Look WHOOO threw a party!

I threw my friend a baby shower this weekend.

As always I had so much fun planning all the little details to this party.

When I designed the invite all the colors and theme came together in my head,

and luckily I was able to create exactly what I had planned. (note* this does not always happen)

I am really over pink baby showers so I went with jewel tones, purple and teal.

I loved including touches of natural string, flowers and burlap to make it a more casual affair.

Let me show you how it came together. 

To make this sign I took some burlap cut out in a triangle shape, 

I took  a stencil and poured glue over it and sprinkled glitter over the top.

I hot glued it onto some twine and tied bows at the end.

It created this beautiful sparkly focal piece over the food table, I loved it. 

The place settings had coordinating colors. 

The little favor box included an owl magnet and truffle for each guest. 

I used books underneath burlap to create different levels for the centerpiece. 

I then tied together some flowers (purple bunch from costco)

with some wheat grass (left over from halloween) with ribbon and votives. 

Overall I think it made the guests feel welcome and important. 

I used the invite on an easel and some remaining flowers to make a centerpiece for the present table. 

For the Food

I made these darling red velvet cake pops with chocolate coating.

They were scrumptious and oh so cute. 

(oh and might I add super time consuming)

Tutorial found in Bakerella's cake pop cookbook.

If that wasn't enough sugar I also made some owl cupcakes.

Also scrumptious and yes I ate both. 

I made this amazing blackberry limeade with fresh blackberries and lime juice. 

I will have to post the recipe this week.  It is a great punch for parties. 

For the rest of the food I had several people bring salad's and appetizers

I just didn't think I would be able to pull off all the food as well.  

It turned out great and it was a fun night with friends. 

Here's a few more group shots from the night.

Here's the Mom to be (with her 3rd).

Hope you had a fabulous night Julie!
