My latest party planning has been a bit of a challenge because I'm planning a Baby Shower!
I'm not a Mum nor am I a cutsie wootsie kind of girl either BUT I'm definitely a party planner and have surprised myself on how much fun it's been organising this Baby Shower.
I'm throwing the Baby Shower for one of my best friends Mrs V and I'm so excited for her next journey in life being a Mum. I'm helping to decorate and design the nursery, have searched the op shops for must read pregnancy books (like Up The Duff a $3 find and Tori Spelling's Motherhood for .50c - Bargain Queen strikes again!) and I can't stop buying itty bitty outfits for the little one.
So what theme did I pick for this Baby Shower?
Well, to start with I thought about the Mum to be and what she loves ..... She's a bit like me and not into the cutsie wootsie baby stuff either and gender neutral as they're not sure if it's a boy or a girl. She is extremely well travelled and has grown up and lived in different countries which is why the theme of vintage travel really seemed to suit this Baby Shower.
Once I have a theme I can get creative and just run with it, design the invites, hit the shops for the party essentials and decorations to set the party scene. It's just like with home - I love the decorating part the best!
Here's my Pinterest inspiration for a vintage themed Baby Shower .....
Everyone say awwwwwww isn't it cute! But not too cutsie wootsie right? I think it's cute in a cool kind of way!!

What a great theme! And so sweet of you to organise for your best friend. She's very lucky to have you as a friend. As for tips...I'd say make sure you line up some games...a great icebreaker esp if not everyone knows everyone else...and provides plenty opportunities for giggles and laughs.
ReplyDeleteOh yes there has to be games no matter how silly they may be! Thanks Trishie :)
DeleteI adore this theme! Can't wait to see pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love this theme! What a great idea =)
ReplyDeleteI love the vintage look, your pics are great. Now for the food?
ReplyDeleteWell lucky for me the family is organising the food and Im in charge of the decorating and games etc .... well unless the bubbly is considered in the food group I'm bringing a few bottles of that too .... obviously not for the Mum to be but to get the party games going :)
DeleteI love the letters that have the map modpodged on them! What a great theme, it seems to really fit her!
ReplyDeleteYes I love those as well, Ive printed them out in colour and framed them for the tables :)
DeleteGreat ideas...I love the map letters too! The mini bunting is fab and would be so easy to do.
ReplyDeleteI am obsessed by bunting .... Iv got about 3 different types already .... more than a little obsessed :)
