I hosted a baby shower for a new mom - and guess what? She was having a girl! She was gracious and let me go with all pink! We highlighted with a touch of brown for contrast. It was so much fun!
 |
| I decorated the porch with balloons and paper pom-poms |
 |
| I used light pink, white, and dark pink tulle to frame to door. It didn't turn out quite like I imagined, but I didn't pre-decorate this area, so I ran out of time to do it better. The guests didn't seem to notice, or care, though! |
 |
| I made this diaper wreath that I saw on a friend's blog. it was super easy and a perfect party favor for the mother to decorate the nursery with, if she wanted to. I made sure to match it with her nursery theme. |
 |
| This was the sign in table. I made a nametag for each guest that had a cherry blossom tree on it (her nursery theme) and in the little pink pales were pink glitter spray painted clothespins, to play the "don't say baby" game. I wish I'd used fresh flowers, but these worked well too! |
 |
| I made this cute Subway Art on my Creative Memories Storybook Creator software and bought an inexpensive frame. I found the idea on another blog. I also gave this to the mom-to-be as a keepsake for the nursery. |
 |
| I wish these pictures had turned out better, but I bought different sized onsies at Hobby Lobby and a couple of cute pairs of shoes. I hung them from some pink clothespins (spray painted with pink glitter spray) on a cord strung from one side of the curtain rod to the the other. The cord was invisible to the naked eye. I printed 3 designs on clear avery sticker labels, and put them on the onsies. I gave these to the mom to be. |
 |
| This was the photo back drop for when she opened up her gifts and we played games, |
 |
| In the basket on the left were the party favors for the guests (pictured up close, below). The large bag, was filled with a "hospital survival guide" filled with different things for the hospital - chapstick, face wipes, granola bars, M&Ms, puzzle book, hair ties, etc. - for the mom to be to take with her to the hospital. The bags on the right were prizes (pink nail polish, pink lotion and pink hand sanitizer from Bath and Body) for the winners of the games we played . |

 |
| Pink Lemonade Spritzer |
 |
| Water Bottle labels with 3 different patterns - from the theme of the baby shower |
 |
| gifts were put on the back side of this table |
 |
| The food bar - veggies with dip, chicken salad sandwiches, strawberry spinach salad, and fruit |
 |
| The dessert table was filled with homemade cupcakes, pink dipped strawberries, and pink iced sugar cookies. I made cupcake labels that matched the water bottle labels, and the stickers on the onsies. |
