Sisters Baby Shower

So this past weekend I threw a baby shower for my sister. Over the past 3 months, I have worked pretty hard on making her decorations. I hand made just about everything. Her gift was the shower and the two diaper bouquets, I made. I also gave her lots of baby care items with the games we played. I'm going to just show you some of the things I made by hand. Definitely, easy to throw a nice shower for a small budget!



I made this for my sister as part of her gift. I make them for all my friends who have babies.

 

 

 

This was her corsage that I made myself. I whipped it up the night before because I kind of forgot! Not bad from just walking through the store and picking up a couple things before a dinner date.

 

 

This was the favors, guest book and diaper game table. The diaper game was the cool one where people just write funny messages on the diapers!

 

 

I made these huge paper flowers and used those to cover up the tape that was holding up the clothes line. We went through the outfits she already had for Avery and picked  a bunch that we liked. I hung them around the lodge. It was a great hit. Easy, cheap and a big hit!

 

-You can also see my tables here. I used pink and white table cloths and all the centerpieces were hand made. I made two diaper bouquets and one with a stuffed elephant. You can kind of see both here. People showed up too early and I was still trying to get things finished. Then people helped clean up early and I just never got around to taking close up pictures! Gr! All that work!

 

 

 

Here's a picture of a regular table without a big centerpiece (too many tables). It's a diaper cake layer, about 7 diapers, with a pop flower on top. I used some wood sticks to stick in the middle of the diapers. Looked pretty awesome. I had small hurricanes with white and pink daisies. I also had light pink tulle and pearl strands in all the vases/centerpieces. My sister is obsessed with the pearl strands.

 

 

These were a PAIN! I made 25 of these water bottles. It took hours to make these but my sister really wanted them. They seemed to get a lot of comments. So at least there is that. I seriously, hated the fact that I had to throw so many in the trash at the end of the shower. AHHH. the pain. haha

My sister's friend made this cake. It was gorgeous! It even had some sparkle on it and was just so pretty. My sister really hated to cut it.

 

Here's a picture of the gift table with the hanging clothes line.

 

 

Here's another picture of the other side of the room. You can kind of see my tables a little better (centerpieces) which were all moved around.
