I was in charge of favors and decor and so I opted to incorporate a bit of vintage elegance to the whole event. I also wanted to use my vintage depression-era glassware, and am lucky that they are a lovely shade of moss green to go with the theme. I kept everything pretty simple as I don't like anything too cutesy and am sick of seeing pastel pinks and blues along with baby animals all over a grown up event. Sticking to a set color allowed for cohesion and made it easy to mix and match.
Here are the 10 simple supplies I used to decorate for this baby shower:
- Green glassware (serving trays, goblets and cake stands)
- 20 Green and silver balloons, filled with helium
- 3 Bunches of white tulips
- 4 Green candles
- A bunch of doilies
- 6 Green Place mats
- 3 Green baskets holding prizes prizes
- Herb Infused Sea Salt as take-away favors
- 2 Simple grocery store cakes decorated with toy baby bottles and cocktail umbrellas
- Finger foods and fruit all prepared by my older sister
Mugs, Hot Chocolate mix and Chocolate as Prizes for the 3 baby shower games we played.
