Happy hump day all!! I thought I would share some of the goodies I had prepared for the décor of my friend Rachel’s baby boy shower from the weekend.
This is me preparing some letters to be used throughout the shower. I spray painted them with chalkboard paint so mom & dad could later write messages to their little bundle on them.
I added felt ribbon to the tops and hung them from the chandelier in the kitchen. The mobile I showed you last week was also hanging from the other side of the chandelier. Now she can use both in the nursery as décor.
Here was the candy bar that was a group effort. Three of us hosted the shower and we all had different tasks but everything came together so incredibly well.
A sign for the table.
The adorable baby cupcakes.
Here is one of the centerpieces I made which sat on the food table. Rachel is a huge owl lover (as am I) so you will see them pop up here and there.
The little wish tree I created to hang…
everyone’s well wishes on.
Here is my Milah in front of the bunting I made for the fireplace that had stuff for the baby such as new socks and a onesie.
Another little framed piece that I thought they could use to write baby’s birthdate, weight, length and all those little details on so they are not forgotten.
Another little guy.
My gift to the new little man, a painting for the nursery. Rachel is also a huge fan of monkeys and kind of wanted to incorporate both into the room. Written on the painting is “Unlikely friends are the best kind”.
This was the sign at the door to remind people to pick up their favors on the way out which were little mint chocolate monkeys I made with molds (that I picked up at Micheals). Unfortunately the lighting isn’t great so you can’t see them but the tags have little owls and the date on them.
Here is the proud mom with her painted belly. Her sister in-law painted the owl along with all of the kids faces.
We all had such a great day and didn’t want to leave.
Hope this inspires you to get creative for your next baby shower.
Renee you are so talented. What an amazing job you did for your friend. She must have just loved how much thought and time you put into each piece. I just love the owls too! so darn cute!! Your mixed media piece brought a big smile to my face. Well done my friend!!!
You are the sweetest thing Julie!!!
Renee, what wonderful ideas you have. Wish I was so talented! Also, the pic of Mila is very sweet – cannot believe she is now so grown up. Cheers, Nancy
