On Saturday, I helped throw a baby shower for my friend Erica along with four of my other close friends. We had a great time setting up the night before and planning Erica's big day.
Easton's baby room has a few safari elements, so we went with a safari theme for the shower. Sam found the barrel of monkeys games and we turned them into Barrels of Blessings for Erica and Easton. All of the guests were asked to write Erica a note of encouragement while at the shower. Sam had to redo the table after Molly and I decorated...it just wasn't up to par.
The infamous paper palm tree...Sam and I found this tree on another blog and thought it would be a cute idea for the shower. Thank goodness for Jenn's brilliant idea to fluff out the droopy leaves by placing a paper plate underneath the leaves. This DIY project is not for the faint of heart!
I just loved how the flowers turned out! I found the multicolored crinkle at Joann's and layered it in the glass with animal crackers. I placed a drinking glass in the middle which held the water and flowers. Jenn added the finishing touch with the leopard bow. So cute!
Sam baked 25 banana bread favors on Friday morning! They turned out so cute and everyone really appreciated the homemade treat to take home and share with their families.
Tanya made the most delicious petit-fours with chocolate ganache, all while having her 6-week-old Tucker strapped to her chest...he was having a bad day! They turned out beautifully and tasted fantastic!
The food table
This shower was not a surprise...I'm wondering if Erica was surprised that we pulled it off without her help!
Another design element for Easton's room...Erica also received many necessities including diapers, wipes, and bottles!
