Blue and Brown Baby Shower

August 25, 2010 By

A couple of weeks ago I had a couple of amazing friends host a baby shower for me.  This is my fourth child so I didn’t want a big elaborate shower but it was so much fun because this will be my first boy.  I am so accustomed to pink and frilly things that I actually like the change with all of the boy things.

This is a wreath that they hung on the front door with the adorable invitation that was sent to all of the guests.

My very good friends mom made all of the onesies that hung on the mantel.  I just love these!

I am using brown and blue in the nursery so the cake went great with my colors!

The wonderful table with delicious food!

My friend made these adorable chocolate favors for the guests to take home.

There was a table set up for the guests to address thank you note envelopes.  This is such a great idea for the mom-to-be because it saves a little more time!

I am so grateful to have such wonderful friends and family and I am looking forward to this new adventure with my little man!!!

Teacher Themed Baby Shower

August 13, 2010 By

It’s that time of year where everyone is getting ready for Back to School ideas.  To stay with the theme, here is a Teacher Themed Baby Shower.  You could incorporate a lot of the ideas into your back to school party too.

The decor was all red, white and blue items.

I love the great school-themed names for the dishes that were served.

Here is a great way to garnish cucumber sandwiches.

Look at the adorable apple cupcakes.   Just make a white cupcake in a red liner and top with a wee bit of red icing.  Then slice a mini donut in half (lay it on the counter and cut it parallel to the counter).  Lay 1/2 of the round donut onto the icing and then ice the whole thing.  Dip the top in red sugar sprinkles and add a chocolate leaf and a half a tootsie roll for the stem.

Be sure to check out all of the details from this shower at Bower Power.
