I don't know what it is but there is a huge baby boom going on around here. Just about everyone we know is either pregnant or has had a baby within the last year. It is so much fun to see our friends become parents and welcome these sweet little babies into their families.
Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of hosting a baby shower for one of our good friends, Alison. She is due with her first baby in September. Our Sunday School class helped organize the shower as well as our pastor's wife and worship pastor's wife. It was so fun to plan and decorate.
I just wanted to share some of the ideas we used. We wanted to start a library for the baby so we asked everyone invited to bring a book, along with their gift. All of our decorations were centered around books and we used the colors that Alison is using in the baby's room.
I wanted to make a banner with the baby's name, so I found some scrapbook paper at Hobby Lobby with writing (it actually had Bible verses written all over it, which I loved!) and then solid colored paper to match the colors of the shower.
I also made some tissue poms, love those things, using a great tutorial I found on Pinterest. So easy and cheap!
One of the hostesses had a couple different collections of children's books so we stacked those and scattered them around to keep with the theme. She also was so crafty and made the adorable frames. She used children's books torn into pieces and mod podged them onto a wooden frame, then made a bow for the top. She printed out popular quotes and added those to the center of the frame. This hostess also made a cardboard book into a utensil server, super cute!
Our crafty hostess finished it off by making these adorable favors to pass out. I love the quote on the bookmarks.
We had such a great time visiting and celebrating this precious baby and his parents. I am so thankful for their friendship and cannot wait to meet their newest member in a few short weeks!
And just because I love her so much....
