Let’s Have a Party – Mustache Baby Shower Details

June 19, 2012 By Shannah 12 Comments

Ok, so we’ve talked about the favors, the bean salad and the gift cake from Liz’s shower. I promise this will be the last post but I wanted to show you a few of the other little details from the shower.

Who I am kidding…I really just have a million pictures that I have to justify somehow 🙂

The shower was outside at a local vineyard.
{I know that sounds like a funny place for a shower but it is really picturesque and the perfect place for a casual shower}

Shopaholic went over with me early to help set up. We covered the food table with a cute little green table cloth and attached the bunting banner to the front.

Let’s Have a Party: Mustache Baby Shower Gift Cake

June 18, 2012 By Shannah 14 Comments

So, last week, I shared the favors and bean salad from Liz’s recent baby shower. I’m back to show you a another detail of our Dragon Baby celebration…the baby shower gift cake 🙂

I knew we would be doing cupcakes versus an actual cake at the shower. But, I still wanted to have a centerpiece type item for the table that a cake would normally provide. So, I decide to make a gift cake. {In complete disclosure, the plan started with me making a diaper cake but sleep won out over that project.}

Let’s Have a Party – Party Favors

June 11, 2012 By Shannah 10 Comments

This weekend I had the honor of helping host a baby shower for my good friend, Liz.

{You may remember her from our cradat back in October}. Liz is having baby #2 in August and we are thrilled for her and her family!
Now, the deets of this shower will come in a series of posts because I have a lot to share.

Today, let’s talk about party prep: favors!

I was cruising around Etsy one day and came across the most adorable little favor tags.

I knew the theme was set the moment I laid eyes on them. They are simply too cute for words.

Then, I found some adorable little favor bags too which sealed the deal.

Once I had the container and the tag, I just needed to figure out what to put in them. This became the tough part because I didn’t want to get something I didn’t think anyone would actually want or use.

You know the say, “If you don’t know what to do with it, put a bird on it”. Well, it became: “put a bird in it” for me!
I was at Party City one day and saw these adorable little owl candles

They were the perfect size and oh so cute. I grabbed those and some little mints with baby feet on them and hit the check out line.
I put all the items in the little pouches and tied the favor tags to the top.

All set and ready to go!

Once at the party, I put a little pouch at each person’s seat.
