i never posted pictures from my sister's baby shower!!
now "baby owen" is 9 month old
amelia!
{once again, my photography skills are really lacking}
i shared the invite awhile back
but i just didn't get the shower pictures up!
we hosted the shower at our family's thanksgiving.
we have a huge family (my dad has 11 siblings!)
so we celebrate in a knights of columbus hall
in the small town he grew up in.
decorating was a bit of a challenge since this is
what usually takes place in the hall.
............
my sister is obsessed with gardening...
like made need an intervention
{backdrop is made from square paper plates with squares of paper}
so we thought a garden shower was perfect!
we carried the theme throughout the desserts:
chocolate cupcakes with crushed oreo dirt
and tiny candy veggies
lettuce cake balls
pie pops
{super easy with pillsbury pie crust & homemade jam}
they are standing in a bottle drying rack!
toadstool cupcakes
chocolate stuffed raspberries
{berry baskets from shop sweet lulu}
we also threw in some cute birds
 |
| these are desserts in a jar which were a big hit! |
mini pies
my mom made these and could not understand
what was wrong with one big pie!
but how cute are they?!
bird on the banner
...........
with so many people to seat,
we have large folding tables and folding chairs.
to spruce things up without spending a fortune,
i bought lots of burlap and cut runners for the tables
my aunts had already gotten fall fabric
for tablecloths so it all worked nicely together.
centerpiece
candles in veggies
i had seen a tutorial for how to make these billy button flowers,
but it did not go well.
i went back to hobby lobby to get more
wool roving and they actually had these felt balls in
the perfect colors!
all the relatives added their fingerprints to a tree
mommy and daddy making their fingerprint birds
{sisters}
my two sisters becca (the baker) and cathy (co artist)
did just as much work on this party.
i think it turned out to be fun and original.
check out my pinterest board to see the inspiration
for so much of this party!
as the marathon of baby showers continues,
i bring you the invite for my sister's shower.
my sister is obsessed with her vegetable garden.
like needs a 12 step program obsessed.
like spends most of her free time in the spring
planning, researching & planting obsessed.
like grows seedlings in her guest room obsessed!
i think you all get the picture!
so a garden themed baby shower it will be!
{owen is her last name}
it was my husband's idea to use garden puns in the wording
"lettuce" celebrate, the little "pumpkin"
and we'll "pepper" her with gifts.
she likes simple, so i used brown kraft paper.
you can see down by the picture of the address labels
that the back of the invite was the polka dot paper
i used as a backdrop for these pictures.
the baby's name will be amelia, so that is one of the garden signs.
i added a strip of "grass" that i designed and cut with the cricut.
the finishing touch was teal twine and a hot pink button.
i created green dot wrap around address labels to brighten up
the brown kraft paper envelopes.
check out all the party inspiration on my pinterest board!
shower pictures will be up next week.
