Our good friends Steve & Rachel are expecting their first baby any day/moment now and I had the absolute pleasure of throwing the baby shower a few weeks back. They don't know what they are having, so I chose a black/white/yellow theme for the party and picked up these adorable Wee Gallery Art Cards as my inspiration for decor:
Here is a look at how everything turned out:
A couple of shout-outs on a few things I chose that I was very pleased with. The Baby Cakes cupcakes in pumpkin and lemon were super tasty and were gobbled up in no time. Baby Cakes is a local cupcake shop in the KC River market.
The zebra cookies are from my favorite cookie spot, Boulevard Bakery & Pastries, which I reserve only for the most special occasions. They are insanely rich and super healthy I am sure.
Finally, the wooden animal teethers I read about in Dwell magazine, then later found online at Etsy. These were so cute and a gift I think I'll refer back to the next time I need an idea for a baby present. Check out the other amazing items they have to offer.
The shower was great and and I was pretty happy about how all my DIY projects turned out. I have had a couple of requests to re-create some of the small posters in different colors, so thinking maybe I'll update that Etsy shop we started up then never offered anything to sell in. Whoops.
I think my favorite project was the banner flags. They were easy to make and super cheap, leftover bakers twine from the wedding and some cardstock I had on hand. The best part was following the shower, they were easily converted into Halloween decor:
It's basically a party that lasts all fall. :)
