Welcome to the World Baby Shower for Baby Girl Elliot with a theme of “Oh! The Places She’ll Go”
Much to my delight, Aiden requested a mustache party! Yes, it’s been done but I loved mustaches (found them hilarious) before they were trendy so I was really excited.
Plus it’s perfect for Aiden who is one of the smartest kids I know but a total goofball who loves his milk and of course, loves cookies.
I did as many DIYs as possible to keep the costs down and to make the party personal.
Our families threw us a beautiful pink, grey, white, and glitter baby shower! It was full of lovely patterned papers mixed with hand painted illustrations and included baby photos of my husband and I as well as a slideshow of my baby bump’s progression thus far.
For my daughter’s second birthday I wanted soft, sweet colors and what little girl doesn’t love to twirl around in a tutu?! The party is a combination of DIY projects, items from vendors (I discovered I was not very good at making tulle pom items), and reuse of items (I have used those mason jars for my wedding, baby shower, Presley’s 1st birthday, and now her 2nd).
A playful pinwheel party to celebrate our daughter’s 2nd birthday!
The goal was to match his shower to his main room colors! Gray, Yellow, and White with accents of Red. The shower ended up having a lot more red than is in his room but I love how it turned out!
I wanted his shower to match his room – gray & white with splashes of yellow and blue.
I made a snowflake themed party for my 1 year old daughter’s 1st birthday in January. It was pretty, pink, robin’s egg blue and glittery like frost. I made some cupcake toppers with scrapbook paper, skewers, and snowflake stickers, along with some dollarstore white styro snowflakes…And I made the banners with the same scrapbook papers, as well as some old fashioned paper chains with snowflakes added on the bottom! Also I used those “decorate them yourself” crowns from the dollar store and glued the leftover bits of scrapbook paper onto them…
For our daughter’s first birthday party we decided to host the party in our backyard. She has a spring birthday and it would give the kids plenty of room to run around. We started with the butterfly invitation from Tiny Prints and I scoured the stores starting in February for decorations or craft items. The baskets and garlands from World Market were perfect and we built the rest around those colors and designs. We took one of the baskets to the bakery and asked them to design a cake to match it. We entertain a lot so we had most of the serving dishes but decided to add some kid friendly non-breakable additions and some outdoor tablecloths. Since we had boys and girls we made sure we had lots of colors with some pink thrown in. We also had several ages of kids and lots of adults so we varied the activities and menu to match. We had lots of bubble toys, a tub of rubber frogs, a splash table and balls for the kids to play with. For the menu, we had chicken salad sandwiches, tomato tarts, melon balls, bug shaped mac and cheese, pbj sandwiches and ham and cheese sandwiches, chocolate covered pretzels and cheerios along with the cake and cupcakes. For beverages we had water, juice boxes, lemonade and raspberry lemonade punch. For favors we had bubbles and a rubber frog for all of the kids.
