It’s a Jungle out there – Welcome to our Safari Chic baby shower! Hosted at a private estate in San Diego, it was our goal to turn this beautiful backyard into a safari oasis.  Sticking with a modern color palette that included: green, white, and touches of gold, this baby shower was a mixture of tropical, jungle and chic.  The Soirée team created custom signs that were sprinkled throughout the house including a grand welcome sign upon walking in.  This design was carried on from the invitation for all the guests.  We wanted to make the experience of walking to the backyard much like being on a safari, there were various stops on your way with plenty to look at!  Upon walking in, you were greeted by Jamie (day of coordinator) and asked to shake it like a Polaroid picture + sign the guestbook.  From there, you were given a clothes pin to not say…well you know the word!  Next, drop off a gift for the guest of honor and fill out a diaper raffle ticket if you brought some.  As you turned the corner, there were 2 fun activities you could participate in:  Baby’s 1st ABC book, where you chose a letter, colored + signed it.  There was also a onsie making station with fun graphics all in safari theme style with a custom “made with love” sign!  If that wasn’t enough, you were also greeted by the dessert table full of amazing sweets + treats from the greatest vendors!  After that, it was out to the back where tables were decorated with safari animals, balloons and you picked up a glass of Sangria.  The guest of honor had a chair in the middle of all her guest which also worked as a photo booth.  This event was as precious as the cargo it was intended for, Baby Bennett!
