I have been planning this baby shower ever since we found out that this baby is a GIRL!!! I made a "master baby shower" excel spreadsheet that had tabs for guest list, decor ideas, budgets for a couple different locations/options, games and favors. What can I say? I am a planner for a living! A little overboard? Maybe.
My mom hosted the shower and took my ideas and ran with them - except there was a lot that she didn't share with me. She wanted me to have some surprises... by that she meant that all I could know was the games and favors because I made them! Have I mentioned I am not a huge fan of surprises? It is not that I doubted her, by any means, she has fabulous taste. I just don't like not knowing things.
The theme was Bohemian, with tee pees, arrows, dream catchers, etc. Here are some pictures that my mom took with her phone.
I made all of those feather napkin ties - one at a time... 60 of them...
Hubs helped me open gifts and these were our "gift opening thrones"
The guestbook
An activity - we had everyone write on diapers for us for those late night diaper changes
Awkward of me - but how AMAZING is the GIANT dream catcher my mom made that is hanging behind me? I can't wait to have it in the nursery!
I had a slideshow of my bump pictures playing during the shower. I also announced her name during the slideshow.
A game - guess how many barrettes
Now here were some of the things I made:
These were the favors. I wonder how many people have not drank theirs yet?
Another game - guess the size of my belly! I said whoever had the tiniest twine should have won ;)
Ja'Maia and I made these to go on top of the cupcakes - they took SOOO long!
It was beautiful and I had so much fun! It just went by so fast!
