Hudson & Bryce are brothers whose birthdays fall one year and 10 days apart. Since they share the same friends, and their birthdays fall during the summer when everyone is busy, it makes most sense to create a shared celebration.
It’s a girl! Dawn and Brian’s family hosted a baby shower for all of their Massachusetts family and friends and wanted Sugar & Bow’s assistance for the party planning. We thought long and hard (about 30 seconds) and came up with an Owl and Chevron theme that we thought fit the parents-to-be perfectly. All of the guests were asked to bring along an unwrapped onesie to hang on the clothesline. At the end of the night Dawn and Brian picked their favorite onesie and the winner received a wine themed S&B basket. This amazing basket included a bottle of wine, Rosemary Wine Crackers, Cheese Straws, a heart shaped cutting board, two wine glasses, and a package of gold napkins. The dessert buffet included mini chocolate chip cupcakes with buttercream frosting and topped of with chocolate shavings, mini apple cider cake donuts, and an chocolate chip cake. At the end of the night each guest was asked to take a small purple chevron bag with an elephant (the theme of the nursery) sugar cookie.
I started compiling and researching very early, way before we knew the gender. Once I knew how I wanted to decorate his nursery, everything else came together. I purchased most of the supplies very early and my friend + business partner and I created all of the printables you see. I got inspiration ideas from Project Nursery, Etsy, and HWTM.
