1st Birthday Bash

My friend Jacque recently through a darling 1st birthday party for her daughter and I'm excited to feature it on my blog today.  Scarlett turned one just a few weeks ago and her party was so sweet.  Enjoy the pink & gold decorations and all the special details.

Hooray for a great party!!

Bunny Nursery Tour

 

Baby Scarlett has a BUNNY themed nursery

that you need to see!

It's adorable and her mom spent lots of time gathering all of the perfect items for it.  She DIYed, collected and bargain hunted to come up with the perfect nursery for her daughter.

Take a look:

pink + gray + bunnies 

Lovely lighting:

 Bunnies and special touches everywhere!!

unique containers

 A darling bunny mobile that was worth the splurge!

 Remember at her baby shower people brought books for her library and put their thumb prints on a tree?  Here they are displayed proudly in her nursery.

 Scarlett's big sister, Munchie, is a fan of her rocker :)

Look at the creative system Jacque has for her daughter's bows, headbands and shoes.

Isn't it a darling nursery??

Classic and sweet.

It could easily transition to a big girl room.

Leave any questions in the comments and I'll have Jacque help me answer them.

Flamingo Baby Girl Shower

I got the pleasure of going to a lovely couple's baby shower in June.  

The decor was so pretty and bright.  I figured you'd like to see the flamingos and other party decor up close since it was so neat.  There were tons of patterns, textures and really nice details put into all of the decorations.  Think lanterns, table runners, wrapping paper, straws, flowers, interactive games and delicious treats.  Hope it gives you some ideas for baby girl showers.

Without further adieu...

Baby Shower for Baby Barnette

The guests were asked to bring a book to start a library for baby girl and to bring their gifts UNWRAPPED.  The parents did not open any gifts at the shower.  Each guest tagged their gift as they arrived at the event and then each gift was put on display for everyone to see.  This could be a fun option if you are short on time, have an open house style shower or want to be ecofriendly and save paper.

There was also an activity station for guests to:

1. address thank you note envelopes for the parents to be

 2. stamp their fingerprints on a tree for the baby's nursery

 3. Give advice for the new parents & hang it on a tree

4. We played a few games.  

Match the baby picture to the person, celebrity name game and what's in your purse.

A lovely shower for the parents to be!!

 The tables were really pretty - 

tons of patterns and pretty things to look at from ALL angles!!

Olive was thrilled to receive one of the few baby invitations.  We had a talk and decided she could go if she was on her best behavior.  She agreed and had a great time at her first shower.  We went with my parents and enjoyed ourselves.

 We were thrilled to be in town for their special baby celebration.
