New Sponsor: The Age of Paper

I'd like to introduce you to Oh Baby! Shower Decor...the blog's new sponsor: The Age of Paper!

I was so excited when Kristen contacted me.

She sells beautiful hand-made invitations from her Etsy store and wanted to get the word out to all my party-girl readers!

 How gorgeous are the fabric and paper flowers she's using? 

And the antique embellishments?  I think I'm in love. 

I hope you'll click on over and visit Kristen's store.  

And keep her in mind for your next special occasion!

Shower Kit: Spring Bridal Shower

I was recently asked to adapt one of my shower decor kits for a bridal shower, rather than my usual baby shower kits.

My client had a few requests, but the primary one was that the decor items match these napkins that she and her fellow hostess had fallen in love with: 

Great colors for spring, don't you think?

Here is what I made for the party:

A custom party banner: Congratulations Jillian & Aviad

Party favors: chocolate bars with custom labels

Custom confetti: spring flowers

The last item the hostess requested were advice cards for guests to write marriage advice for the bride-to-be. 

And I found the cutest little photo album for the bride-to-be to keep all her advice cards in after the shower! Isn't it perfect?

Congratulations Jillian!
I can't wait to see how the party turns out!

Real Party: Rubber Ducky Baby Shower

I recently shared with you some decorations I made for a rubber ducky baby shower. 

The hostesses sent some pictures of the party to me.  I love way it all came together! 

Tulips, rubber duckies, bath items, the polka dot fabric square, and my ducks & bubbles confetti made a cute centerpiece. 

The baby shampoo, duckies, and sponge were given to the new mom.  

The welcome banner hung over the fireplace. 

Straw flags at the drink table. 

The hostesses gave chocolate chip cookies as party favors, and used one of my fabric squares to line the basket. 

Thanks so much to the hostesses for sharing their pictures with me! 

So glad to hear baby Gillis is doing well!

Shower Kit: Rubber Ducky

I was asked to make some shower decorations for a Rubber Ducky themed baby shower. 

This is an extra-special affair: Baby Gillis was born a little early, and has finally come home from the hospital! 

Here's the decor items I whipped up to celebrate this new mom: 

A Custom Banner ~ "Welcome Gillis"

Custom tags for party favors

(cellophane bags and ribbon for tying not pictured)

 Custom confetti ~ "Ducks & Bubbles"

Custom straw flags

Can't wait to see how it all comes together...

Congrats to the new Mommy!

Real Party: Farm Animal Baby Shower

I have the best customers!

Kelsey and Jessica, who ordered a custom baby shower kit for their friend Emily, have already shared the pictures from their party yesterday.

Kelsey said, "It was so fun to throw a such a coordinated shower with Jessica. We were not stressed at all, as everything was ready to go.  It was so fun to have guests continue to notice all the little details throughout the party.  And Emily loved it." 

Thank you Kelsey!

Kelsey and Jessica threw the farm animal-themed party yesterday at Kelsey's condo.

 

It was an afternoon tea.  Little sandwiches and veggie crudites were served.

And of course, cute little cupcakes. Aren't they perfect? They look a lot like the ones I had included in my inspiration board for this party kit.

Kelsey reports that they were from Trophy Cupcakes, and that they were just as tasty as they are cute.

Another close-up of the table.  The cupcakes match the confetti and fabric squares perfectly!

Horse and Cow stuffed animals displayed the invitation and a party favor. They also doubled as gifts for the new baby.  

I thinks its a nice touch to display the invitation at the party, and I'm glad these girls did that. 

I love the way they rolled the games! It makes such a cute display.

The girls gave brightly colored tea bags (for the afternoon tea party), little cookies, and Christmas ornaments for their favors. 

Each of the hostesses with the mom-to-be.

Thanks again for sharing the photos girls! Glad you had so much fun!

Remember, custom shower kits are available at our website, or our etsy shop.  We can customize shower decor for any theme or color scheme!

Invitations: Farm Animal Baby Shower

Over the weekend I shared my inspiration board for the farm animal baby shower I am working on.

I'm happy to report that the invitations are finished, and ready to ship.

(Click on the picture for a closer view)

 

And the matching envelopes, of course! 

Stay tuned for more details to come over the next few weeks!

Inspiration Board: Farm Animal Baby Shower

Oh Baby! Custom Shower Decor has a new customer, and I am busily working on putting together a shower kit.  I am also making the invitations for this hostess. 

First step, as always, was to gather inspiration.

My only instructions from the hostess were:

1. farm animal theme

2. pastel yellow & green as the color scheme (with a little blue and pink welcome)

Here's my inspiration so far:

1. Nothing says barnyard bash like hay bales, burlap and sunflowers

2. Poms are a shower must!

3. Baby shower appropriate serving ware. To die for, no?

4. Yellow ribbon, in every style imaginable.

5. Galvanized buckets for drinks definitely say "farm" to me!

6. Could these farm animal cupcakes be any cuter?

7. Another easy must-have: ball jar vases

Please stay tuned over the next few weeks. I will share all the details of the party decorations as they come together.

Hello There!

Dear Blogosphere,

I am thrilled to announce the launch of

Oh Baby! Custom Shower Décor.

Welcome to my blog!

I love throwing showers for friends. My goal is to offer customized, handmade, and classy decoration kits. I strive to make a higher standard of décor available to any hostess, regardless of how busy she may be.

Most baby shower decorations available through traditional avenues are CHEESY! Oh Baby! Custom Shower Décor kits are a cure for the cheesy. I want hostesses to have a different option than paper plates with cartoon animals on them! Classy moms-to-be deserve classy shower décor.

This blog will be a space to highlight ideas for throwing showers and other parties. I will include my own ideas, and ideas from others. I am so excited to have a place where I can compile all that inspires me.

Shower in Style!

xoxo,
Sandi
