baby shower August 29, 2008

so, a few gals and i had the priveledge of celebrating our dear friends baby girl on the way!

i absolutly LOVE to host and plan showers! I just LOVE it! :)

Here are some pictures and some ideas for parties in general!

the food table!

GREEN DESIGN TIP…. use glass baby bottles as vases for the yummy flowers! BPA free of course! ;) (and super cute polkadot tins from the dollar section at target full of sugar babies! delightful!)

i designed and printed these from my computer at home! adds such a personal touch!

the guests were greeted by some love… such an easy way to welcome your guests! just take down the wreath or door decoration and replace it for the evening with a framed piece of paper in your theme! i also used synonyms for cute and hung fun circles around the house! do you get the “dot” theme yet!??! ;)

and for dessert… instead of having a buffet style dessert, we assembled each plate beforehard and just passed them out individually! everyone loved it and got a sample of all the desserts on the menu!

and of course, no party is complete without my signature WATER BOTTLE LABEL! So easy and chic and EVERYONE goes gaga over them! just tie a satin ribbon around the top and you are set!

we had a complete ball throwing this shower and i hope you enjoyed it as well!

i’m always on the look out for some cute gifts or just personal touches that make ordinary things stand out…

found these super~cute pencils at spoonsisters.com

your run-of-the-mill plain pencils, bedazzled with a swarovski crystal topper! so cute!

how fun to use these at a baby shower or bridal shower for guests to use for playing games…

or, just a fun little addition to your office pencil jar…

all in all though you could buy them at spoonsisters.com and enjoy the finished product… BUT, they aren’t all that hard to make!

you’ll need some flat backed swarovski crystals… as found here at my fav: jewelrysupply.com

buy a few of these bad boys and use your hot glue gun and attach to any pencil that doesnt have an eraser… and voila! a pencil with a bit of pizazz!

and now for a baby boy find! i LOVE mom4life.com a fab website created by a christian woman who loves her kids and loves style!

i ordered this hat from BORN TO LOVE for my son last winter and LOVE it! we got so many positive comments and he looked just adorable in it

we ordered this one for our little man and loved it! i think for my next purchase, we’ll order something that matches other items of clothing a little better ;)

ok, so they also have them for girls, which is equally as cute!

ok, so sometimes i wonder what it would be like if i had a baby girl (then i come to my senses and realize what a HUGE temptation all the adorable baby girl accessories would be!)… thankfully God gave me a baby boy! :)

a new website has caught my eye… HEELARIOUS

but these are the CUTEST thing ever!!! Who has heard of baby girl high heel pumps!?!?!?

from the super cute company heelarious… come these wonderfully sweet baby heels!!

i just can’t handle it!! all of them are SO adorable! dont worry pod-conscious mamas, these are for infants 0-6 months, so no walking will be done in them!

so, as a totally DIFFERENT gift for a super chic mama, pick up a pair of this heelarious foot candy!
