Baby shower (boy)

This was a boy baby shower for someone at our church.  It was an awesome team effort to cut costs and increase creativity!  It was a nature them, so we had flowers as centerpieces, leaves, and trees as decor.  I am not an artist at all, but we had two really great artists that did the drawings on the wall, the clouds and the table covers: Leila and Lorelei.  The table covers were butcher paper taped to the tables. 

I made the centerpieces by spraypainting recycled cans (Costco canned veggies).  I found blue hued hydrangea at the local farmers market for $1 a bunch!  Such cheap centerpieces.

Another woman made lime green punch.

Love the raindrops.  Not sure how Leila made these...maybe she'll comment on it and share. =) The drawing was painted with watercolor to match the other decor. 

This was an activity that we did at the shower instead of a game.  Decorating onesies for mom to take home and keep.  We broke the guests into teams and mom was able to pick her favorite.  The winning team won prizes.  Leila made these trees to match the other drawing and strung chords across so that we could pin the onesies up.  *I bought fabric markers for this activity, but probably should have stuck to puff paint.  Participants mentioned that it was difficult to use the markers because the material bunched.  Something to think about.  We could have also used fabric remnants and cut and glued to onesies, but we went with the markers to cut costs.

 

This was a delightful dessert buffet created by Kelli and Kathy.  Gourmet cupcakes made by Janella.  Shower guests loved this!
