Baby Bliss

Recently I co-hosted a baby shower for an expecting family member. When the opportunity presented itself to help host the shower, I was more than willing to! I love planning parties and organizing everything to create a beautiful day. We asked the mommy-to-be for pics of her nursery to see if there was a theme we could use. Her nursery colors were a lime green and purple (she is having a girl) so we decided to set base everything around those shades. We knew we wanted to keep things quite classy and not super "Baby" or "It's a girl" since the nursery is not like that at all. This shower turned out to be very DIY which is the main reason I'm posting about it. I went online and of course went straight to blogs for inspiration! 

The first thing that caught my eye was a mommy-to-be sign hung on the back of her chair.

We cut card stock into three circles and wrote the words in a purple sharpie similar to her nursery color, then we matched a green ribbon and hot glued the circles to it. We tied it around the chair and finished it off with a nice bow.

The place card holders were my favorite item in the place settings. We had seen these online as a Mother's Day idea but thought that they would be perfect for the shower. They are alright if you only need a few but are not as fun TWENTY FLOWER POTS later. The finished product was adorable though so it was worth it:) 

All in all the shower was a success and the mommy-to-be was pleased with it which is all that matters!

If you have any questions or would like to know specific for anything please let me know in the comments:)
