Hello everyone! Sorry it took so long to post the rest of the baby shower details. It’s been a crazy few months; however, both showers went well! So, here are the details…once again the theme was “Cirque du Bebe”. I borrowed the theme from Hostess with the Mostess blog (http://www.hwtm.com/index.cfm?page=albums/view_album&albumid=47&categoryid=10). The decorations , food, etc. were a little expensive, so I had to get creative. They used ostrich feathers for centerpieces, and had all kinds of eclectic décor from places like TJ Maxx, Marshall’s and Kirkland’s. The website also provides free printables (http://blog.hwtm.com/2009/09/free-printables-cirque-du-bebe-blue/) to use as decorations. I purchased invitations for the first shower from polka dot design (http://www.polkadotdesign.com). Here is what the invitation looks like (see pic below).
However, they are quite expensive. Fifty invites were $99! So I had to get creative with the invitations for the second shower. It took me a couple of hours, but it was worth it. First I had to find the fonts, which I found on www.dafont.com. The name of the fonts are Ringmaster, Cast Iron and Pointedly Mad. I then looked at clip art and chose the best pictures and art to create a similar look, and this is what I came up with…
I thought I did very well! I found my centerpieces and vases at TJ Maxx for about $40. I also bought a lot of things from Hobby Lobby. I made my own signage from card stock and zebra printed playing cards.
I also found cheap masks to use as party favors.
Here are more pics from both baby showers!
