastries!! Breakfast tacos!! The DIY craft with all of the different candles & lighters. I’d love to know if this is achievable! It was BEAUTIFUL!!

[@kelseywinterhalt6468]

I was looking forward to seeing this vlog! A fruit themed baby shower is so interesting because they didn't even found the gender of their baby! You should totally do a party planner with all the baby showers, wedding shower that you have planned in your life! You have been so successful in the party planner!😊

[@suecorrigan1216]

I want you to be MY party planner!!! Every detail... perfection!! ❤

[@mariannedressler6784]

Seriously had enough food for an army!!! Beautiful shower. Such a cute theme.

[@suzannestone5050]

You should write a book with all your DIY recipes, how to’s. The pictures would be amazing!

[@kristalnunley7205]

Eeek! How sweet! 🍊 🍋 🍇 Love it! So excited! 👶 🙏

[@GloriaDuran-x9k]

Michel, you are such a gift. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@marie-sophie4]

This baby shower is the most adorable ever ! You are so talented and inspiring I love your vlogs so much ! Also big congratulations to your sister ! I also got a promotion last February and I am so happy for her ! 🩷🎉🥳😘

[@sjerzgrl]

You are such a fantastic event planner! So thoughtful of the guest of honor’s likes in addition to your guests. Wow!

[@MichelJanse]

Thank you 🥹

[@therooteddietitian]

We need an amazing coffee table book by michel on hosting 😍😍I love your hosting vlogs

[@lorienpatmore3520]

Also what a fantastic idea to do the shower for the girls first and then after party with the guys. Now I need to try a stroop waffle dark chocolate s’more!

[@ASMRallthetime]

Do you get paid to host these endless events????

[@elizabethpritchard8908]

She gets content for KZbin and gets to celebrate her friends! She’s not getting taken hostage 😂

[@ASMRallthetime]

@@elizabethpritchard8908 yeah okay but she must be rich then because to be able to employ over 10 women and constant remodeling, in this economy I don’t see how she could also be able to pay to host all these showers. It must be nice! 🤷🏿‍♀️

[@heatherhaass4522]

The 10 employees aren’t full time all the time employees. People like the lawyer and accountant are only hired to handle specific things for example.

[@raeahthewriter8082]

The candle activity was so cool

[@ferncurtis2437]

Beautiful…well done for providing such a stunning display…that was a lot of work and planning

[@alanaslade2185]

What a beautiful baby shower, everything looked great! Watching from Cape Town, South Africa ❤

[@sandrahintz2617]

Michel you need to open your own party and wedding planning. Then build a catering company you are awesome ❤

[@deniseavrich8088]

I like the picture with the oranges. You can even Add to it at the holidays. String some cranberries and fresh greenery. You don't have to glue them down so that you can transform it for different seasons. Maybe use some festive ribbon to wrap greenery in a bow, like you would wrap a gift. Just an idea.

[@claudiamann7111]

What a beautiful shower. You out did yourself. Love all the attention to detail. The fiod looked scrumptious. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@elbow7991]

Such a beautiful baby shower! Michel, you amaze me! ❤

[@katie-nola]

You did an AMAZING job! you are so talented Michel!

[@cherylf.4616]

What a beautiful baby shower Michel! You and Jordy worked so hard to make this happen! So much went into this! The cake was amazing as well as the food! Look out planners, here comes Michel! ❤️❤️

[@eileensorensen6681]

You always do such a beautiful job on your parties. Awesome Michel. I love that you have sweet Jordy helping. He is perfect for you. Luv u both.

[@ChristineS-sf3rc]

Wow, how pretty was that!! You are soo amazing with these showers!!! So lovely! It also takes a LOT of work doing all these things (DIY, Shopping, setting up everthing AND preparing the Food! ) Well done! So nice to see Jordy given you a helping hand! God Bless you both❤❤

[@pamd4068]

You are so very talented! Wow! The way you know what food tastes go together is magical. It just comes to you. I would be in a daze. You are truly gifted. Plus I was flabbergasted by the costs. It must have been $1,000 easily. But so so gorgeous and so kind! 💖🏵️🌸🪷🍓🍒🍉🍊🍋🥐🧇

[@joytimmerman6185]

Love love it, you’re amazing ❤️❤️

[@paulinacomesclean]

I am genuinely so impressed by your hosting skills! everything from the food to the decor to the small details...! I know you mentioned in other blogs how you budget for hosting events, so is this included in that line item? I could see how it would be so easy to go over budget with all the fun things!!

[@lorienpatmore3520]

What a beautiful baby shower! The croissants with the fruit on them were insane ! Nearly too pretty to be edible! I would be so proud of myself if I could host an event like that. Simply lovely

[@deborahwilliams5809]

[@hopeashbaugh6709]

What an absolutely gorgeous shower! The details, the food spread, stunning. You are so talented Michel!

[@ElizabethJaneckova]

Hi Michel, I was just DIYing some decor for my wedding - connecting lots of old train tickets from our long-distance relationship and train tickets are orange in the UK so it made me laugh when I saw you doing the same thing, just with oranges ❤

[@debbiestherapy]

Nothing beats the watermelon bowl for decor AND function! 😊

[@MichelJanse]

Truly!!✨🥰

[@Krohini12]

Wow girl! You did a phenomenal job!

[@1VitaminC]

Congratulations to your friends. Life is beautiful. You are inspiring people to be doers with passion while being and doing their best. You would make a wonderful party planner. My best to you. Thank you for your fine example of learning to be yourself in life. I can speak for 99% of your subscribers in that we wish you the best in whatever you do in life. So happy for you & Jordy!

