Nautical Baby Shower

I recently threw my best friend, Aly, a baby shower for her baby boy, Lincoln! It was so much fun to make all of the decorations and to see it all come together!

For favors, I made Sea Salt Scrubs (Sea Salt/Coarse Salt, Coconut Oil, and Essential Oils). I used grapefruit, orange, lavender, and eucalyptus essential oils.

 The centerpieces are my pride and joy! I made diaper cakes with cute little whales on top. (Bases are 9 in. cake boards covered with cardstock, ribbons are hot glued on, anchors and whales were cut using my silhouette, and the final touch was the crinkle blue paper).

One of the activities we had was a Late Night Diaper Station where we had sharpies and diapers for the guests to write on. The Poop Deck sign was a funny touch.

For the guest book, I bought a wooden anchor, painted it white, and painted Lincoln's name on it. I bought thin sharpies so that guests could write a sweet message for baby Lincoln and sign their name.

The large backdrop is actually a shower curtain!

Floral Baby Sprinkle

My beautiful sister-in-law is expecting a sweet baby girl! Since this is her second child, I wanted to throw her a baby sprinkle! It's a chance to celebrate Scartlett's eventual arrival and so that she could get some girly stuff, since her firstborn was a boy. 

I wanted the theme to be similar to her nursery theme, so that she could use the decorations in her nursery. The nursery had floral, wood, pink, and gold accents.

The invitation (Note: Personal information changed for privacy)

My friend Aly made the centerpieces. They are mason jars, painted, with silk peonies. We used the centerpieces and notebooks as the prizes for the games.

Paper lanterns are an extremely cute and affordable decoration! I used command hooks to secure them to the ceiling. And I strung them together at different heights.

The guestbook table! I bought the wood letters, wood frame , and canvas floral art from Hobby Lobby. The lantern was ordered from amazon. 

The fingerprint guestbook was so cute!
