Baby Showers Galore

It is BABY season or so it feels like it. If I am not hearing someone is pregnant or that they just found out what they are having (fun!) or baby showers then babies are being born !
Love it, new life, sweet innocent life that brings sleepless nights, ha.
Moving on.

I had the chance to help throw my dear friend, Courtney a baby shower. She is having her second boy and last baby. So much to be celebrated. So me and her other friend and sister in law started to plan and it was elegant, simple and just how she liked it.
I was in charge of invites, pasta salad and a game. Easy.
The theme, orange and white chevron print with elephants, love.
(P.S. not easy to find orange chevron fabric these days, or orange anything)


The game I picked was simple, guess the baby qtips.......however my spray painting the lid didnt work so well. Oh well I had to use it anyways and from afar it was cute.
                                       CAN YOU GUESS HOW MANY Q-TIPS ARE IN HERE ?

 The simple but adorable diaper cake I made with the mama's sister in law. She was amazed at how fast it took us, I think Ive done like 10+ diaper cakes, lol.

My pasta salad ingredients, thanks Splendor everyone loved it !!!

my gift to the mom....to easy to find a grey or orange box but I did find this at Michaels....I am really into using baskets or containers they can re-use for the nursery to put gifts in.

Sign that I ordered from Divulge with Flair, it was perfect to put up at the baby shower and will cute in his room. Again I had to get a plain raw wood frame and paint it.

 Got these sweet matching month to month stickers from etsy at a shop called Budda Bellies. They designed them exactly how I described. And are packaged so cute !!

 In lieu of a card we asked everyone to bring a book, so baby even though big brother has lots of books could start his own collection. This was the book I found. Perfect to fit the theme.

 Another favorite shop of mine is My Lil Luv Bug, Carrie is awesome and I have shopped over there for awhile now.

                                   Some more elephants from Target of course.

 And this super sweet tie from Heather over at Lo Lo and Olive is great ! Very sweet and high quality work and great prices. Love Love Love shopping at her shop.

Some gymboree outfits I had been saving that I bought at one of their huge sales of course, talking 2.99 and 3.99 :-)

                                            Some practical items as well.

And my FAVORITE, her custom made hospital sign to hang on the hospital room when the baby is room with all his stats. She is a whiz at graphics and I will be using her for all my hospital sign needs.

**Ladybows will no longer be making hospital signs, but feel free to see if Abby at Divulge with Flair has time to.

                                                            The food bar.

    The cake! To die for that cute baby shower invite that I ordered from Divulge with Flair and a basket of elephant sugar cookies for the guest to take home made by the mama's mother in law.    
                 

                      Cute decorations by the mama's sister in law, Emily.

                                              Up close of the elephants.

                                    The mama to be again and the grandmas.

                                                                 The hostesses.

                                             Me with Courtney, friends since middle school.

           And this is the cutest big brother I have seen lately, he is ready to meet his baby brother.
