Last weekend I drove up to Franklin, TN to celebrate one of my old room mates/sorority sisters upcoming baby. She is not finding out the gender (ugh!) so we went with a gender neutral yellow/gray/white "You Are My Sunshine" theme. When it came to the invitation I knew for sure that I wanted Lauren Haddox Designs to do them. She did all the printables for Sally's First Birthday and was so pleasant to work with....not to mention her stuff is the cutest!
The shower was hosted by me and my BFF, Kristy. We used a local neighborhood clubhouse (free!). The decor could stand to be updated, but we worked with it.
We had some tissue puffs that we used in a few spots around the room. I used my wooden sign and galvanized vases. I stopped at Trader Joes in Nashville and picked up the sunflowers. The fabric on the tables came from Hobby Lobby.
We printed off some signs that Lauren made for us and put those on a hutch that was in the room.
We made lemonade of course (yellow!) and I wrapped the dispenser with some gray/white chevron ribbon (Hobby Lobby).
I used the water bottle wraps that Lauren designed and wrapped them around my starbucks bottles. Those bottles sure have some in handy! I also used some gray and yellow striped paper straws and made little flags for them.
For the food table, I wrapped some of the fabric around a foam board and I printed off the banner that Lauren designed.
We had chicken salad on croissants (Costco) and I printed off flags from Lauren and glued them on toothpicks to put in the sandwiches.
I wrapped my galvanized stand with ribbon (Hobby Lobby) and we filled the stand with individual fruit cups and little yellow cupcake liners of lemon bar muddy buddies.
We also had a few different kinds of dip with chips and veggies and lemon cupcakes.
For the favors, I used old baby food jars and spray painted the lids yellow. I cut striped of chevron paper (Hobby Lobby) and glued them around the jars. I also cut some circles (using a punch) for the tops of the jars. I used a scallop punch and used some tags that Lauren designed. I filled each jar with lemon drops.
The fancy white frame is from Hobby Lobby.
We had a great time and Abigail seemed to love everything!
Kristy, Abigail, Me and Natalie (and Conley)
