Anna's Baby Shower

When planning this baby shower, we knew that we did not want to go with the ordinary pastel baby colors. For one, that theme as been done plenty. Second, Anna is not your regular prego girl! She's stylish and cute even with a big belly. And because they aren't finding out what they are having until it comes, we went with zebra stripes and bright pink and blue.

The invites above were made on the computer, with zebra scrapbook paper and bright pink & blue ribbons.
As a unique guestbook, everyone signed the back of this large wooden picture frame. On the front it's Shabby Chic with a cute baby saying. Anna had a great idea for all the guests to write their name and address on an envelope. This saves her a lot of time when writing Thank Yous!

This is what the table looked like. We used gift bags, tissue paper, balloons, and baby bottles for table decorations. The baby bottles were filled with candy in the coordinating colors and tied with zebra ribbon.


These were the delicious petit fours handmade by Mom. She does such a good job and they were yummy!


And another finishing touch was the corsage. These were handmade by another talented lady at church. And Anna will find a use for these items later on too!
Maybe this will give you an idea for your next baby shower!
