She's doing a jungle theme in his nursery, so we carried it over into the shower theme. Everything turned out great! I'll let the photos do the talking...
 |
| The finger food spread... |
 |
| The invitation. |
 |
| Drinks - wine (went through both whites!), water, sweet tea, and green punch! |
 |
| Everyone who attended the shower picked a page and signed this book. |
 |
| Guests were asked to write some advice for the new mommy on a onesie and pin it to the clothesline above the fireplace. |
 |
| One of my faves... "Stay off the Internet!" |
 |
| One of Jen's friends who couldn't make it had this amazing jungle-themed diaper cake made. So I used it as decor. |
 |
| I'm not very good at these tissue paper balls. I only made one because this one was so tricky to make, I didn't even bother with more. |
 |
| I painted these wooden letters I found at Walmart with tiger stripes and glued them onto a foam board I painted. Then I added these cute pre-painted wooded animals. Jen already has the sign up in the nursery. I also made her a cute blue wreath for her hospital door that was on my front door for the shower - but I forgot to take a photo of it! Doh! |
 |
| Playing the belly measurement game. |
 |
| Prizes for the games - two tin pails with Peanut M&M's and animal crackers. We also played Baby Bingo while Jen opened up her presents. |
 |
| About to cut the cake! |
 |
| My sweet husband left the mommy-to-be a nice note... :-/ |
 |
| We set up favors on the entry-way table for guests to grab as they left. |
 |
| Double stuffed oreos, dipped in melted white chocolate and decorated with sprinkles. Yum! |
 |
| The hosts with the mommy-to-be. And yes, I'm wearing a dress to match the theme...don't laugh. :) |