[@luceymajor]

That was truly a beautiful party!

[@heatherjoslin8291]

I’m assuming the reason you spent a ridiculous fortune on this shower is because it was all used in videos so its a business expense. You could have paid for a luncheon that was catered for the cost. I hope that she reciprocates if/ when you have a baby one day in a few years.

[@beckyesperanza9793]

What a beautiful baby shower ,everything was great and amazing you can totally be a party planner. just lovele.

[@allyssumrose]

The party looks like a success!! Great job Michel!! Prayers & Wishes Lisa Hampton 🙂

[@madelineochoa67]

$288.00 for the linen vest skirt/set? 😓

[@jessicakathleen3363]

I love your event videos! You are so thoughtful and creative. I hope you all had a great time! 🙂

[@AnneliesVeldman]

This turned out SO so cute, I love seeing you thrive and just living your best party planning life!

[@claireberesford2307]

You are always ppanning such beautiful events. You shouls write a book! Also, do you civer rhe cost of everything? Seems like the cost could mount uo quickly. X

[@arickovalenciacarrasco4464]

Omg I wish you could host my shower (I’m not even pregnant) 😂❤

[@annasims3894]

Michel, you are so talented, your skills, attention to details, and your sweetness brings so much love to all you do. The menu, party favors, decor all so well done. Having the guys over is so special. Can we talk about the clothing!! So beautiful and looks very well made. The linen dress and black vest is something I wanted to see if they could go together. Jacqueline will love them. I really enjoy when you take us with your shopping. All of my girls live far from home and it brings me such joy to be with you because it reminds me of being with them. You did a fantastic job throwing the shower for your friend. I would be so honored. Blessings

[@monicamcgahan]

I love watching you do your hosting events❤ I miss those days in my life! Here in TX I don’t have friends. Also, can I just say I miss going barefoot outside! Living where I live in TX is sandy, we have lots of stickers, scorpions & spiky thistle 😒 I’m about 30min from San Mo and New Braunfels

[@lose999]

Best sponsor, ever!!! I'm 71 and I would love those drawstring jeans!! Your event planning is just perfection! You're such a good friend.💕

Yay!!

"A half a tablespoon of the pistachio... and a dash of that" 😂 I love you so much Michel! Quirky girls club 🥰

[@beckyolivia1545]

I love your food & party videos. Even though I'm vegan I get substitutions & try to make recreational your dishes.

[@nancydineen6797]

I love all the s’more items.

[@Realzproductreviews]

You should be a full-time party planner. Very talented 🎉❤

[@boogster618]

You did a wonderful job Michel, everything was beautiful and the food so light and refreshing! I would, however, suggest wearing gloves when preparing food so that it’s more hygienic. I know it’s a pain, but when you’re preparing food for others outside of you and Jordy, it’s more sanitary. Aside from the bandage, your rings also accumulate many particles and such, so wearing food prep gloves would be helpful all around.

[@k.a.1760]

Why does a pretzel s'more sound like the tastiest thing ever?!!!!!!

[@DianneBunting]

I have no idea where my previous comment just went but Im old I must've hit something lol. Now lil Miss Michel, I know you are a creator of many things but this is your true calling regarding "hosting". If beauty is in the eye of the beholder young lady then I need sunglasses because you are just shining so incredibly bright". Just keep being you cause you're amazing~! love an ole lady from ontario canada

[@beabopaloola9234]

I think you missed your calling. You are the best party planner I have ever seen

[@Sunflowers_220]

If she is always hosting, did she really? I think she is doing what gives her joy, in a way that suits her very well.

[@vickyb9918]

She’s multi talented

[@Limberlostgirl97]

What is the name of the song playing during the montage at the end? It’s beautiful!

[@maryannkilduff8659]

You are definitely a party planner extradinaire! The queen pf party planning, everything is beautiful! Do you have s link for the fan like things to keep the flies away? I need those, I'm constantly having to wave my hands and cover the food when entertaining outside. Thank you so much! Fabulous party!!!❤

[@SimplyFrancesca]

Hi Michel! I've been into pistachios for a couple of months now. When you mentioned the syrup in the ATX vlog, I ran to the store and got the ingredients to make it at home. Delicious!!! 🤤 I made mine with coconut sugar, raw pistachios, and orange blossom water. (I didn't know that orange enhances the pistachio flavor, as it's mild on its own.) I'm not a huge fan of PSL, so this has become my go-to fall 2024 drink. I've added it to coffee/matcha lattes. It pairs really well with both! Thanks!! 🤗🫶

[@schoolell9886]

All those designer clothes look amazing on you!

[@muffitsg]

Fantastic video, loved every moment 💐

[@MichelJanse]

So glad!🥹🤍

Everything is so well thought out and creative. Also love love the menu for the fruit themed baby shower! Only thing I'd suggest is to change the gift banner to a different colour❤

[@michellehaney9641]

THE CAKE 😍

[@jillmarie4155]

OMG that asparagus and edamame dish looks so yummy. Can you post the recipe please.

[@suesuzzz1440]

Yes please... The ingredients for all the dishes you served would be great and maybe from now on add them all in the discription plzzzz

[@striketochill]

I think Jaclyn is probably a senior, not a senior manager. That would be an insane promotion after only working there for a year or two...

[@lisaflores8801]

Im excited to see!

Positively GORGEOUS! I would hire you any day to plan a party!

[@kimberlyrudolphcap1789]

I would love to be in your friend group! You all seem to really love each other, and you are one heck of a hostess
