Up Up and Away Baby Shower Theme

My Goddaughter is expected to arrive in less than a month! I am so excited being a first time auntie and God mommy. My sissy is a first time mom and this is all just a bunch of first times for all of us! Mel and I have similar visions and we weren’t very keen on having a very gender centric shower. We knew straight away that we didn’t want too much PINK, although I love the colour pink, it wasn’t something we were leaning towards. We wanted something more playful and unique. We started planning as soon as we had a shower date confirmed and below is how our vision came to life. We’d like to thank Pinterest and our family for all their help in executing this event :p !

Theme: Up Up and Away

Theme colours: Shades of coral, mints and gold
Here is the invitation, information card and thank you labels that I designed for the shower. I blocked out personal information from the invitations for privacy purposes :).

Many ladies are doing books instead of cards for their baby showers, so we included a small information card with the invitations. I think it’s a great way to build a book collection for the little one!

The thank you labels we created on sticker paper and pealed and placed them on top of the nutella jar favours.

Thank you favours: Melaney has been craving Nutella and Nina loves it just as much! We decided it would be a cute idea to tie in one of Mel’s cravings as a thank you favour for our guests. Who doesn’t love a delicious jar of Nutella? We added a cute little white and mint skirt and a gold spoon as an added “wow factor” for the favour piece. The Thank you labels were placed on the top.

Center pieces: We knew we wanted to incorporate the Up Up and Away theme significantly through the centre pieces. So we decided, with a little help from Pinterest to do a “hot air balloon” centre piece. It was rather simple to assemble. We used square vases from the dollar store and wrapped them in burlap material. We added some floral foam to help preserve the flowers and made arrangements with white, coral and orange flowers. We then took different colours of ribbon and glued them on opposite sides of the vase. In order to cut costs and to make the centre piece more firm, we spray painted balloon sticks and just blew up the balloons normally instead of using helium. We alternated between a pink coral and a peach colour balloon to add variation in colour.

Guestbook: We wanted to incorporate our theme and a unique twist on the guestbook so we decided to get guests to sign a Dr. Seuss book titled “Oh the places you’ll go”. We asked guests to not only sign their names but to leave a wish for Nina. A cute keepsake that Mel can read on her own and Nina can look back on when she is older.

Garlands and Banners: I made a couple of different garlands for the baby shower. A hot air balloon garland, a glitter circle ribbon garland and a tassel garland. I also made a banner that fit the theme and colour of our the baby shower. Below is a glimpse of the entrance table that had some games, the hot air balloon garland and the banner in the background.

Additional fun: When I went to my friend Erin’s daughter’s 2nd birthday, I couldn’t help but fall in love with the chalk board piece she had at the event. I think it’s a creative way to get to know the guest, display information and get creative. So, I knew I had to make one for Mel’s shower. We included due dates, how far long Mel is, cravings and more. People loved it and it added such a bright feel to the shower.

I also love taking themes to the next level and with the help of my trusted Oksana and the prima’s we put together a beautiful photo booth for the shower. We designed props and a cloud back drop that was up against some brown paper. I thought the brown paper was cute because it tied in with the burlap and browns we had throughout the shower. People loved it and really got use out of it!

Hope you all have a fabulous day and remember that all stationary products are available for purchase. E-mail us at info@amodachic.com to place your orders. Tons of themes and colours to pick from and create!

Colour Of The Year- Marsala

Leave a reply

Pantone’s colour of the year “Marsala” was a huge change in gears compared to Pantone’s colour choices for the the last six years. We’ve been presented with gorgeous, beautiful and vibrant colours from radiant orchid (2014- one of my favourites) and 2011’s Honeysuckle.

It was a change for the best and perhaps a way to incorporate warm tones throughout the whole year since we were able to sport neons and other bright colours in the fall and winter for quite some time. It was time to change the trend around.

Marsala (which may sound familiar as it’s the name of an Italian dessert wine that sports amber and brown tones) has been described as “equally appealing to both men and women” and “one that works well with many skin tones”.

Marsala is going to be a fun and versatile colour to work with this year whether it’s in our homes, through our fashion choices or in our beauty products. The rich undertones the colour possesses and overall earthy feel, Marsala will leave her mark whether she is used as an accent colour or the main star of the night.
This problem is caused due to various reasons like excitement, less control sildenafil generico viagra on emotions, improper way of doing intercourse and other. But online pharmacies recommend you to buy Norvasc as this is an effective treatment for high blood pressure as the associated deposits in the blood vessels impede the blood flow levitra from india to your organs, including the penile region.

