Baby Shower

I love being an auntie & I love throwing a party...so my sister's pregnancy is the perfect occasion for me on so many levels!

Time to throw a shindig.

We went with on owl theme to coordinate with baby Samantha's nursery decor. These fabulous owl stuffies served as uniqe centerpieces from Darling Livi - they were a hoot!

 
Cookies on a tiered tray were owl-dorable!

Set the theme outside as guests walked in with a cute baby quote.



The desert table all decked out.

 This is the guests table with "Sam" framed on burlap. We used Wall Junque frames to instruct guests to sign a baby book for Sam as well as highlight ultrasound and maternity pictures. In the wood slab (created by my craft husband) we displayed handmade white chocolate suckers for favors to each guest.

Drink Bar, we did a breakfast punch since it was a brunch along with a Kerig Coffee bar for guets.

 
Somce of the yummy brunch food. Silver trays and small glasses found while thrifting added a special elegant & rustic touch - you don't get that with store bought platters!

 
We made a donut hole tree and offered bagels with spreads & muffins on the bread table.



Another look at the dessert table, we spend lots of time on the ribbon garland & it was stunning!

 By the front door we purched a little owl decor and framed the shower invite in a Wall Junque Frame.

 
Close up of dessert table decor. We made a big S for Sam and painted & added glitter polka dots for some fun. We also made the cake & banner. More ultrasound pics in a Wall Junque frame.

 
This tree stand tiered cupcake stand was possibly my favorite element of party decor. Made by my craft husband.

 
Cake pop stand was quick & easy decor made by my craft husband.


You can see the marvelous girly breakfast table with tulle & ruffles peaking in this shot. Along with a garland we made with book pages & cupcake liners.

The shower was a smashing success & now mama is ready to welcome baby Sam. She loved all the DIY touches & it was fun to create many of the projects together. Guests were WOWed saying it was Pinterest brought to life!

  1. Such an adorable baby shower. Pink arrangements definitely means it's a baby girl for them. Many congratulations to all. It's such proud moment celebrating lovely parties with dear ones. Frolic dance party was arranged by my brother after the birth of my nephew. One of the awesome San Francisco venues was booked and all arrangements done were best indeed.
