SHOWERS

Recently I got to do a baby shower for my sis in law Anna, and a bridal shower for my little sister Lauren. In between these showers we also had Daxon and Mason’s birthdays. Needless to say it’s been pretty busy around here!

The first shower was for Anna. Her and my brother Ryan are expecting their first baby in a few weeks! They are having a little boy and naming him Easton Ryan. If you know Ryan and Anna then you know they are very into baseball. I tried gearing the shower towards baseball without actually using a baseball theme. I decided to go with red, white, and blue for an all American look and think it turned out so cute! We had the shower at 10:30 so decided to do a brunch. It was complete with a breakfast casserole, muffins, donuts, pastries, fruit and juice.

Isn’t she such cute prego lady? I think so!

I love this flower arrangement. I took a clear vase and wrapped it with jute. Then arranged it with an assortment of white flowers. Super cute and easy!

I used the things that I bought her to decorate by hanging them from a rope with clothespins! Such a cute, cheap way to add some color in the room!

This is Anna and her sister holding up the baseball bedding that Anna’s mom MADE for her. It was adorable to say the least!

 

Next was Lauren’s shower. This one was so much fun to do because my sister Julie and sil Anna helped with it and so I felt like with all of us working on it, we could go a little crazy! We decided to go with Lauren’s wedding colors which were orange, lime green, and a bright sea blue. It was so fun and summery (is that even a word?)!

We stopped our frantic assembly of everything for a quick shot of the hostesses.

We bought vases and plates from the DI, spray painted them blue and glued the plates to the vases to make different leveled serving platters. I also spray painted the bucket that the water bottles in to match. (It was from Anna’s shower … used to be red)

This shower was in the afternoon so we served finger foods like fruit and veggie trays, pinwheels, mini chicken salad sami’s, mini cupcakes, cream puffs, and an assortment of truffles.

We also got frames form the DI, spray painted them white, put a cute piece of scrapbook paper inside and then cut out a vinyl saying to put on the glass. Julie and Anna did these and they turned out so cute! We used them to adorn the gift table as well as other random places in the room.

Lauren had a great turn out and ended up with tons of great gifts. I think after all of her showers she ended up with 4 or 5 crockpots!

We didn’t get many shots of the guests but of coarse managed to squeeze on in of the beautiful little girl! She loved being at the party and quickly became the center of attention.

I of coarse had to embarrass her a little . . . it’s hard to tell from the picture but she was bright red. We practically had to make her pull it out of the bag!
