This weekend, we had a baby shower. It was one of the first ones that I was involved in planning and had volunteered to be in charge of decorations. And i loved every bit of it!
I realize, there's a special kind of joy I get from party planning, and decorating... creating special memories for someone. Clicking pictures is just part of it! :) Leaving you with some of what I did...
A Wishing Wall...
Wishing Trees are a common thing, so I wanted what I created to be somewhat different. I used foam boards, color craft paper, baby diaper clips and some strings to create this. Guests could leave thoughtful notes to the new family and string their thoughts and pin them on the wall. The mom was excited to take home these wishes for the baby and preserve a memory!
My favorite was "A poop in time, saves nine (shirts)!"

Baby Name Centre
The mom and dad were still debating names for the new born. We put up a corner where guests could drop name suggestions, that the mom and dad to be could take home to consider :)

Centerpieces
If you are the kind that doesn't quite agree with Girls are Pink and Boys are Blue (like me), then you'd want to go neutral with Yellow and White flowers and simple notes on the vases as center pieces!
Of Cakes, Sashes and Rosettes
Ofcourse... :)

Party Favors from SIL!
The SIL of the mom to be was in charge of the Favors, which we displayed closer to the exit door. Some store bought streamers and another black board notice board and voila!
Documenting these to remind myself that these are things I love to do. :)
Hope you got some ideas from here for some of your own parties...
