This weekend I had the honor of throwing a baby shower for one of my best friends. I am including some pictures and would be happy to answer any questions about where items were purchased or how things were made. The overall look and feel was exactly what I was hoping for!
We handmade the invitations using kraft paper from Hobby Lobby, ribbon and jute.
I am in love with the centerpieces! The rustic wood complimented the burlap and lace accented mason jars and colored vases beautifully. The fresh babies breath and spring flowers added the perfect pop of color. The little white birds and colored vases were part of Michaels spring collection and just so happened to be a great deal! 
The overall table setting came together nicely. The napkins were found in the Hobby Lobby wedding section and we used clear plastic plates and cutlery.
The glasses were made from Starbucks Frappuccino jars that we covered with a burlap and lace ribbon, jute, and topped off with a birch paper straw.
Each plate had a handmade "Thank You" box filled with regular Hershey's kisses and some special "It's a Girl!" Hershey's kisses.
The invitations invited each guest to bring diapers or a brand new baby book for the chance to be entered into a raffle. This was the raffle table complete with the diaper cake I made, a first for me!
Guests were encouraged to "Enlighten Brightyn" by writing special words of wisdom on precut onesies before pinning them to the clothesline. My favorite was the advice from Brightyn's daddy!
The Yogurt Parfait Bar and the Bagel Bar were huge hits, as was the Infused Water Station. The lemon poppy seed cake that my very talented friend Sara made for the shower was not only gorgeous but also delicious!
My amazing friend Cari handmade all of these beautiful puff balls to hang from the ceiling.
I made the letter blocks with wood squares, scrapbook paper, Mod Podge, and a cricut. The blocks spell out six different words/phrases. The babies first name, last name, princess, precious, baby doll and I am loved.
I also made the date blocks for baby Brightyn to use in pictures once she is born. The 2x4 block says weeks, months, years, and grade.
White onesies that had been decorated to match the shower by my friend Sharon, dresses and bloomers were hung with wooden clothespins throughout the room.
Because Brightyn's Shower was so large, we decided to only play one optional game. The frozen babies in ice cubes kept the ladies laughing as they tried to be the first to birth their baby so they could yell, "My Water Broke!" and win a prize. This game was a lot of fun and took up no extra time.
I could not have done this event without the help of so many amazing ladies. We all had so much fun and sweet baby Brightyn was blessed beyond belief by the incredible generosity of those that attended her shower!
THANK YOU!
