This is what Avastie said about the party- “This was a Baby Celebration for my sister Naomi. It was held in Orlando, Fl at my parents’ club house. I wanted to create a fun space for a co-ed shower to include the men and make them part of the shower. Not so frilly but still pretty. Although we knew my sister was having a boy, I wanted to use bright colors since the shower was outdoors and the weather was warm and sunny. It was a wonderful day. We played three games and also had a caricature artist there. I did not want to throw the typical baby shower. I wanted to make it a little different, where the men could actually have fun as well.”

Here’s what Mariah had to say about planning this party- “I love the color yellow, it’s so light, bright and cheery that just the thought of it puts a smile on my face. The inspiration for this party came from all the freshness and vibrancy of the summer season. We wanted to create a beautifully refreshing landscape that can be translated from a children’s birthday party to a baby shower, wedding, bridal shower or engagement party.

We worked with a bright color palette of yellows, bright green and mint green. The vibrant hues really helped to set the tone of the party and capture the crisp & zestful nature of a perfect summer day. To complete the outdoor feel, unique mason jars were used as drinking glasses with each jar numbered for an easy find. We included fun backyard children’s games to create a vintage feel.”

Lemonade Stand Birthday Party

This adorable LEMONADE STAND BIRTHDAY PARTY was submitted by Jessica Roberts of Quilted Polka Dot. Oh my goodness, I just want to jump into these pictures and join all the fun! What a darling party!!

Jessica said- “I wanted to make a lemonade stand for my little girl this summer and decided she needed a whole party created around it! I wanted this party to be girly – pink of course – but also include some of my favorite summery things like strawberry red, oceanside teal blue, and sunflower yellow.

It would be a perfect party at any age for birthdays, baby and wedding showers, or any get-together!

I love using old things and giving new things that old feel. I also like to throw in the unexpected – like using a kitchen scale with lemons instead of a traditional cake (that no one eats), an over-sized magnet board as part of my backdrop, my daughter’s play plates instead of throw away ones, and double stacked cake stands for height and visual interest.”

Lilac’s & Lemonade Baby Shower

This weekend’s winning party feature goes to this beautiful LILAC’S AND LEMONADE BABY SHOWER submitted by Me & My Boys. What a lovely combination- Lilac’s and Lemonade! So clever. I love the deep purples and yellows. Displaying pretty photographs of the mom in the same colors was such a good idea, too.
The guests enjoyed chicken salad croissants, fruit kabobs, spinach salad, lemon cake pops, brownie bites, lemon squares and fudge pops…makes me hungry, sounds so delicious!
Wonderful job, Sally! Thanks for your submission. Congratulations on being chosen as a winning party feature!
Vintage suitcases and the basinet that the mama-to-be slept in when she was a baby were set out to put gifts on.
