Blue, Bears, Boys, Baby Shower...





Baby Boy's Baby Shower done in Blue and Brown with lots of baby bears.

This was a baby shower I did with a few girlfriends for one of my best friends before the birth of her baby boy, Maxim. We had discussed several ideas -- games, food, location -- the usual for a baby shower -- but I wanted some kind of cute theme or color scheme to really pull it all together. Blue and brown was such a cute color combination for a baby boy and my mom suggested the idea of incorporating teddy bears and the party just seemed to pull itself together. It was a larger shower and a sit down lunch -- so we thought menus and place cards would be a nice touch -- to add some elegance and formality to the event. I made little teddy bear magnets that each person could take home using a mold I located at the craft store and hand painting each one. I made chocolate lollipops and placed them into several tins I'd spray painted blue and filled with grass. The tins were then placed throughout the long luncheon tables and centerpieces. Finally a larger centerpiece was made for the mother's table that I hand painted baby block letters and filled with little bears and flowers -- that could later be used in the baby's nursery. My mom pulled together a gorgeous gift basket where each item was wrapped in different blue and brown paper and ribbon and adorned with little rattles and teddy bears. The final touch was that every gift was also blue and brown -- outfits, pacifiers, shoes, etc. -- really adorable and the basket was also reusable -- also to include in the nursery.
