“Showered From Above” Rain Themed Baby Shower + FREE PRINTABLES

This lovely “SHOWERED FROM ABOVE” RAIN THEMED BABY SHOWER (with FREE printables) was submitted by Justine of Pretty Little Vintage in Melbourne Australia.

A few of the things I love most in this elegant rain themed boy baby shower are:

The dessert table set up on a baby crib, or cot, as it’s apparently called in Australia
The blue ombre cake with the tulle pom banner cake topper
The cake pops made to look like baby rattles
The hanging polka dot “raindrop” garlands
and MORE!

Here’s what Justine said about planning the shower- “I’ve always had to work with lots of pinks and girly themes so I was very excited to put this baby boy shower together for a dear friend of mine Jennifer! This ‘showered from above’ themed party featured a dreamy baby cot dessert buffet with pom pom clouds and raindrops dropping from above. As all babies are a blessing from above we wanted this shower to reflect how special this time really is for the mom to be.

It was an intimate party of 15 of Jen’s closest friends so the cot made the perfect size as a dessert buffet table to display an array of gorgeous sweets such as almond & coconut flavoured ‘rattle’ cake pops, baby themed butter cookies, mini cupcakes, almond meringue, almond candy, Lindt chocolate bars and a delicious 4 layer blue ombre cake.

The party also featured a “Keep Calm & Enjoy your baby shower” drink station with a gorgeous lemonade dispenser and personalised water bottles with ‘nutrition facts’ about the little man to be. Everyone went home with a lolly bag filled with sweets and candy from the cot dessert buffet as well as a special baby bootie-ribboned goodie bag as a thank you gift from Jen herself.”

April Showers Birthday Party – Baby Shower, Sprinkle Party

How precious is this APRIL SHOWERS BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Danielle Arcese of Cuttie Puttie? All the party elements are divine. I think the “Pocketful of Posies” cookies are my favorite!

Danielle said- “Spring is definitely in the air here in NY, and April’s rainy days are around the corner. But the hope of May’s beautiful blooming flowers is what inspired me to create this dainty spring collection! I designed this collection for a sweet April 3rd birthday party, but it could work for a baby shower or bridal shower too! A dainty floral and raindrops pattern makes up the main background design of this collection. Instead of a blank white center background, I opted for a faint rain cloud and shower pattern to add to the rainy feel. The text is done in a subtle grey color, instead of the standard black. After all, rainy days are grey. For the table, I opted for a pale aqua blue backdrop, framed at the top with white tissue paper pom clouds. I strung a few hand cut rain drops from clear fishing string from the center of each of the pom poms. The grey mini dresser I scored at my local Home Goods store, and the set of mini cupcake bell jars I purchased from Save on Crafts. Milk glass cake stands in pale pink and jade green I recently purchased from Mosser glass Company. There were raindrop shaped cake pops sprinkled with sanding sugar to add to the water feel and chocolate covered Marshmallow Tulips, topped with pink pearl nonpareils. I displayed these on mint green and white striped paper straws, and slipped some hand cut paper leaves on the straw to give my Tulips leaves. There were also mini white cotton candy clouds, pistachio macarons from the delicious Bouchon Bakery here in NYC and pink lemonade flavor filled chocolate truffles with dainty chocolate flowers on top. And there was a pink ribbon-iced buttercream mini cake, Jumbo rose buttercream cupcakes, and blue fruit punch rain water refreshments. Favors included beautiful floral patterned sugar cookies from the talented Ren of Dainty Delights (www.daintydelightsinc.etsy.com). I tucked the sugar cookie favors in adorable doily pockets, to make Pocketful of Posies for the little guests to take home. The guests also received a cute pot of lip gloss shaped as little flowers.” CREDITS: Paper products and Styling- Cutie Putti Paperie Cookies- Dainty Delights
