Now that it has been almost one year, I am finally wrapping up all the posts to my Pumpkin Baby Shower that I had for my best friend, Emily. She had her third baby back in November of last year. So we hosted a diapers and wipes shower for her the month before. Seeing that it was fall, and my house was decorated as such, we opted for a pumpkin theme. Today I am sharing all about the invitation I made.
For my best friend’s baby shower back in October, we went with a pumpkin theme. It was a perfect theme for a fall baby shower (or event for that matter). When it came to the food, I tried to incorporate pumpkins, orange, and Emily’s favorite foods.
For my best friend’s baby shower, I wanted to come up with a usable and practical guestbook. I had seen it before, and I thought building blocks would be cute. I bought a pack from Hobby Lobby. I made sure they had some blank sides. Then I came up with a cute sign to sit beside it. I had a jar I wrapped some pumpkin ribbon around, and then people could write on them and place them in the jar when finished. I think it was such a cute idea that she could easily display in the baby’s room!
My best friend’s baby shower was a pumpkin theme since it happened in October. Her favorite cake is red velvet, so I decided to do that since it kind of had the fall look with the colors. I ordered from our favorite bakery, Edgar’s. I wanted a cute cake topper, so I decided to just make one myself. I found a cute font, and incorporated a pumpkin with it. I had orange and gold glitter cardstock that I used to make it with. Then I attached the topper to toothpicks. It wasn’t the most stable topper, but it held up the entire party, and I think it turned out cute!
My best friends baby shower was a pumpkin themed shower. Since her shower was in October, it was such an easy theme. It was also super easy to decorate for too!
When hosting my best friend’s baby shower back in October, the theme was easy…pumpkins! But when it came to favors, I wanted something edible, easy to make, and cute! Well she LOVES candy corn and peanuts, so I thought it would be a fun favor to make!
My best friend, Emily, recently had a new baby. We were able to sneak in a baby shower a few weeks before, however. It was just close family and friends, but it was still special. We opted for a simple diapers and wipes shower. And since it was October, I played off of the pumpkin theme.
For Emily’s baby shower, I definitely wanted some sort of guest book. I opted to keep it simple though. I bought a cute blue/green picture frame from Hobby Lobby that already had a mat with it. Then the “picture” was the invitation. I had everyone sign the mat, then placed it in the frame to send home with Emily.
Whenever I start making invitations for any event, I always start out saying I will just pay and have them made and printed elsewhere. But then I start looking at things, and I tell myself I can make them myself for much cheaper. So here we are again, haha. I saw similar ideas of this invitations on Pinterest, but I don’t have any direct links. It is just where I found my inspiration. I made these invitations for my best friend for her baby shower recently.
For my best friend’s baby shower, I wanted to do a favor that I knew would be something I could use. I say the because I almost always make too many or forget to tell people about them! So I opted for chocolate!
One of the things I find hardest about planning any event is what kind of food to serve! It really can be hard because you want to have plenty of food, a variety for everyone, but not also not spend a fortune. The same can be said about the baby shower I had for my best friend a while back. I mainly tried to serve food that I knew she liked, and I also shopped BOGO sales at Publix to help keep the cost down.
I have made many diaper cakes at this point for various baby showers/sprinkles. But this was my first diaper cake for a little boy! My best friend recently had a baby boy, and I hosted a baby shower for her a while back. It was so much fun getting to use lots of blues instead of all the pink we are used to! I kept the diaper cake simple, but it was definitely all boy!
One of the pieces of decor I used at Emily’s baby shower was a onesie banner. I placed the banner over my fireplace, and it was sort of a centerpiece to the living room where everyone would be sitting. I made the onesies using my Silhouette Cameo of course.
My best friend, Emily, recently had a baby boy! It is the first boy for both sides of their family and for the both of us. As you may have noticed throughout my blog, we spend a lot of time with Emily and her daughter Lydia. Lydia and Melody are just two weeks apart in age, and I suspect over time, her new boy will end up just like a little brother to Melody too! I hosted a baby shower for her back in October. I plan to go into more details of the crafts I did for the shower in the future, but follow along today to read all about her shower in general.
I recently hosted a Baby Sprinkle for my sister in law. For her last baby shower, I made bookmark favors. I considered making a favor that incorporated sprinkles to continue with the theme. I thought maybe actual sprinkles, or some sort of food dipped in sprinkles and served in cute snack bags. But I really wanted something people would use. So I decided the favors should be ponytail holders!
I recently hosted a Baby Sprinkle for my sister in law. I wanted to do some kind of fun guestbook that was different. I did some looking around online, and I decided to do a form of Mad Libs.
Since I have a Silhouette Cameo and a heat press, I thought it was only fitting to make a few onesies for my sister-in-law's baby sprinkle that I hosted at my mother-in-law's house. My MIL's house has a fireplace as soon as you walk in. Ok-not literally as soon as you walk in, but you see it as soon as you walk in. Anyhow, I knew this would be the perfect place to hang a few onesies.
I recently hosted a Baby Sprinkle for my sister in law. Since she already has one daughter, she has lots of things already that she can use of Caroline's. However, the big thing she really needed was diapers and wipes. So I decided that one way to make sure she received a lot of diapers was to do a diaper raffle.
For my sister in law's baby sprinkle, I bought a large box of diapers to make a diaper cake. I had so many left over, I decided to use them to make something else. I opted for a diaper wreath. I had never made one, so I thought I would give it a try.
For my sister in law's baby sprinkle, I really wanted to play on the sprinkle theme. This included the invitation. I decided I wanted the background of the invitation to be covered in sprinkles. I went back and forth about how many sprinkles to put on it, but I opted for the most amount of sprinkles I could fit! I printed them on white cardstock and cut the page in half.
