Cardi B is known for her “go big or go home” mentality when it comes to just about everything. Her baby shower on Tuesday night was no exception.
In a recent Rolling Stone cover story, Cardi B spoke about how she is preparing for motherhood.
“I want a lit baby shower. My baby shower’s not starting at no 5:00,” she said. “My s— is going to start at 9 p.m. because that’s how I celebrate, that’s how Caribbean people celebrate.”
It would appear, with a baby shower that Vogue reported took 40 people and two days to construct, Cardi B got her wish.
Cardi B, along with her husband Offset — who she secretly wed in September — celebrated the upcoming arrival of their daughter with a”Bronx fairy-tale” themed baby shower, and an abundance of pink and white decor. She announced her pregnancy back in April in a dramatic SNL performance.
The festivity boasted everything from 250,000 flowers and balloons to a subway replica and a children’s book library, where attendees could sign messages to the baby. The Ballethnic dance company and hip-hop orchestra group Orchestra Noir were hired to supply the night’s entertainment.
The shower’s event planner, Karleen Roy described the occasion to Vogue as “a magical and imaginary Bronx land fit for the quintessential baby girl … only this time there is a plot twist in this lavish story: It’s a magical, whimsical land, but FOR THE CULTURE!”
Cardi B’s outfit matched with the theme flawlessly, sporting a millennial pink dress that proudly displayed her bump. Friends and family took to social media to share snaps of the chic gathering.
Offset shared a plethora of photos and videos from the event on his Instagram story as well.

The giant cake and floral arrangements weren’t even the main attraction at the party. There was even a “Bardi Baby Bodega.”
