a peachtree city life: A Baby Shower

My sister and brother in law are having another baby in the next few weeks (yay!) and we are so excited to have a nephew. It's been all girls all the time around here so far, so a little baby blue is exciting!

My mother-in-law and I had the pleasure of hosting a shower for the mama-to-be at their house down in Columbus, GA. We kept it simple, but I couldn't resist ~~totally copying~~ taking inspiration from lots of Pinterest goodness for the decorations, because why not. Since Isaac's new room has a sailboat type theme, I went nautical. And then shamelessly wore clothes that matched the decorations.

I made a little chalkboard print on the computer and thanks to the awesome inspiration from Shannon of Shannanigans and mastermind behind Bottle Pop Party Company. I printed it via a Staples engineer print (my first foray I was nervous!) and it turned out great! Especially since it was under $2! [Shannon can actually design one of these for you, fyi!]

I made a little cake banner thing that is all the rage on Pinterest, because, again why not. It turned out pretty cute, I thought.

I decorated the skewer by painters taping it and painting the spiral.

Also, Publix made my cake a very strange blue color, so it didn't really match, but oh well.

Pennant banner, of course.

I made up a little "wishes for baby" sheet using the pro's program of choice: PowerPoint. (again, majorly ~~copying~~ using Pinterest as inspiration). The silverware got inconveniently tied with twine.

And then we partied.