We’ve been seeing Marsala making her way into 2015 long before hand- especially in the beauty community with lipstick trends. It’s become a great pop of colour that looks natural and again, it’s tones work well with everybody which is a plus.

We have a full year ahead of us to incorporate (if we haven’t already) Marsala in any way that we can. So, here at amodachic, we decided to keep the inspiration rolling. We’ll have a few posts coming up featuring “I am MARSALA” – home, beauty and fashion. We hope you’ll be inspired and use Marsala in any way you can.

So ladies and gents, what are your thoughts on Marsala? Is this a Yay or Nay in your books?

Design Love Planner Review

Leave a reply

It may be an odd thing to review, but if you are anything like moi- you’ll appreciate it.
Agendas, planners, calendars- are things I am particular about in my life. I tend to reference my love for “to do lists” and “being uber organized” as the reasons why I am so selective with the tool I use to organize myself with.

I used to go through multiple ones a year (change them mid-year or every couple of months) and only because I found something I fell in love with more or found to be more practical. I used to be in a race with time at the end of the year to find the perfect planner- only to find myself settling with something “I can use” just to make sure I had my ducks in a row for the New Year.

This year, I resulted in a different approach. After parading around in book stores and shops for the perfect planner, I gave up and quickly resorted to an online purchase (touch!). Like clothes, this is something I usually try to avoid purchasing online. However, I was excited when I found a couple of great options and finally made my decision.

The Design Love Planner is more than just a stylish planner made with “love” as designer Marissa would say, it’s an organized bundle of joy. As a person that likes to take on multiple tasks and constantly fill my days with endless things to do, this planner has just what I am looking for. Below are my pros and cons of the 2015 Design Love Planner.

Pros:
There is burden of last minute delivery on the cialis 40 mg frankkrauseautomotive.com listed location. This happens to a man when the blood of in the penis is not female viagra http://frankkrauseautomotive.com/testimonial/honest-straight-up-awsome/ adequate enough for an erection. So if you want to get treat your sexual dysfunction in an effective and viagra generic sildenafil safe way. As we have already mentioned, an online pharmacy has replaced the corner drug store for most people, and for a short period of time (between thirty minutes and check out description order cialis four hours) it is an effective solution. Design – beautiful, chic and modern. The gold foil really adds a sense of character, I also love the ribbons as book marks which really helps with saving important sections in your planner.
Organization / Layout – I love the fact that this planner has multiple organizational tools such as a “to do list” section, two types of weekly/daily views and a monthly view. It really helps with seeing your month, day or week in perspective and since we all know that I love to do lists, this is especially more fun for me. It also has two pockets for storage (one in the front, one in the back) and a budget sheet for the month.
Size – the overall size is perfect for a planner. You’ll have no issues carrying this around in your purse.
Added features – I love the added touch of the introduction page from the designer, it gives it a personal feel and some tips on how to use the planner. I also enjoyed the inspirational monthly quotes that you’ll find at the start of the month alongside with monthly “goals”. I think it’s a great way to keep people motivated and inspired.

Cons:
Bulky– At first glance I said “wow this is a bulky planner.” But once you see the additional organizational tools (a daily view, monthly view, weekly view) and additional pages for each month (notes, inspiration quotes etc.) you’ll see quickly how it adds up. I personally do not mind it now as I have gotten used to it.

Daily view – I was thrown off at first at how the daily view was outlined but once I got the hang of it, it became second nature. I think the daily view and how it was designed is targeted to people who do a lot during their “mornings and days”. Compared to someone like myself who has an office job, Monday to Friday, 9-5. I don’t have much to report in the morning or day- unless it’s a meeting or the occasional appointment. Since there was not much space for “night”, I have used the “day” portion as my “after work” space and write down everything there.

Overall I am content with my Design Love Planner. It is perfect for those who love to be organized such as myself and who are looking for something chic while doing so. They are sold out on a majority of their online avenues but I was able to purchase mine from here. Enjoy 🙂

Beadles Bracelets and Fluttering Fighters Collaboration

I had the pleasure of watching and being a part of the Beadles Bracelets growth. What once was a start-up bracelet company that had limited options and was mainly targeted to our circle of friends, is now “in demand” within three major countries: Canada, Portugal and the US.

The brand has expanded from just bracelets to necklaces, earrings, rosaries and more. All products are individually handmade and offer you the luxury of customizing any piece to your own desire. When Leanne and I sat down to forecast our future fundraising tactics, we immediately thought of collaborating with Beadles.

Beadles has worked with numerous charities, organizations, foundations and galas in the past and present.
