An Elephant & Alphabet Theme Baby Shower!

OH BABY! I have yet another opportunity to event plan for a special friend's baby shower. Although I'm not hosting it, I volunteered to be in charge of invites, decor, and favors; my favorite things to create!  I researched some cute themes and absolutely loved the Elephant & Alphabet theme by Fresh Chick Designs. I'm adding my own twist and design with the theme colors being grey, lime green, white, and aqua. After all, it's a BOY! His name will be Matias (isn't that such a cute name??). I can't wait to post pictures after the shower...

Invitation:
Photoshop and some of my own special skills for the email invite.


Favors:  

A friend of a friend of mine just started an awesome catering company that specializes in cake balls. They're the cutest little dessert thingy-ma-jiggers that I've seen since cupcakes!  A down-low on the cake balls:
Reg. Flavors are: devils food, mint devils food (like a thin mint), classic butter cake w/ choc fudge, vanilla, vanilla bean, red velvet w/cream cheese, carrot w/cream cheese, lemon/cream cheese, apple pie spice, German choc, strawberry, cherry.
Premium Flavors are: NY Cheesecake, Peanut Butter/banana, banana cream, peanut butter cookie, peanut butter/choc, fudge brownie banana split, fudge brownie/choc chip cookie, tiramisu, Grandmas Famous Cowboy Cookie (oatmeal/choc. chip), oreo and mint oreo.
All flavors are then coated in your choice of dark, milk or vanilla chocolate. The vanilla coating can be made in almost any color to match your event theme. :) And she delivers or ships!

Chic Baby Gifts!

In the past year, babies have been popping up left and right around me. I had 3 pregnant friends all due within one month of each other! Between all the baby showers, new births, and baptisms, I decided to come up with a signature gift from Auntie Oana for all my new baby friends to be: something original, chic, and personalized (that's how I roll...).

To make these adorable personalized gifts, it's really quite simple! 
Go to www.CafePress.com  and search Design Your Own--> Personalized Baby Wear. 
There are several personalized gifts you can make from baby blankets to t-shirts.

For this idea, credit goes to my friend Monica since this is her signature baby gift. She gets these done at Nordstroms, but you can definitely make them yourself for MUCH cheaper :)
