Description
This was a baby shower with the theme I Love Milk because babies loooove milk if you did not know. My talented hubby designed all my graphics. I also enlisted the help of a couple friends to help me drink store bought starbucks frappecinos so I could create the look of old fashioned milk bottles. And utilized the help of trusty dusty GooGone to get rid of the labels. The food was of course cookies and donuts because that is what you eat with milk. You will notice another favorite element...my "milk mustaches." Mustaches are all the rage right now...and I LOVE IT. I used mustache lollipop molds and white chocolate for those. Oh...this fun party was super cheap around $100 including food!

Project Details
For activities, my husband designed personalized "Dear Eli..." cards where guests wrote notes about their hopes and dreams for Eli as he grows. You can find a free non-personalized printable version here. The best part was the decorating of onesies. We used scrap fabric, fabric glue, iron on adhesive, and puffy paint. These guests were very creative!
Favorite Items
milk bottles and milk mustaches
The “Dear Eli” notes is a great concept. Someday, when he’s all grown up and read the notes, he will surely smile.
I love the glass milk bottle idea..super cute!
