So I am back from the dead, my faithful readers. I haven't been able to log in for awhile and it finally let me on today- not sure what the deal was?
It's Thursday night and what should I be doing right now? Yes- cleaning, laundry, packing for our trip tomorrow (going to see the inlaws- 8 1/2 hours in our 2 door with our 85 lb dog) :) but no, I am blogging because I'm so excited about the success of the baby shower a friend and I threw a fellow teacher at school today!
If you remember my previous blog, my friend's theme is brown and blue and sports (specifically football- stretch for me, as I cannot stand the sport). :)
Below are pics I took today before our staff came down- I can't take credit for most of this (I wish)- my friend did the majority of it. She got most of her ideas from Etsy for her creativity and talent is all natural!

The amazing favors- picture didn't come out great, but they're little felt diapers with a pacifer hanging on it filled with candy (pacifiers were 2 lifesavers with a yellow jellybean- genious)
Activity for guests- make a onesie- "mom" picked her fave at the end. It was one that said STUD and a picture of a muffin underneath. Pretty cute. :)
The gift table prior to being filled with gifts (I made the pennant banner!)
We did books in lieu of cards.
This is my favorite thing of the entire shower- my friend and co-host made this masterpiece. Unreal.
Punch (pineapple sherbert and 7up with blue food dye), GiGi's gourmet cupcakes, and the side of my diaper cake.
My first diaper cake! :)
Favors and food
The guests signed a football for the baby with our school mascot on the front- behind it is another adorable thing my friend made- baby socks and onesies- sport themed.
Ta-Da!!! :)
I LOVE the books instead of cards! Going to keep that in mind - did you have people write notes in the front covers, too? I always do that when I gift a book to someone.
ReplyDeleteYes, people could choose to do that- I definitely did. :) Thanks for the nice compliment! Definitely keep it in mind- our mom to be LOVED It.
