Amanda's Baby Shower

One of my very favorite things to do is throw a shower ... Whether it be a baby or bridal shower they are always so much fun and the best places to do cute little decorations.  I had the honor of being involved in my Cousin Amanda's baby shower {which is why I went to Buffalo a few weekends ago} and got to do so many cute little decorations for her.

How cute does she look??

Her theme was Chevron with Navy Blue and Grey

This was her invitation I made .. and can be found HERE on my Etsy Shop.

The center pieces were white and blue balloons anchored down by these cute vases.  I also made each table a grey chevron table runner to match the theme. 

B is for Boy Baby Shower Centerpieces 

This is all could see of Amanda when we picked up the balloons 

and this is all she could see of me!

Each setting got a little diaper packet that included ... Pretzel Favors, Wishes for Baby, An Envelope {to address for Thank You cards}, a little blue or grey circle, a pen, spoons {for the baby food tasting game} and instructions for everything in the diaper! You can find out how to make these cute diapers with a template from Martha Stewart {Here}

And all those little circles everyone had to write their name on ended up being this:

Baby Shower Balloon Guest Book

Each diaper also had a favor of four hand dipped chocolate covered pretzels

We did 280 of them!! 

I dipped in chocolate and Amanda covered with sprinkles 

Gram and Aunt Amy came by to help with all the prep too! 

 Here are a few more pictures of things from the shower ... it really was a great time!

I also made her a gift, something I started when Brandy had her first child and carried on with Marie's first child and now Amanda's.  I like to tailor the alphabet for the baby's room and what they will most likely like {take a close look at Letter B}
