Lauren used some of my own designs to decorate the party and gave me the opportunity to learn how to improve my product. We went with an owl baby shower theme because I am decorating my nursery with owls.
These fun owl designs all started by using a photo shop brush from brusheasy.com. Although we manipulated the design a bit and turned them into vector images I still wanted to recognize where we got our inspiration. Also, these items are not for sale.
We embellished the cupcakes with owl designed toppers, decorated the walls with owl themed banners, and assembled together a beautiful center piece with flowers and owl designs. I learned a lot about how the things I make can be utilized and also came up with more ideas along the way.
Below are some simple tips I learned about throwing a baby shower:
Banners can be hard to place. You want everyone to see them and for them to look snazzy in possible photos. So.. before you hang your banners try and think of a spot for your guest of honor to sit and decorate accordingly.
Utilize any natural lighting you may have. This will help your photos to come out beautifully. Often a flash can drown out the decor you worked so hard to assemble and put up.
Take the time to get a group snap shot. Place a camera on a table or chair and set the timer. These photos will be fun to look back at. They often turn out silly because you always catch someone being funny.
One more thing.. Do something crafty with the group. Often people don't like "baby shower games" because they can be boring or embarrassing. If you give your group the option of decorating some burp cloths or onsies not only do they enjoy the process, the mother-to-be will always remember the experience every time she uses these hand made items.
