Gender Neutral Baby Shower-Bows and Bow ties

My Nieces Baby Shower was such a wonderful event. Since she did not know the gender of the baby, we did a Bow ties or Bows Baby Shower. The color scheme was red, blue and grey. Then I threw in fun stripes, polka dots and chevron. 

Invitation that I created set the tone for the day. 

One cake would not have been enough. So two it was. One Chocolate and the other Vanilla. So Delicious! Heather from Sugar Fairy Celebrations did it again. She also made the beautiful cake pops and the Bow and Bow tie cookies.

We had everyone grab a clip of what their prediction was. Then we played the game of "You can't say the word baby"

Whats a party without Pinwheels! All striped paper was found at Michaels. 

The Bows and Bow ties tooth picks, utensil bags and blue straws were purchased from the Pretty Paper Shop. They were perfect. Go check out her site. 

The bowls and popcorn boxes were a great Homegoods find.

My Niece had a wonderful time and was so grateful for all that attended. Can't wait till that ball of Sunshine arrives!

Gender Neutral Bow ties or Bows Invitations

I love creating new invitations to go along with any theme that I am planning. I will be doing a Bow ties or Bows baby shower in July. I chose the colors Red, Light Blue and Grey. Here is the invitation.

 I got my inspiration from these items found at one of my favorite stores, Homegoods. These items set the tone for the party and I can't wait to incorporate them!

Up Up Away Mint Green, Yellow and Grey Baby Shower

I had the pleasure of developing an Up Up & Away Baby Shower for a friend from High School. 

She specifically requested Elephants and the colors; Mint Green, Yellow and Grey. So that's what I gave her. 

I love to be transparent with the parties that I create and show you that you can always DIY! So check out the details and all of the tutorials below. 

I wish I could take credit for the genius idea of the Hot Air balloons. I got the tutorial from Laura @ Live Craft Love. Check out the tutorial here. It was super easy but made a big impact.
Additionally, the clouds were made via a tutorial found from Andersruff.

 The mother to be is Vegan. Her sister got this cake especially for her from Sticky Fingers in Washington DC. And might I say, it was delicious! I just added a cute mini banner and Viola!

 Cotton Candy from the Dollar Tree. It was so good. I just bagged them up with these tie bags found at Michael's and added a label. 

 My Fabulous friend Heather of Sugar Fairy Celebrations always comes through. She made the delicious elephant cookies and the infamous Oreo Cookie Cake Pops!

 All the candy came from Oh Nuts. Love them!

 Staples did a great job of blowing up the backdrop sign. I just got on there website, uploaded a PDF version of the sign, chose the desired size and sent it directly to the closet store near me. It was ready within 4 hours.  

 Dessert Labels that I created. 

 The Father-to-be's mother and aunt made all of the delicious good. Look how vibrant this fruit is!

 The little grey and white bags, 36" balloon with a Hot Air Balloon netting and mint green polka dot straws(seen in the rice crispy treats) came from BonFortune.

I was so upset that I left the Hot Air Balloon netting :-(  that I got from BonFortune. But I did create this tassel to hang on the balloon.  

I displayed the invitation that I designed and made beside this fringe letter. This was fun and easy. I got this festive tutorial from Tara of One Stylish Party

 Loved how the punch matched the party decor

I also had table Hot Air Balloons. I'll give you a tutorial on how to create these in a later post. 

 Two of the three Hostesses and Friends of the Mother and Father to be.

 Erica was so surprised and had no clue that this was the day of her event. She was in awe of everything. 

 The event was a lovely time and as you can see that Mother-to-be could not be anymore happier. 

The soon to be Big Sister

The Happy Family

Hope you enjoyed!
