Baby Shower: The Details


Yesterday I shared about the wonderful baby shower that my mom threw over the weekend and I had plenty of questions on the details so I'm happy to share today where a lot of thing are from (many from Etsy!) and more on the specifics.

The dessert table is always on of my favorite aspects to any event and I was so pleased with this one! As obsessed with Stella as I am, I wanted to tie her in so a little "Stella" dog a girlfriend gave me and this mini-golden doodle onsie my mom got me served as decorations.

The cupcakes and cake balls were from a local bakery and the rattle cookies from this etsy shop.  Other details: cupcake toppers (here), table cloth - which is actually a curtain (here), cocktail napkins (here) and cupcake stands (here).


One request was minimum games - I love bingo and it was actually so much fun watching everyone get into it while opening the gifts.  Everyone also filled out a little "baby bucket list" of things we should do during the fist year - lots of fun to read afterwards! Baby bingo (here), baby bucket list (here).


Decorations were kept simple so it was baby shower like but not overly baby like.  My mom picked out the cutest flower arrangements from a local florist featuring navy blue not baby blue and the garland can be found here, the oh boy balloons are here (one of my favorite touches!).


For drinks we had a wide variety so other preggos and myself had some things to choose from.  Water, of course, wines/champagne, lemonade with blueberries and lemons and a baby boy punch - we kept saying the ducks were drunk because they wouldn't stand up.  Water bottle labels (here), oh baby cups (here) and cocktail napkins (here). 


The food was catered from one of our local places with plenty of mini sandwiches, salads, shrimp, appetizers and such to pick from.  These lamb floral arrangements were such a fun surprise - they are currently still going strong in our kitchen but the lamb is a pull toy that the baby can play with! 

Donuts have been one of my favorite things throughout this pregnancy so Krispy Kreme was a no brainer for the favors! Thank you labels (here), babies are sweet, please take a treat sign (here).
