Sweet Beginnings Baby Shower
Summer before last I planned my very first “real” shower. I had co-hosted a few bridal showers in the past but was still in college and didn’t have a lot of time or money to invest into it. After my best friend Jessica told me she was expecting a baby girl, I knew I wanted to throw her the girliest, prettiest shower I could come up with.
I know, I know. This is a baby shower for Kaylen and I posted about her 1st birthday here. I’m totally posting in the wrong order but I didn’t have my blog then so I get to share it now!
So my love for party planning was born with the Sweet Beginnings Baby Shower.
Jessica is a very special friend sister and it was really important to me that I got everything just right. I wanted her to know how happy and excited I was for her and to feel extra special celebrating the arrival of her baby girl.
In order to get everything perfect, I spent so much time on Pinterest. It got a little scary.
Fun little fact…planning this shower helped me discover blogging and led me to some of my favorite blogs.
Can we be adults a little immature for just a second about this cake? I had touches of paisley throughout my decorations (the invitations, the wreath) and asked the bakery if they could do a paisley design. The baker assured me he could and this is what I got. Maybe it’s just me but I think it looks more like certain male body part rather than paisley.
A sweet beginnings baby shower is not complete without a sweets table.
I absolutely loved the way the centerpiece’s turned out. Plus, all the dresses were Jessica’s to keep.

LOVE!!! Where did you get the banner or how did you make it???
Paige Sloan
Thanks, Liz! I made the banner with my printer, Silhouette machine and just a regular paper cuter. My Silhouette has a function to design, send to a printer and then cut it out with the Silhouette so I printed the circles around the lettering and then cut them out with my Silhouette. Then I just pasted them onto different squares of paper from Hobby Lobby. Thanks for stopping by!
