The Month O' Baby Showers

I dubbed the past month (mid Oct-mid Nov) the month of baby showers. I have had the privilege of being a hostess for 3 and hosted one of those at my house. I did the invites and printed materials (decor, etc) for all 3 and had soo much fun! Here is a recap:

*note: as always, all names and addresses are changed in invites for privacy*

Shower 1: Lil' Slugger Theme for Kendra and baby Kenson arriving SOON

It was so fun throwing a shower for my sweet friend, Kendra. She and her husband, Jason are members of our Sunday School class at church. They are such a sweet couple and we are so excited that they get to meet their little slugger, Kenson, soon! I am so bummed because I took pictures before but once people started arriving I sat my camera down so I don't have any pictures with the mommy to be!

We had baseball game food which was a big hit, especially the mini corn dogs!

One of the other hostesses made this banner for baby Kenson

Shower 2: Bebe Shower (French theme) for Tiffany and baby Kirby arriving right after Christmas

Well this is certainly not Tiffany's first time on the blog. She is one of my dearest friends and was so fun to "shower". Tiff is one of the most selfless friends I've ever had... she is always worried about everyone else so it was fun to have a day that was all about HER! I did my best to keep everything a secret up until the shower which drove her crazy! She is fluent in French and loves all things French so that was why we went with that theme. I can't wait to meet baby Kirby in December!

The invite

This greeted everyone as they walked in and the "K" cookies were the favors

The signs said drinks in French and then "Lil Miss Kirby Patisserie"

I used my Silhouette machine to make the banner, food labels, and cupcake toppers

I love getting to pull out my grandmothers old coffee cups!

Shower 3: Not so themey, inspired by dog silhouettes shower for Lauren (Aunt Pickle) and baby Eli arriving in February

Lauren is also not a stranger to this blog. She is one of my oldest friends. We met as sophomores in high school and have remained friends since. We lived together in college where we shared our love for baking and cleaning and still get together whenever we can for "bake dates". I was so thrilled to be a part of her shower for Eli!

I made this diaper wreath from a tutorial on a friend's blog, it was super easy to make and ended up so cute!

We had a candy bar as the favor

mmmm mini pancakes... the food in general for this shower was crazy delicious. We had donut hole filled chicken salad (pre-glaze), crepes, mini pancakes, and the list goes on...

This was our hostess gift for Lauren. We got this navy woven basket off of her registry and then we each put a little something for Eli in it. We all went in together to get the fabric for the little quilt peaking out. I made it but I forgot to take a picture of it! I love how it turned out, super cozy and adorable.

As you can probably see, I saw things that worked for one shower and then recycled it for the next! Biggest hit? The diaper notes (I mean who doesn't want to read a funny note upon tackling a middle of the night blow out?)

Yay for new babies!
