BABY SHOWERS!!!!

They are SO much fun to do!!  The last one I did was JUNGLE THEME but sadly I forgot to take pictures and that diaper cake was my BEST yet!!  Teach me to stay up all night trying to get it all done......lol!!


So I will move on to the next baby shower I did a year ago for some dear friends of mine.  I never get to do girly stuff so I went just a little over board but it was all worth it........


So it was a "Purple Princess (co-ed) Baby Shower"


First, I always start with the "Introductory Table". (This is the table that everyone will see FIRST.  You will want to put your name tags here, anything you want the guests see or sign FIRST.)  But also make it where guests can come & go to this table as well.  You might get traffic jams and guests will come back, guests might forget to do something or forget to pick up something .... so you want it where it is easy access.


*  I made labels to cover water bottles with the shower "info" along with Crystal Light packets tied onto the bottles.


*  I took individually wrapped packages of popcorn, then cut card stock paper to go around it 
and decorated the edges.  Then typed out on the computer a cute saying ..(and attached it to the front)
      "Thank you for helping my mommy & daddy to prepare 
        for when I POP"


*  I made vases filled with.........
       ~ ROSES ~ made from baby socks (you can use ruffled socks too ~ I did * see picture)
       ~ ROSES ~ made from Hershey kisses
       ~ LOLLIPOPS ~ made from baby washcloths


*  I made BABY BOOK (well sort of)......  It was a sign in book but for guests/family/friends to give the new parent to be some words of encouragement, warm wishes, share a funny story, blessings, etc.......


*  And last I made homemade THANK YOU cards but let "mommy & daddy to be" have those, but I put the envelopes on the table with a bag next to them.  On the bag I wrote a little note asking the guests to self address an envelope to themselves.  That would save mommy & daddy a lot of writing and time.
