Two Peas in a Pod Baby Shower

This was my shower for my twins. It was scheduled to be January 5, which ended up being the day they were born. 31 weekers. So we had to reschedule. They were still in the NICU.

Two peas in a pod cake

All the party supplies were green! Of coarse, right after the shower, they came out with "two peas in a pod supplies" They are super cute!

We had games! The guess the weight, height game. We couldn't do the date since everyone knew when they were born! Also, we had advise cards. The green pea pods were a game that had a peas in it. The one with the most peas won. And we had a scratch off lottery ticket with 2 winners. We had "My water broke" game. We put little plastic babies in ice cubes and gave them to the guests. The first one whose water broke and the baby came out, won! The prized were these cute "two peas in a pod" salt and pepper shakers.

"Wild West" Cowgirl Party - Yeehaw!

This was an awesome Western Cowgirl party! The venue was a wonderful small local zoo called The Little Ponderosa.

The cake. What cowgirl wouldn't love this??

Behind the cake, you can see the treatbags. Each child's bag had their names on them with hay string and a cowgirl cardstock. Inside was plastic snakes, sherrif badges, cowboys and indians, wanted signs for the kids pictures from the party, themed candy, and much more. Little kids who wouldn't appreciate the bags got stick horseys instead. I found them at the local dollar store!

All of the children got nametags when they got there of a "Wild West" person. The birthday girl was "Annie Oakley" This was very fun as everyone tried to get into the persona.

The cow"girl" hat cookies. They were a hit. I used treat bags and just wrapped them up in them. I think it made quite an impact.


Again, I didn't take good pictures of all my tables. I am usually too busy, but behind the girls, you can see the table clothes used as well as the centerpieces, barbed wire, lanterns, old milk jugs, galvanized buckets, and boots. (I also used these for another party)

The menu:

hotdogs, homemade chili (by my mom), chips, corn on the cob, pasta salad (with wagon wheel pasta), baked beans, and all the condiments. We used the old speckled pots and bandanda serving plates, like you see with the cookies. Bandana plates and napkins. It was super wild west!

The invitations: (I will have to find a picture of them) They were shaped like a boot (handmade) and it had a brad that made the boot swivvle open with the invite wording inside. It was sooooo cute. Will post a pic as soon as I find it.

The brown packages with the blue paisley and tied with hay string.

Can you tell they were from me?

They kids all got endless pony rides as well as access to the whole zoo featuring llamas, goats, chickens, snakes, a playground, and much more.

Everyone had a great time getting dressed up their cowboy and cowgirl best.

MONKEY party!!

This was the twins 2nd birthday (they just turned 3), but I loved the monkey theme, so I had to put it on here, even though I don't have very many pictures of the party.

Blowing out the candles on their egg-free individual monkey cakes

Found shirts that say I am 2 with a monkey hanging on to the 2! I'm sure they were for boys, but the blue and yellow went with the colors anyway!

The supplies came from birthdayexpress.com They finally have parties for being 2!

little cakes

I found monkey plates for the twins.

Menu:

Bananas!
And little chicken quesadillas, chicken finger platter, fruit tray, cheetos, veggie tray, and chips and dip. Perfect kid food!

I used yellow treatbags and made stickers to put on the bags that went with the theme.

Western Theme Party

Western Theme SURPRISE 60th Birthday for a dear friend of our family. Her daughters asked for our help and I think we delivered! Thanks to the birthday lady herself for unknowingly letting us borrow supplies!

The drink bar

We used mason jar glasses, tin pails, and pitchers.


Menu:
Chili beans, mexican cornbread, BBQ pork and buns, corn on the cob,
pasta salad, potato salad, crackers

Yes, that is a covered wagon!
Blue speckled dishes like on the Oregon Trail! Bandanas everywhere!

The venue was the Pavilion at Cove Lake Park in Jacksboro, TN.

This was perfect for the theme with the rustic wood look.

For some reason, I don't have a picture of the tables for eating, but when I find one, I will post it. They had lanterns, the flower centerpieces, and pretend barbed wire all around.

All the tables had the red and white checked table clothes. You can maybe see it in the background of some pictures.

One of the cakes, a guitar wtih strings!


And the fabulous cowboy hat. Yes, this is a cake!

Cakes from IncrEdible Cakery (my mom)

See...told you it was a cake!

We had all the guests dress western and we gave out sherrif badges and bandanas for the bandits. You can see the tables behind with the old-fashioned oil lanterns.

We even had karaoke provided by her best friend. It was a huge hit.

I also did a slideshow, with a projector, of pictures from her life and set it to music. It was pretty fabulous it I do say so myself! Very special memories made.

Modern Tea Party Shower

Fabulous

The table setting - Zebra and pink plates with utensils tied in a fan napkin. Black placemats and doilies for the awesome plastic tea cups I found. Centerpieces were teapots and teacups with polkadots and flowers! So, so girly and sweet!

This was a baby shower I did for my best friend who was finally having a little girl after having 2 boys! I wanted it to be girly girl but still modern. This is my Modern Tea Party! Zebra print, hot pink, and polkadots were the colors for the Tea Party. The invitations pink polkadot trimmed with a zebra tea pot.

This was one of the favors. They were teabags that were zebra or polkadots and they had a string with the "tea" tag attached that said, "Thanks a latte!" They were fabulous!!

This was my homemade sign that says, "Join Scotlyn for tea-time" with the mama to be.

The tea bags in tea pots. I also made a zebra scrapbook for photos from the shower.

The drink table. I wanted it to be seperate like a tea-serving cart.

I loved the set-up of our food table.

Centerpiece was a black teapot with hotpink and white flowers

Cookies by, you guessed it, my mom! They were sooo cute! We had teapots, teacups, and square zebra cookies with monogram S, for Scotlyn.

Strawberries dipped in Pink Chocolate and sweet white chocolate baby bottle suckers.

Yum Yum

Isn't this cute?? We took Zebra cakes, instead of doing petit fours. and monogrammed them S. Topped it off with the sweetest polkadot tea set I found.

The watermelon carriage. A classic.
And TADA...the baby bottom cake and teapot cake. These were spectacular. So perfect for the theme. Every little detail was precise.
Little teacpus with candles... I HAD to add these pictures of the home-made bear my mom made for her. This was her baby blanket (an old pillowcase) that was really not in good shape. There wasn't much left of it. My mom took the fabric and made a bear. This was the sweetest moment ever! How NEAT that the fabric already had zebra print in it. It was only 29 years old!!
I love it when they cry tears of joy!
