Victorian / Shabby Chic Baby Shower

I have the pleasure of hosting my sister in law's baby shower in October.  She loves the Victorian Area so I decided to go with a Victorian, Shabby Chic blend baby shower.  I have found so many great ideas out there to make this a delightful endeavor for her.  I hope you can get inspired as well!

I made some cute little signs for the party tables and the door.  This same design is on all the name tags and games.


This game is really cute.  Play songs that include the word "Baby" in the title, guest have to guess the song and the artist!


I added titles so everyone knew how they were associated with the baby!
I wanted little floral touches everywhere so I found these adorable cupcake toppers on etsy as well as the invitations!


For take home gifts, I am going to make home-made brown sugar scrub.  I love mason jars and plan on using them for both the favors and to serve drinks in!
The doilies add the perfect blend of rustic and elegant



For food think tea party - croissant sandwiches, petit fours, fruit, and chocolate!





My sis in law loves books, so I thought it would be fun to ask guest to bring a book to start the baby's library.

Here is inspiration for delightful shower!



Have guest leave a wish or a blessing for the baby!













Use a vintage suitcase to collect cards

Back To School Bash

"Good morning class! This is going to be a great year!"

It's already that time of year - BACK TO SCHOOL! As a teacher that gives me mixed emotions; my "ME" time is over, but I do look forward to meeting and teaching another great group of kids!  Also, my baby starts kindergarten this year!  She has a little reluctance so I thought a cute BACK TO SCHOOL BASH would be the perfect send-off!
