Baby Showers

A baby shower for a very intimate get together for a glowing mommy to be with this fashion forward and trendy NEON party. Fun fluorescence! Mixed with bold brights, CHEVRON pattern, saturated STRIPES and washi tape details.
I styled it together with bright whites and a contrasting neutral beige so that the colors would pop even more. As well as Neon washi tape accents to coordinate with the graphic decor
The dessert table included sparkling water (H2oh baby). Mini glasses with striped straws and coordinating flags. Triangle shaped brownies to go with the chevron pattern on the invites. Delicious lemon cupcakes with meringue topping. Dulce de Leche Alfajores, a typical Argentinian tasty treat. The backdrop was created with a neon string heart, tassels in neon, brown and a bright turquoise. All put together with a neutral background (very simple kraft paper! total DIY).
Favors: Wrapped in mini clear glassine bags with a coordinating printable tag was a tassel jewelry piece that could be used as a bracelet or a cute accent necklace served as the favors for the party and were arranged as part of the table setting.

This super chic giraffe and tiffany blue inspired baby shower featured all of the mother-to-be’s favorite trends…stylish onesies and headbands, tasty treats, and modern decor. Her Baby & Co. themed shower was an event to be remembered.

We wanted to have a small, low-key, coed, adult-friendly baby shower with our closest friends – something that wasn’t necessarily too baby-themed. As a result, we came up with the bottle theme: a beer bottle to represent my husband, a champagne/wine bottle for me, and a milk bottle for Baby Lucy.

The party took place at the backyard of a beautiful Greek restaurant on a hot summer day. The guests were around 100 (80 adults and 20 children).

My mom, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law hosted a little red wagon themed baby shower for me. I’m expecting a baby boy the beginning of September.

You don’t get more wholesome then checked table cloths and blueberry pie. That was the idea behind this tractor themed baby shower for soon-to-be parents Lauren and Brett. Instead of letting the weather limit the party’s decor, host Laura took the picnic and made it come alive inside her home. With a little creativity and her handy paper cutting tool, Laura turned mason jars, mini pies and paper plates into a picnic style baby shower for baby boy Nixon. Laura offers some great party planning tips along with all the details on this vintage picnic baby shower. I decided to throw an indoor picnic and tractor themed baby shower for a long-time friend (it’s far too hot in our neck of the woods this time of the year to party outside). Although she is having a boy, I wanted to steer clear of colors and motifs that were too kitschy or overdone. And, since it was a no guys party, I tried to create an environment and food that was “girly” to some degree , yet maintained a masculine feel in honor of baby Nixon. The color pallet consisted of orange, kelly green, yellow and blue jean blue. Overall I wanted guests to feel like they were at a farm or barnyard picnic with their friends.

diy-baby-shower After I saw how cute Kim’s lollipop party post was, I thought I would share some of my DIY/creative ideas from my own baby shower. It is hard to believe that my shower was almost a year ago! For all you first time moms…the first year really flies by so take it ALL in! Of course my inner designer came barreling through when it came to my baby shower. Obsessed? No, just excited! I got to choose a color scheme that coordinated with the colors of my little dudes nursery: Chocolate, Lime, and Aqua. We were having trouble finding the perfect do-dads and what-nots to coordinate, so I took on the challenge of creating the perfect accompaniments. I first designed a logo for the shower…. I found a piece of clipart that I liked and changed the coloring to match my scheme. I added this “logo” to all of the pieces shown to coordinate with one another. Invitations – I printed the wording onto large aqua circle stickers and then applied them to pre-cut chocolate paper squares and finished them off with matching ribbon Favors – Instead of spending a bunch of money on an item that may get tossed away or at best thrown into a junk drawer, I went back to the basics. Good ole’ HERSHEY BARS! Only these Hershey bars were dressed in to-cute-to-open homemade wrappers. All it took was some scrapbook paper and some stickers that I printed at home with my “logo” and voila! Centerpieces – Ok here is where the fun starts…. Empty quart paint cans from Home Depot, wrapped in fun, pretty paper (hot glue worked the best) Then we took floral foam and added it to the cans, filled the cans with crinkle cut paper from Michaels Craft Store and added Twinkle Candy. The final touch was the wooden craft dowel in the center of the arrangement that had the logo printed onto stickers and then backed with chocolate colored paper. Super cute, super inexpensive! Décor – If you have been to a few baby showers you may have seen this idea once or twice but here one of my BFF’s bumped it up a notch. She hung a clothes line across my patio, purchased color coordinated onesies and socks, hung them from the clothesline with clothespins and alternated the items with crafty little starts cut from paper that matched to the whole party!
