Heaven Sent Baby Shower decor

Brooke's "Heaven Sent" baby shower was a complete success! My mom, best friend and I had so much fun working on this shower. We even put my grandma, aunts, and the guest of honor to work to create everything. Here are some photos of the decor:


The focal point of the room


Tissues pom-poms SO easy. I'd recommend making them the day of and with the ribbon in the wire. 


Proof we made the guest of honor work. This was taken two days before the shower. Brooke wanted to make these.  Super easy and can be used in the baby's room after the shower.


 The "Pomander ball" in action, it's in the smaller box. My mom made another one too. Speaking of my mom:


Here she is working on these Dinner Napkin Snowballs but we used small napkins. They were also easy. We made a bunch and put them everywhere.

 

I loved how the mantle turned out. We used wooden squares Brooke already had there but put in some shoes she's bought for her baby along with a few board books and baby accessories. (See above photos)



 We used Brooke's Cricut to cut out the circles, clouds and letters for the banner. We just winged the doily flowers and I loved how they turned out. (I know I keep saying that!)



 I got the wings from Oriental Trading Company, but was unimpressed since they were just cardboard cut-outs. My great mom glued feathers and added glitter to give them a little sparkle. We put them on Brooke's chair to make her look angelic.
Isn't she a cute pregnant lady? She is ALL baby!


My best friend took on the challenge to make a large monogram for the shower. I showed her several pictures of monograms with flowers. At the last minute I saw one made out of cupcake liners. It was perfect and Becky made it happen. 


Amazing, isn't it? Brooke can use it in the nursery too!


On the gift table we put some framed pictures of Brooke and her husband as babies. It was alluding to the game we would play later.


I could NOT decide where to put the cloud garland. At the last minute my mom helped me put it up in the doorway to the kitchen. 

Last week I said I'd post everything about the shower but I can't fit it all so next week I'll share the food and the games we played. Stay tuned!

Heaven Sent Invitations

I thought I'd give you guys a peek into my creative process today.

I made three inspiration boards for Brooke to choose from back in February. She chose our "Heaven Sent/Angelic Theme" which I loved too =)

From there I started thinking about how I wanted to do the invites. I found this image on Pinterest:

Isn't it adorable? I can't find a photo credit for it ANYWHERE so I can't give any credit for it, but I wish I could.

I wanted to use baby feet as a "v" in my invite. So I decided to make the invites saying "Heaven Sent" with the "v" being baby feet. I went to Joann and TOTALLY lucked out. They had these stamps there, calling my name:
Photobucket



The cardstock was gorgeous, you can't tell in this picture, but check it out here I also used some of this because the store ran out of the gemstone.

The hardest part was the computer part--I printed the actual invitation on the opposite side of the cardstock. Making the size right proved difficult for my computer to comprehend. Eventually I tricked it by using skinnier paper but not telling it.

How would you use baby feet?

The shower is this weekend! Next week I'll share the decor, food and games. It'll be a monster post!
