I recently helped with some decorations for a friend's baby shower (hello Emily). The shower had an elephant theme, so it made decorating fun. Without a lot of money or time to spend on decorations, I came up with some simple printables to tie in the theme.
I made a Welcome Baby sign for the door...
Inspiration found here |
... simple little label for some circus peanut favors,...
...and a few little elephant medallions that were hung over the refreshment table.
You can find the printables here: welcome baby sign, elephant party favor tags, elephant images (1,2,3). They were all printed on card stock. Super simple-just the way we like it.
I also hung a few fabric pennant banners in pinks and yellows. I picked up a few helium balloons at the zurchers (which is also where I got the pink striped bags for the favors). Rather than buying balloon weights, I tied the balloons to some mason jars that were stuffed with matching sheer fabrics-bright and cheery.
While at the shower I was able to meet Carol, a reader. It was the first time that I'd had someone recognize me from my blog. (Hello Carol!).
Thanks for reading!
The peanut things is very unique.
ReplyDeleteHello Tricia! Hahah! The baby shower was great! You guys did such a fabulous job! And yes, I am a huge fan of your blog! You do such wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteI hope I didn't come off too strong when I was like, "I know you!!!"
Elephants and Circus Peanuts hold such a special place in my heart and I loved every bit of my party! Thank you for helping Annah, I know she greatly appreciated it. I am putting the topper of the circus peanuts in Rubye's baby journal. I am so lucky to know you!
ReplyDeleteP.S.
your illustrations are hanging in her room. I love them!
Nice baby shower theme. As for the baby shower decorations, I have some elephant banners, alternating blue and pink, what you think? I think that can be a good decor for this theme.
