I hosted a pink baby shower for my sister this weekend and it turned out great.
There were a few minor hiccups like half the guest list not showing up and a tailgate falling on our original cake but she enjoyed herself and received a lot of the items she needed.
I was a total freak about this shower because this is my first time becoming an aunt and just because I'm a bit of a profectionist. The theme or color scheme was pink and brown. The shower was planned around the invitations I found at hallmark. I knew I wanted to incorporate gift boxes and bears.
I bought gift boxes from Hallmark as well and stuffed them with tissue paper and creative baby shower gifts like bibs, socks, pacifiers, lotions and etc. I found the brown bears from the Gap. I stacked one brown and one pink napkin on top of each other and placed it in front of each guest's seat with the baby shower favor which was a brown favor box filled with pink M&M on top of them.
I also had individually wrapped cookies at each seat as a favor as well. Here it is:
I wish I would have gotten better pictures but it was great.
