It’s a . . . .BABY SHOWER

As my wonderful sister in-law, Nicole, and I discussed the other day we have reached that season of life where babies are popping up everywhere! So EXCITING! For me that means I get to do cute baby shopping, go to showers, and the most fun of all throw showers! Last Sunday Nicole and I threw a shower for our sister in-law Megan, who is expecting a little girl in April. Can’t wait to see little Mela!

One of the things I enjoy the most in life is planning and putting on a party, and putting together this shower was so much fun. Here are a few of the little details Nicole and I came up with:

Cute plates and confetti in the pink and green theme.

Party favor for all guests. We got the little bottles at the Party Corner, I printed the labels at home, and then we filled them with Jelly Beans.

“Name that Baby Food” game.

Loved this game that Nicole came up with . . .we filled a basket with “baby items’ and then everyone try to guess what all was in there. It was like a game and a gift in one!

Another thing I had fun putting together for this shower was the official Baby Shower Play list! Ohhh the hours I spent scouring the internet and I-tunes coming up with Baby Themed songs. Since I get some weird joy out of doing research and it is always fun to play with ITunes  I had a FABULOUS time finding all the songs. Just in case you are ever in need of a Baby Shower Playlist of your own here is what I came up with:

Megan’s Baby Shower Play List

  • I Got You Babe- Sonny & Cher
  • We Are Family- Sister Sledge
  • My Girl- The Temptations
  • All Because 2 People- Brad Paisley

  • Shinning Star- The Manhattans
  • With Arms Wide Open- Creed
  • Hey Baby- No Doubt
  • Baby, Baby- Amy Grant
  • Welcome to the Future- Brad Paisley
