A Bright Baby Shower

Hot pink, orange and polka dots were the theme for my baby shower held this past Saturday.   Look, the tablecloth is finished! I had a little help (ok, a lot of help!) hand sewing these owls on.

Adhesive dot labels stuck together on bright embroidery thread make for a great garland to add a little dotted texture in front of the window.

shower-game-name-the-poop

A silly game of guessing what kind of ‘poop’ was in the diaper. Different varieties of melted chocolate bars acted as poop. It was funny to see ladies smelling (and sometimes licking!) the ‘dirty diapers’.

Another shower game where you freeze a plastic baby in an ice cube. Melt your ice cube first and shout “My water broke!”. I just like the photo.

Bun in the oven! Baby shower favor.

buns

Searching on line for baby shower favors was a bit disappointing for us. We’re just not crystal pacifier, rubber ducky candle, baby feet soap kind of people. We had to come up with something else. Of course we went with something edible!

We ordered a tray of cinnamon buns from our favorite bakery in Tivoli. We put each in a hot pink bakery box and tied it with orange ‘wraphia’. 

Bun in the oven!
