I recently had the pleasure to work with and attend a shower for a wonderful mom-to-be, Carmen, and her baby girl, Hayden.
Working with her family to put together the perfect shower was a lot of fun and everything turned out just beautifully. Carmen's cousin (and my bestie), Gabby, really outdid herself with all of the decorations and yummy treats and I am so excited to share the shower photos with you!
When I was approached by my friend to design the decorations I immediately thought shabby chic using light pink with accents of glitter gold for a touch of glam! Once I created the printables, Gabby took off with the rest of the goodies, games, and party favors.
The table was very sweet (no pun intended) and was filled with pretty decorations to help accent the treats. I loved how baby Hayden's name was a focus of the party.
One of the highlights of the table was a homemade cake by Gabby herself. The sweet ribbon frosting was the perfect touch for the shabby chic table and the cake topper really finished it off so nicely. Also, how cute are those chocolate covered marshmallow baby rattles!?1?
Water bottles with coordinating labels is such a nice party favor for guests as well as a nice refreshing beverage. Seeing the little baby pink shoes just reminds of how little they are when they are born. "Oh baby" indeed....everyone is so excited for Carmen and to meet her little bundle of joy!
If Gabby didn't outdo herself with her cake, she definitely did with the cake pops! She even made her party games cute by adding little coordinating tags to them.
What has to be the most creative element to this party, was the Waffle Bar! I have heard of serving brunch at a baby shower but I have never heard of a waffle bar, but when I did I thought, how brilliant! Guests got to pick their toppings and enjoy a delicious waffle....and they look so pretty too!
Each party table had a little frame featuring Hayden's initial, but also congratulation Carmen, as it is very much her special day as we celebrate the mama-to-be and welcome the arrival of her first baby!
I loved the party favors for all of the guests. Everyone received a small Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea antibacterial hand gel. The tag was adorable and read "Thanks for celebrating the mommy-to-be and her little sweet pea". How adorable, I just love it!
This baby shower was just so pretty and I hope Carmen had such a special and wonderful day!
Congratulations Mama!
