Baby Shower Invites

Here are the invites I made for my best friends' baby shower. The shower is Angel themed. I searched and searched the internet for ideas but couldn't find anything I liked. So I came up with my own idea and I think they turned out fabulous. Perfect for the little angel.

Pictures of shower to come.

My Baby Shower

Now tell me that this isn't the absolutely most beautiful baby shower you have ever seen?!

It was just so hard for me to pick which pictures to post when there are so many good ones. So here are just a few of the decor from my absolutely amazing baby shower by my sister, Dacia.

Party favors...and yes, she made these.

The glasses dipped in sugar with the tags on the bottom.

The beverage container.

The delicious appetizers and cake, made by my niece, Shendileen, with help from my sister, Dacia. The prizes for the games. Which by the way, I have to say, were the best gifts EVER, Lia Sophia jewelry which my sister, Dacia, sells.

More appetizers, feathers, the banner, ball lantern decor, and more food. YUM!

So we only played a few games but they were so much fun. This one is obvious. You put a plate on your head and draw a baby. I had to pick which one I liked best.




One of the games we played was being an artist. The object was to sculpt out of diapers what ever animal you drew from the hat. Can you guess what each one is?

The first two were my winners (a giraffe and elephant). Well I got to choose which ones I liked best. Which was very hard (by the way) because they were all SO cute!

We played one more game but there aren't any pictures of that because you basically take the prize and read a story while passing the prize either to your left or right when ever those words are read from the story. It was pretty nerve racking when you really wanted the prize and didn't want to pass the gift on. Too much fun!

I just want to take this moment to thank my sister, Dacia, for putting up with all my changes and demanding nature. She was a little worried, okay maybe more than a little worried, about doing my baby shower because I'm such a perfectionist and want things a certain way. But let me just tell you that she went above and beyond to create the most beautiful baby shower I could have ever asked for. I am SO blessed to have such a loving, wonderful family.

I also want to thank all my sisters, my nieces, my mother, and friends who helped with all the details and helping to decorate, make food, watch kids, clean, and anything else I missed. You are all amazing and I love each of you!

Elisha's Baby Shower - Games

1st Game - Make a baby shirt out of a napkin.

Object: Hold the napkin behind your back and make the baby shirt by tearing the best you can without looking. Once you take the napkin from behind your back, you cannot do anything else with it. Mommy to be picks the one she likes the best.

Here are the results of the shirts. Darcy won this game.

2nd Game - Do I smell a smelly diaper?

Object: Guess what baby food is in the diaper, WITHOUT opening it (just by smelling). I guess the worst one was #6 which was broccoli and carrots.

Pictures of our guests smelling. Darcy & Buline.

Sora, Pat & Elisha.

Di and Mallory.

The winner, Alia.

3rd Game - Cotton Ball Connection

Object: Transfer the cotton balls from a bowl onto the ground using ONLY your nose. Each guest gets Vaseline (as much or as little as they want) and puts it on their nose.

This was the funniest game to watch of the games we played.

Elisha & Darcy (yeah, it does look kinda gross but it was funny!)

Our winner again, Alia. She really put her all into it.

4th Game - Dress the Baby

Object: Two people team up. Sitting side by side tie one of their left hand and one of their right hand together. The pair can only use their free hands to dress the baby. They must dress the baby completely with a onesie, socks, shoes, hand mittens and a hat. First team to finish wins.

It was a lot of fun to try new games. Thanks to everyone that showed up and participated!
