my good friend’s baby shower was this weekend, and I, along with three of my closest friends, planned a little post-delivery celebration of her newest arrival.
it was after dinner and a “So Sweet” desserts-only shower.
i made the pennant banner and table runner using chevron fabric and invisible thread. for the banner, I only sewed up to right before the twine and not over the twine so that the pennants could be rearranged for different settings/lengths—you will most likely see this again at one of my parties! we used white pumpkins, pine cones, and green/white gourds as other “fallish” decor.
lemon and carrot cupcakes with the best pipeable cream cheese frosting! i adapted the tags for our color scheme and content from HERE + pumpkin rolls and sugar cookies!
chocolate covered strawberries, cake pop truffles, and rock candy + chocolate espresso cheesecake brownies—so delicious!
white chocolate covered pretzel sticks with sprinkles to match the decor.
a hot chocolate bar complete with wafer sticks, peppermint crumbles, toffee chips, chocolate chips, marshmallows and whipped cream!
cake pops with chevron “thank you” tags as favors.
and of course, the two persons of honor—the new baby and his beautiful momma!
i checked this off of my 30 Before 30 list and if you want to see what else i’m planning to do in my year before turning 30, you can click HERE.
What a great job you all did! And nice that you had help, the baby shower I gave I did by myself! Another idea for you – I used different size boxes and put baby blankets over them on the table to vary the height of things and on the chandelier I hung baby toys and gave gave them all to her as a gift. I love your hot chocolate bar, what a great idea!!
Well, it looks like we’ll be turning the ‘big one’ next year together . . . only mine will be the big ’50′. You are definatley NOT old my friend!! haha
Looks GREAT Andi!!! I’m sure she loved it
I miss you guys 
I totally wish I lived close.
What kind of sewing machine do you have? I’ve been looking to buy one and just am not sure what kind to get. Thoughts?
i just have a basic singer that i got from target for under 100 bucks and it has worked great! i don’t think you need to go all fancy at the beginning because even the basic ones are pretty good these days.
What a cute shower! Love all of the details! =)
thanks, friend!
Looks beautiful and mouth-watering! I LOVE the hot chocolate bar idea… I see myself stealing it in the near future
