Garden Baby Shower Luncheon
Today I hosted a baby shower for a dear friend who is expecting a little boy in less than a week, hooray! This was an extra fun shower to plan for because the guest list was for a dozen lovely ladies {rather than 30}, so I was able to spend some extra time on the details–I even used real plates {oooo, ahhhh}.
I chose a “spring time” theme in turquoise, lime green,
orange and yellow.
I made these Pom Poms using a tutorial from Leanne at Organize and Decorate Everything. I love them so much–I wish I could leave them up all year round {and maybe I will, lol}.
To stay within the “garden/backyard” theme I bought a 12 pack of mason jars at my local grocery store and used them for cups. I used extra large malt straws purchased from Michael’s.
I made this banner using scrapbook paper and pre-cut letters that come in a pack {also available at Michael’s}. I glue gunned each paper flag down on to a long strand of turquoise ribbon.
The theme was “Cute as a Button”.
I glue gunned this trim around vases from the dollar store.
I threw some of the pinwheels in with my flower arrangements.
Yummy Spring time cupcakes.
Summer salad with strawberries, mandarin oranges, sliced almonds and a sweet honey vinaigrette dressing.
Homemade chicken salad sandwiches on croissants.
No luncheon is complete without WATERMELON {my fav}!
Smorgasbord:
Most of my decorations and favors were used with supplies from the Dollar Tree and the sale section at Michael’s {and I’m not just saying that}. If you want to know where I purchased anything specific leave me a comment and I will get back to you.
All in all, one rather awesome baby shower!
