Baby Shower Gift Idea!

When my sister found out she was pregnant, her sister in law wanted to do a dinner to congratulate the new parents to be. All the guests were encouraged to bring gifts that would help the couple during their pregnancy. Some guests brought baby guide books, others gave gift cards to a massage spa. I decided to ask the couple what their favorite snacks/cravings were. I put a little bag together with their choices. I also made a little "notebook" that the parents could put there monthly progress of ultrasound pictures, and the mom to be's progress of her belly growing. I started off the notebook with some pictures that I had taken prior. The front of the notebook had this cute little poem:

My precious little baby, I have loved you from the start.

You are a tiny miracle, laying closely in my heart.

Each day I feel your presence, each day you quickly grow.

Each day your heart beats softly, as only I could know. So  I’ll

keep this in a special place, and remember each year through,

                                      Of this very special time of life, the months I carried you.

Little Prince Baby Shower

I was so excited to host a co ed baby shower for my sister and her husband. We had the party at my house, and the theme was "A Little Prince Is On His Way". I made most of the party decor my self, and I was happy with the results. Thank you to all who helped in putting the event together. Here are a few pictures:

These were the welcome signs, after the shower I put them together as one long wreath, and she was able to put it on their front door until the baby arrived.

Here is a picture of the save the date that went out.

My Stepdaughter helped me make these yummy brownie bites in addition to other great treats we had, recipe found on bettycrocker.com

 I put several of these frames through out, they added a great little touch

Mom and Dad were able to take these home as well.

In addition, I had also bought a bunch of assorted size candle holders, put blue water (food coloring), crystals and floating candles through out. Once the sun went down we turned on the candles. Unfortunately there was a bit of wind, and the candles kept blowing out.



The Happy Mom and Dad to Be

These were the centerpieces, unfortunately our 100 degree whether that day with a bit of breeze was not letting these centerpieces stand straight. They kept tipping over. I was happy the night before when I had finished all the balloon clusters, they looked so cute.

I didn't know what to do for party favors, all I wanted to do was something unique. So I made guest soap party favors. The stickers read "Were Soaping you had a great time. Thank you for coming"
