Congratulations to In The City‘s Yvonne Najor and Nick Barber, as the couple is expecting their first child.
PEOPLE got the exclusive to Yvonne and Nick’s Where the Wild Things Are-themed baby shower on Saturday, May 30. “We’re beyond excited to become parents and start this next chapter together.”
“Growing our family is something we’ve dreamed about for so long, and we feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by so much love and support as we prepare to welcome our baby.”
“Becoming parents is such a big step, and like any couple, we’ve had a lot of conversations about what the right timing looked like for us,” they continued. “You’ll see some of that journey unfold this season on In the City as we navigated these decisions together, but standing where we are now, we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead.”
The shower’s theme, Where the Wild Things Are, was in rhythm with their life. “It perfectly matched the energy of the celebration, and honestly matches the energy of our wild friend group.”
Yvonne continued, “I have worked in hospitality marketing for most of my adult life. And while Nick and I met at a club called Acme years ago. Throwing parties and events is definitely my arena to be wild — but a playful wild, and fun, while still feeling modern and elevated.”
“From my best friends since I was 13, to the friendships I’ve built in New York, including my BFF Lindsay Hubbard, and of course my castmates Georgina Ferzil, Lexi Sundin, Whitney Fransway, Danielle Olivera and Katie Deluca.”
“It truly felt like a celebration of friendship just as much as a celebration of our baby. The guys joined later in the day, which made everything feel even more fun and celebratory.”
“I’m one of the last in my overall friend group to become a mom, and I wanted this to feel more like a ‘moms gone wild’ celebration than a traditional baby shower.”
“Honestly, seeing all of my favorite people in one room celebrating this moment with us was incredibly emotional,” Yvonne gushed. “The energy was amazing from beginning to end, and I loved watching everyone just let go, dance on tables, and have fun together.”
