Themed Shower for Baby Boy

My daughter is having her first baby in a few weeks, so with the help of friends and family, we threw her a shower. Because it is January, we went with a "Baby, It's Cold Outside!" theme and served soups and artisan bread. I am pleased to say it was a success and I can hardly wait until this little guy comes into the world!

Check out this adorable diaper cake/centerpiece made by her aunt Cindy.

Baby Girl Diaper Cake

Other than the fact that I forgot to bring my Nikon and had to use the camera on my stupid phone (as opposed to smart phone), my niece's baby shower was a great success. I am convinced that open house style is the way to go!

My sister and I are not professional artists, but trust me when I say everything was adorable. The house was decorated in the same pink and green hues used in our invitations. We served Rice Kripsy treats and chocolate covered pretzels, both with pink sprinkles, deli sandwiches, a vegetable tray, pink lemonade with floating limes and diaper shaped party favors filled with Hershey Kisses.

I only managed to get one stupid, pathetic, way too dark, blurry, half-way decent picture of the diaper cake my sister and her daughters made. Sorry.

Use your imagination. It was cute! There are hair clips and pacifiers and other things on the cake that can't be seen in this picture.

Baby Stats Questionnaire for Baby Shower Open House

My sister and I are throwing an open house baby shower this week-end. We sent out the cutest invitations that I custom ordered from Little Bean Designs on Etsy .

I was very happy with her work! She finished my order quickly and I highly recommend her.

Since it's hard to play games at an open house, my sister and I came up with the following Baby Stats Questionnaire for guests to fill out while they socialize.

When the shower's all said and done, my niece will have a cute little book of stats and well wishes for a keepsake. :)
