I threw a friend of mine a baby shower back in August. We didn't actually call it a shower because it was a couples thing and we didn't want the word shower to scare away any of the men species, so we called it a Baby BBQ - ha!
Anyway, they were having a boy but it was their second baby and since she's not really into anything super frou-frou, we decided to keep it way simple. I stole some frugal decoration ideas from Jeannett and made these soup can vases....
okay, I have to admit they were dog food cans - but whatever...some scrapbook paper and ribbons and little flower thingys and I end up looking crafty - wooo!
My friend prefers to use the Seventh Generation diapers, which are kind of a beige color, so I made a diaper cake intended to serve as a table decoration of some sort. It turned out pretty cute I think - the colors meshed really well...
And I actually piped frosting onto the cupcakes, which is a miracle. By the time I was done, I thought they all looked like I had squeezed toothpaste all over them, but oh well - they were delicious, so that's all that matters right?
All in all it was a great party - and little baby Collin was born on 10-10-10!! (best birthdate ever) He's adorable and I get to squeeze on him whenever I need a baby fix :)
