Just posted some pictures of my sister's baby shower I threw this past Sunday and though I'm glad it's over now, there were lots of highlights and I had so much fun putting it together! She came up with Where the Wild Things Are for a theme and I gladly went with it! Little did I know she had never actually read the book just watched the movie. I was appalled! You know being the nerdo, book obsessed geek I am. Hey, no shame in book fairs being one of my favorite things back when I was in school! None. :) With that said, I HAD to order the book so she knew how neat the theme truly was. And how long it's been since it was written. 50 years! Also, I figured it would be fun to use that as her guestbook as well as a treasured gift for my sweet nephew to have as his own!
I chose to host it at the same quaint coffee shop I always have parties for a couple of reasons. One, it's spacious and cozy. Two, decor is already perfectly charming, simple and just the style that I love. Again, I don't care to decorate with the animated characters all over instead I went with a neutral and woodsy palette. I opted for a few fun banners which were so easy to put together, most in which I had stuff on hand already.
The idea of crowns was a must for me so of course we had a station that guests could crown themselves. Also, made just a few fresh flower crowns for the mama to be and my other sisters. They turned out so pretty and I'll be making those again sometime!
Played a few simple and typical games, gave out prizes and had a diaper raffle!
Happy it was a success and she was blessed by everyone who helped her celebrate! Now just about a month or so and I get to meet my tiny nephew!!
Next up is my wonderful hubs birthday!!!
Can't wait!
love!
