There were 4 girls that helped host the shower. And I guess you could say 4 guys as well helped with the shower...it was a couples shower. The boys obviously grilled. And was SUCH a good idea.
We decided to have a BBQ or BaByQ and grill burgers and hot dogs.
When I presented this idea, I had a power point with all of the baby shower ideas that I loved. The girls all made fun of me so I will never show them my ideas in a power point again. haha. So mean.
We had a ton of fun at the shower. Below are the pictures!
I made 6 tissue paper pom-poms all out of Abby's colors from the baby room. You can also see the invitation that we had our friend Miles design. He rocks and made the PERFECT invitations.
The elephant was part of the theme. The curtins in the baby room have pink baby elephants on them so we used the elephants where we could.
3 of the pom-poms were used inside over the dessert table and the other 3 were used outside hanging in the trees.
I bought Sixlets during Easter because that is the only time they use the colors above. Aren't they just so bright and fun? They are also her colors. I also bought salt-water taffy and rock cany in the colors as well at Redmonds on the way to St.Louis. Redmonds is one of the biggest candy stores and I am so lucky because everytime I drive to St.Louis I get to stop there. Haha
We also used mason jars and made pink lemonade. The jars we wrapped in silver and pink ribbon and then added raspberries on the bottom as well as straws. They were super cute and made the table look fabulous.
Yummy!
The dessert table. You can see the rock candies. I also made the sugar cookies and cupcakes. The cookies are in shapes of elephants, onsies, E's, and polka-dots.
Necco's were used as polka-dot decoration on the table.
Just an FYI- the elephant cookie cutters are actually the Republican Elephant. Ha. The other elephants I found didn't have trunks that I liked. These were perfect!
This is the backyard. We had pom-poms hanging in the trees. The wind was really blowing so they got blown around. Abby ended up taking all 6 pom-poms home with her to possibly use in the baby room. If you would like instructions on how to make them go to Martha Stewart and it will take you there. They are super easy. To start you just need 8 sheets of tissue paper for each pom-pom.
Walmart has these cute multi use buckets in the gardening section. They are about $5.00 and come in different colors. They are a little flimsy and just perfect for multiple purposess. We used them for water, filling with ice and then adding the bottles. And we used the other for all of the single chip bags that were outside by the food table. They were the perfect color and we added the pink ribbon to dress them up even more.
Emily made the BEST sign. It was placed in the front flower bed at her house. You couldn't miss where the party was!
The Mommy and Daddy to be. Ellie is due to make her appearance on July 2 and everyone is so excited to meet her!
