Inspiration: 3 Peas in a Pod Baby Shower

A friend of mine contacted me and asked for help for a last minute baby shower she is throwing for a mom-to-be who is expecting triplets.  (Woah!) 

I immediately thought of the popular theme "Three Peas in a Pod".  I told her I would get her some inspiration ASAP. 

Invitations 
I think printables would be perfect for this party, as there is a huge time crunch. 
 I found this cute printable one at Parents.com that would work well (and you can't beat a free download!): 

This is another cute option from PolkaDot Design:

Styling Ideas
There are so many great ideas out there for this theme! 
And this is one of my favorites: 
I looooove the Peas-as-vase-filler idea. So cute and easy. 
My friend Samantha used this idea at a Sweet Pea themed shower she threw, which I shared here.

I love this centerpiece from Everyday Celebrating.  Just using Felt and 3 plastic dollar store balls! I think its so great here, paired with the white flowers. 

Green & white table linens...in ginham or polka dot prints are perfect.

3 pea pod onsies, strung on a ribbon would make a cute decoration and a gift for the mom-to-be.  I found this one on Etsy, but you could also search local stores (like this one at Babies R Us), or find a iron-on template and make your own. 

 Party poms or lanterns are always great over a table, and I think they fit in nicely with this theme. And if you're really pressed for time, even balloons will work. 

Guest Book
I love having guests sign a children's book at a baby shower. 
 How perfect is this one? Available on Amazon

Party Favors
There lots of appropriate, and not too expensive, options for favors that work nicely with this theme.  
 My friend Samantha used one of these at her sweet pea shower, and I think its perfect. 
Sweet Pea scented shower gel, body lotion, or hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works.  


Edible items are always popular favors.  
You can have a baker make up pea pod cookies, or get a cute cookie cutter like this one and make them yourself!
