Heidi Montag Throws Herself a Big Baby Shower

The Hills alum Heidi Montag has been very public with her pregnancy thus far, so it's not surprising that she would throw herself a big party with lots of friends to celebrate her impending motherhood. The party happened last weekend in Venice, California, and even if Heidi's former Hills castmates couldn't make it, there were still plenty of enthusiastic well-wishers on hand.

Ready or not, here he comes! Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt gathered friends and family on Saturday, September 9, at Venice, California's 800MAIN to celebrate their baby boy's October arrival. (Prior engagements unfortunately meant fellow Hills alums Kristin Cavallari and Audrina Patridge had to RSVP no.) "It was so nice to bring together newer friends, old friends and family," Montag tells Us Weekly exclusively. "I was on cloud nine."

A fitting sentiment for the "Heaven Sent" themed party dreamed up by Beijos Events. The mom-to-be, 30, shared that she and her husband, 34, had been "praying for this baby for years" and wanted to reflect that in the soft blue-and-white decor and lush arrangements by MV Florals. Guests dined on a selection of salads, sweets and mocktails from Colette's Catering and Events.

There was also a more unexpected element to the shower: a pair of massive amethyst geodes. Crystal enthusiast Pratt has encouraged his wife to have them in the birthing room. She explains, "They represent spiritual protection, health and a higher realm of love and light and all that! Spencer just wants good intentions."

Though her own mom planned a slew of games, Montag and pals "ended up talking and having fun" and snapping pictures in the on-site photo booth. Pratt stopped by toward the end of the bash to say hello — and show off the tie-dyed shirts he and his nephew, Grant, both happened to be sporting that day. "This was his first time babysitting for his sister," notes Montag. "I should have known babysitter Spencer would have them showing up matching."
