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!
