Last week I talked about the Baby Shower Invites, Games and Decorations that had given me inspiration for a baby shower I hosted with my college roommate this past Saturday.
Here’s a few pics from our fun day.
I shared how I made this mantel decoration from items I found at the Dollar Tree here. It looked even better with the candles lit! I need to go buy two more candle holders so I can spell “Halloween” and “Christmas”.
And where would the shower be without the food!? Here’s a snapshot of only 1/3 of the food we had. It was delicious. I loved how the colors all came together. We made little bow-tie cookies to “tie in” with the invitation that is framed on the right side of the picture.
And here’s the cake! If you live near a Buehler’s Grocery Store then you need to order your next cake from them. I gave them the invitation and look what they did. How cute is that?! The price was only $17.99 for a half white, half chocolate personal cake. I was so impressed! (My apologies for the tacky white boxes to maintain the privacy of our little mamma.)
The number one advice I have in hosting a baby shower is to host it with a friend. We were a team and had so much fun planning and getting everything ready. It’s much easier when you have someone to help!
