Last weekend Mel and I, with a lot of help from Kelsey, threw a baby shower for our friend Amber. She is a teacher so we decided to go with a school theme for the shower. I did not have a ton of time to get pictures but here are few that I did get!
The favors were little homemade carmel apple dip (super yummy recipe courtesy of how does she), and an apple (that doubled as decor).
For snacks we had PB & J sandwiches,
Cucumber sandwiches,
Milk and cookies (somehow I missed a pic of the cookies, we had PB, oatmeal chocolate chip, and best evers)
Custom Water bottles, and we also had fruit and fruit dip, and I also missed a picture of that!
We used tissue paper pom poms to decorate the house, and also to mark the house from the outside!
We made apple prints and framed them to display at the shower. We also used index cards, and apples!
Some more index cards and apples!
Apples and an authentic first day of school binder!
The day's agenda!
Game details...
ABC's - We gave the teams a letter and they had to come up with as many baby names as possible in one minute. We played 3 rounds, round 2 was double points and round 3 was triple points. Lots of fun!
Math - we played a price is right style of game. The teams guessed the price of the items in a contestants row style of play, this game was also a lot of fun!
Some other fun ideas
- reserved parking for the mother to be right out front
- hand out blank cards to the guests as they leave to write "tips" to the mother to be and send them to her in the mail! Doesn't everyone love mail!
I got a lot of these ideas from a lot of different websites and I can't give credit to them because at the time I was not planning on blogging it so I did not write them down.
