Little Gentleman Baby Shower

This darling LITTLE GENTLEMAN BABY SHOWER was submitted by Angelique Warr of Favor Boutique by Angelique.

I love this unique twist on a little man or little guy in a tie party by calling it a shower fit for a little gentleman! Too cute!

Some of my favorite ideas in this baby shower are:

The onesie shaped soap party favors
The diaper cake
The Rice Krispie treats shaped like neckties and onesies
and MORE!

This is what Angelique said about planning the shower- “With a great color scheme, who says Little Man showers can’t be gorgeous? Greens and blues with the adorable chevron accents make this party! I loved the idea of using neckties instead of the usual mustaches or bow ties. I wanted the shower to be vibrant, inviting and boyish. Perfect to celebrate the arrival of a little gentleman!”

Seersucker & Bow Tie Easter Party

This party is full of charming and darling ideas that could be used for more than just an Easter party. Many of the elements could be used for a baby shower or 1st birthday party, too!

Some of my favorite things about this Easter party are:

The seersucker fabric bow tie wrapped around the cake

The macarons served in push pop containers

The seersucker fabric pennant banner

and MORE!

This is what Deanna said about planning the party- “This Easter party was inspired by two of my favorite southern spring fashion items — bow ties and seersucker print.

Dessert Table: The inspiration for the table started with pale pink, yellow, and light blue seersucker fabrics. All of the printable paper goods incorporate those colors, along with a pop of coral. The printable paper goods also include a simple stripe, like the seersucker fabric. The dessert table was first topped with pink ruffled seersucker table runners that I made. A fabric flag banner, made from yellow and blue seersucker fabric, decorated the bead board backdrop. A white hobnob vase held blue hydrangeas. Small ceramic bunnies and chicks were placed on the table for a subtle Easter vibe.

Easter, and the onset of Spring, is the perfect time for light, fresh desserts. Angel Food Cake was topped with whipped frosting and toasted coconut. A hand made bow tie was wrapped around the cake. Bow ties also decorated cake stands and candy jars. Strawberry Filled Vanilla Cupcakes with Vanilla buttercream were topped with Easter cupcake toppers from the printable paper goods Collection. The table also included Strawberry Mousse, Assorted Macarons, and Vanilla Meringues.

Drink Station: A small drink station was set up on a vintage vanity table. Sparkling Strawberry Lemonade was served in mason jar glasses adorned with bow ties. Push up pops were filled with macarons for simple take-home favors.”
