Keira and Dustin will soon be welcoming a baby girl into their family and so they invited their friends and family to help celebrate. This woodland creature themed shower was absolutely adorable… and a Pinterest dream! Little Baby Hamzehloui was certainly welcomed with lots of love 🙂

To allow mommy-to-be to mingle with everyone, guests were encouraged to bring gifts “creatively unwrapped”. Some of the unwrapping was quite creative! …check out the accessories on the doll above 🙂 Guests could also peruse all of the gifts at their leisure to see what was brought for the new baby… like the pink hand crocheted cocoon cap and booties above from Great Aunt Betty, or the rocking horse and pink owl (which matched the shower so sweetly!) …or the stuffed horsie and framed embroidery I made for the little sweetie:)

Decor:

• woodland themed wall clings
• miniature owls
• paper lanterns
• birdhouses hanging and on tables
• mason jars with bouquets
• and my personal favorite, the DIY tissue pom poms strung with crystals.

Menu:

• individual veggie and dip cups
• strawberry shortcake shooters (delicious!)
• fruit kebabs
• homemade cookies
• meatballs and more, all displayed beautifully…
• and of course, the adorable red velvet owl cake.

Activities:

• “guess the birthday” calendar
• write messages on paper balloons for wall art
• baby themed word search
• celebrity baby name trivia
• baby name meaning match up
• diaper notes (write a funny or inspirational saying on diaper bottom for mom and dad to see during changing)
• guess how many M&Ms in the baby bottle
• fabric squares to for guests to draw on to later be sewn into a soft alphabet book
