Denise Richards Throws Baby Shower for Daughter Eloise
Three's a charm!
That was the theme of a baby shower Denise Richards threw in Beverly Hills for her daughter Eloise Joni, whom she adopted domestically in June.
"So excited for Eloise's shower today," Richards, 40, Tweeted Saturday. "Gonna be amazing!"
Famous pals including Tori Spelling, Lisa Rinna attended, and others, like Ali Landry, Nancy O'Dell and Mel B were expected at the party at the Montage Hotel, where guests sipped champagne and presented Richards and her daughter with gifts, including a pink Stokke stroller and baskets of baby clothes, plush toys and Baby JaR bibs, burpies and blankets.
The decor included pink and black flowers, inspired by the classic Eloise children's book series, and a cake topper with a replica Eloise and her big sisters, Richards's daughters Sam, 7, and Lola, 6.
"She's so excited," a pal tells PEOPLE. "She's so in love with her new daughter. This is a really special time for her. She can't wait to introduce her to her friends."
Sam and Lola, who helped name their new sibling, share their mom's joy. "They love having a little baby sister," a source says. "They have welcomed Eloise with open arms."

Re: Denise Richards Throws Baby Shower for Daughter Eloise
very cute..
This may sound harsh but it's sad to me that someone like this chick could so easily (i'm assuming it was easy for her) adopt this baby and yet I know so many couples who'd love to but have to move heaven and earth in order to do so..

I think I read that the adoption process for her took 2-3 years.

Yea, she actually said that it took her 2 years and it was very difficult. I read that many potential adoptions fell through before this little girl came along.

Yes. I read this piece this morning:
In the current issue of Us Weekly (out now), Richards details her arduous adoption process. "Some people think if a celebrity wants a baby, they get one the next day. The adoption took two years, and there were times I felt discouraged, times when I got close to adopting a baby and it fell through," The Girl Next Door author tells Us. "But I knew the right baby would find us."
