Real Event! Emily B's Baby Shower, Columbus, Ohio

I am so excited to feature this baby shower on my blog! Not only was I the creative mind behind it, the shower was thrown for my sister and mom-to-be, Emily. So much time, effort, sweat and (almost) tears were put into this event. I swear it felt like I was planning a wedding!

Pinterest was a lifesaver during the planning stages. Since the sex of baby B will remain a mystery until birth, we decided to go with a bow theme (hairbow for a girl or bowtie for a boy), and picked some gender-neutral colors and mixed them with vintage style decor. When guests arrived, they were to open their favors immediately and don a bow -- in their hair if they thought the baby would be a girl, and on their shirt if they thought the baby would be a boy. Emily handmade all the bows in different patterns and they turned out SUPER cute.

We were blessed to find such a cool place to throw the shower. Not only were the owners at Mission Coffee Co. so generous as to allow us to use their space, but they served coffee too!

Baby! Part II

I've been meticulously planning for my youngest sister's baby shower which finally took place last Saturday. She is decorating baby K's room with vintage posters (godzilla and super heroes) and the colors are aqua, chartreuse, and gray. So we planned the baby shower around a Godzilla/dino theme.

I ws so excited to make a few Etsy purchases that matched the decor and theme, in particular, some paper poms from pomlove and some cupcake liners from cupcakesocial.

I made the cupcake toppers myself using an online tutorial I found. I printed out little dinosaur, cupcake, and "it's a boy" graphics  for the toppers and punched them out using a circular punch I bought from the craft store. I also created an "it's a boy" circular sign to hang from the bottom of the poms.
