I started first with the art, since she is having a boy I tried to stick with more boy like images. I sketched out my art, dropped it into Adobe Illustrator and then printed out the art as needed for each of the decorations.
I got most of my supplies from the Paper Source and Michaels. I found square boxes and printed out my art and spray mounted it onto the boxes
I also made tags for the favors which were little boxes of homemade cookies.
I made small and large blocks and put them all over the house. And I used the table tents from the Paper Source to spray mount sweet poems about baby boys as added decorations.
For prizes for the games I used the purse boxes from the Paper source and once again mounted on my art before tucking in gift cards to Starbucks.
I also made a banner with ribbon and paper as well as made tissue paper balls thanks to the help of my good friend Holly.
All in all for my first time hosting a baby shower and my very limited time, the decorations came out great! I've been told that my sister in law took home most of the decorations and now has them in the baby's room....That to me is a success!

Just a fantastic baby shower it was. I am totally impressed with these fun photos. It is always a fun experience planning such events for the loved ones. My sister-in-law is also going to be a mommy to twins so I am also going to host a beautiful shower for her at the local convention center.
