Ok, how stinkin’ cute is the red and white polkadot diaper that wraps around the invitation?  So clever!  And those paper baby shoes are the perfect compliment.

Enjoy this baby shower….

I actually saw the words of encouragement cards on the baby gardner website and decided to make my own version. I think they turned out pretty cute!

——

I have to say this is the first time I’ve heard this theme.  Am I out of the loop on this one?  Well..I just think it’s adorably clever!  I love the idea of the elephant…and not just because I went to the zoo today and watched a baby elephant play in the water!  I think there is just so much to do with this theme and Ashley did a wonderful job of showcasing it’s potential!  Come on…could that cake be any cuter?

Enjoy this baby shower…..

I have been very busy these last few weeks with back to back events, but I am back with the next week or so off! The baby shower brunch that I put together took place on Saturday and turned out adorable! The mother-to-be loves elephants so I took that into consideration while planning this event. It turned out so cute and all the little details worked so well together! Take a look at the pics…you can find the invite that I sent out for this event here.

Diaper Cake

Mocktail Mimosa’s and Hibiscus drinks made with Squirt soda (to go along with the theme), Orange Juice, & Cranberry Juice.

The Create-A-Crepe bar where guests could add ingredients, in a crepe, to make either a breakfast, lunch, or dessert crepe.

The Cake

I titled the various sauces for the crepes “Squirtables” to carry out the theme of the shower.

Sunny-side up Oreo Pops that are in the above picture, tied with yellow curling ribbon.

Onesie & bib decorating station

Finished Onesies & bibs. The guests did such a great job!

Floral centerpiece that I made

Advice cards for the guests to fill out, along with an envelope for guests to print their address on for the mother-to-be to mail their thank you cards! I love the paperclips and the elephant pens toppers I put together!

But my favorite of all would have to be the guest favors! Such cute little elephant cupcake toppers! Adorable!

Overall it was a fabulous shower. And the mother-to-be loved every minute of it! Can’t wait to meet this little bundle of joy!

“I love your site and love throwing parties but I am completely stumped on a baby shower I am throwing for a good friend in September. Her hubby is a firefighter and she is doing the nursery accordingly. She loves everything about decorating w/firefighter theme, so I know she’d like a shower based around that theme. I, however, want it to be unpredictable, sophisticated rather than cutesy, and just really beautiful and amazing. haha…no big deal, right?? So I am looking for some great ideas for something along those lines, maybe just some firefighter touches, but not the whole thing? Thanks so much for your time and your fabulous ideas for everything!!”

So, in the comment section please write our your ideas for her.  Put links to possible resources or post a link using inlinkz to a party that she might find helpful for her firefighter baby shower.

I’m going to kick things off by saying that I think using a vintage firefighter motif would make it more sophisticated. And since it’s for a baby shower, the idea of bringing in some vintage toys could be fun as well. Like this vintage firefighter toy truck…

So…gals what are your ideas?  I can’t wait to hear what all you fabulous ladies think of!

The “mommy to be” designed just the cutest nursey, so the inspiration for the colors came from baby Amelia’s nursery! I love using nursey colors as the inspiration, it makes it feel all that more special. Cupcake-Tini’s were the signature cocktail and DIY Bake Your Own cupcakes were used as party favors. The mommy to be was baking her own little cupcake, so now the party guests could as well.

Fresh lemons were used in the floral arrangements to add that pop of yellow also used in the babies room. You can find the floral tutorial here!

Cupcake Toppers with the babies due date pulled the entire theme together!

Happy Friday everyone… have the most wonderful weekend!

Tracie decided to let everyone know the sex of her baby when I sent out the baby shower invitations, so we decided on a little birdie theme so we could use some fun wording on the announcement:

Then we just ran with it from there!  Here are a couple of pics from the day…

Enjoy this Giraffe themed baby shower…..

We created answer sheets for the baby shower games that incorporated the antique pram image and great antique fonts. The ladies had a ton of fun with these games. They played “who’s that baby?” and the mommy-to-be snuck in a baby picture of dad that had everyone giggling. The hostess also had everyone write a short story for mom-to-be using a list of words, some baby themed and some random, like rattle and tow truck. We heard this one got a ton of laughs.

The favors were a candle tied in cellophane bags with an adorable poem written by the shower hostess! She is so creative!

Here’s a candle to light when you hear us say,

…Sweet “Baby Dolan” is NOW on the way!

Let it serve as a token of thanks in anticipation,

As we join in together with hopeful celebration!

Please keep it as remembrance to PRAY,

For a safe delivery this coming May!

And along with baby we’ll give deepest appreciation

For helping us out of such a “tight” situation!

The shower was “Anticipating Baby” so the candle tins said “Anticipating Baby” with her due date.  We just adore the antique pram and it was wonderful inspiration.

Don’t these cute pink cupcakes look delicious!

We had a wonderful time working with these ladies and they did an amazing job bringing our designs to life!
