Sharing a Great Idea!

I love planning a party. Especially when it's for a good friend or family member. In this case, it was both. I love all the little details and my sister in law is so great, I wanted her baby shower to be perfect.

My super crafty, amazing friend in Texas gave me a great idea that was so fun, I had to pass it on for anyone else who is planning a baby shower anytime in the future.

You start with a pack of onesies.
So much of the boy stuff these days is orange and while at first I wasn't sure how I felt about that, I'm really loving orange! I used the sports theme and colors from these onesies to come up with all the decorating ideas for the baby shower.

The diaper cake. (Hunter thinks this is sooo cool. He wanted me to take a picture of it so he could take it to school for show and tell.)

The party favors.

Gift list, tip book and of course, prizes!

Then, you hang those cute onesies on a clothes line as a decoration for the baby shower and it also makes a great gift for the mom to be.

Here is my cute sister in law, Bri. She looks amazing, I know!

My favorite part of the baby shower was the game. We had a relay race where each team had to dress a baby doll. I had made up silly blind folds from safety goggles. It made everyone look ridiculous, it was pretty funny.


Bri got lots of really adorable baby boy things, we can hardly wait to meet baby Hudson.


Linsey helped me in most of the party planning and felt honored to be invited as a guest to Aunt Bri's baby shower. I didn't expect her to be such a big help at the shower, but she really was my right hand, and she was thrilled about it too. I was so glad to have her there.


Emma and the other kids showed up at the end after most of the guests had left, just in time to eat the last of the party favors. Perfect!


Now, we wait.....

I hope baby Hudson's arrival is smooth, and that he is healthy and strong!

What a fun baby boy theme, the dressing the baby doll game blindfolded looked like a riot, although lately as a mother I'm feeling so frazzled maybe I'd have more luck getting things done and remembered with the funny blind-fold goggles, ha ha! Bri looks fantastic, she really only has 45 days left...wow she hardly looks pregnant!
