Shower

What was I up to last week? Getting ready to throw one of these! This is a great theme for any mother having her second, third etc. baby. Most people recommend throwing a sprinkle instead of a shower, this is another take on that idea.

Theme: Itty Bitty Colors: blue toile, blues, browns, white. Decorations: Polka-dots and stripes. Above is part of the invitation that went out via email. Below we decorated with handmade polka-dot streamers, mini balloons, and blue toile.

This little sign was taped to the front door so the party goers would know they were at the right house. (As if the cars wouldn't have given it away....)

The prize for the winner of each game was a bag of itty bitty candy bars...very popular in a room full of girls.

As for refreshments: we filled the table with plenty of theme worthy treats like: Itty bitty oreos, melon balls, round chips, mini cookies, baby carrots, pigs in a blanket made out of little sausages—perfect for a boy shower—and we even had soda in itty bitty cans! (Gotta love Target.) Since the mom is collecting blue toile for the baby's room, I made a small guest/baby book out of it. We passed the book around the room during the party for each guest to write some advice on raising a boy.

And lastly, before each person left they received a parting gift—an itty bitty cake!

This may seem like a lot of work but we split up the preparation between three people and it was perfect! So thanks to Marcie and Jami, great teamwork! If you think you or others would like to use some of these printable details, let me know, I may decide to offer them in my Etsy store.
