Woodland Baby Shower: Final

I had so much fun planning this shower! Here's a final look at at this special day!

The Menu

​Breadstick Snails

These turned out to be my favorite thing on the menu for this shower; super quick, easy, and delicious. *The recipe calls for refrigerated bread sticks - which I looked everywhere for...ended up buying refrigerated pizza dough (in the tube) and cutting it to the size I wanted. 
​

S'more Cupcakes

I have no insight into how to make these - all I know is that they were delicious! A friend of ours is a fantastic baker and made these beautiful cupcakes for everyone to enjoy.
​

Toadstools

So simple, but ended up taking awhile to create. This would be a great job for a kiddo who loves to help! I used cubes of white, sharp cheddar cheese, which ended up giving a nice flavor!



​
​

Caterpillars

Good idea in theory...didn't end up working out like I'd hoped. If you're going to make these make sure they are eaten right away. As the shower went on I noticed they turned brown quickly...so that was a bummer.


​
​

Veggie Cups

I was so excited about this! Clear cup, plop of hummus in the bottom, and veggies, cut long, standing in the cup. I love how pretty these turned out! They almost look like mini floral arrangements - tasty, mini floral arrangements.

The Onesies

To help make painting easier for the guests I provided some templates for them to use! I've linked a couple of the favorites, but other ideas can be found on my Pinterest page! When the ladies were done painting they hung the onesies up on a clothesline. This allowed the onesies to dry and become some sweet decorations!

The Extras

Picture
Here are the squirrels I used as food labels; I was shocked that these were free! I discovered a trick while I was making these: each sheet really only makes 1 sturdy squirrel. *Make sure that you glue both the legs and the arms together before assembling; this will keep the squirrel from becoming wobbly and will remove the plain white paper on the inside of the arms and legs.
Picture
I had to google the answers to this game! Some of them seem made up! Try it; how many can you get correct!?
Picture
We also played "The Price is Right, Baby Edition"! This was such a fun baby shower game plus our mommy-to-be got to keep all the items!

​*Unfortunately I did not get a picture of ours...but here is a super cute one from Pinterest if you're interested!
Picture

Thanks for stopping by!

Throughout the shower, we asked guests to addressed an envelope to themselves. This is an easy way to help out the mommy-to-be! With the envelope, she won't need to hunt down or write the addresses in order to send thank you notes!

​Before guests left they were able to snag a take away gift as a small "thank you"!

Woodland Baby Shower: Part 4

When I saw these paintings on Pinterest I thought they were the cutest things ever! They combine 2 of my favorite things: barn wood and woodland animals. I thought they would be a fun touch of whimsy to my friend's woodland nursery! Here is my most recent high-low project.

*I decided not to attach a sawtooth mount to the back of mine because they can easily hang from the connecting brackets.

Simply cut your barn wood to size, connect your pieces together, and paint!

Woodland Baby Shower: Part 3

For awhile now I've been wanting to make a rustic, 3-tiered cupcake stand; this baby shower was the perfect opportunity! There are many different styles online, but they all have one thing in common - $$$. Here is my most recent high-low project.

Tree Slices.

I found my tree slices at Michaels, but another cheap option is Saveoncrafts; both have a variety of shape, color, size, and texture for you to choose from. (OR you could find a fallen tree that you like and cut your pieces to size!)

Center Post.

For the center post I used a small log that we found outside. Dan cut it down to size. We scraped off the bark to reveal some awesome texture!

Wood Glue.

To assemble the pieces, all we used is wood glue! Initially we thought we'd need to use screws to keep it secure, but we were pleasantly surprised by how well the glue held. *Make sure that each piece is centered to ensure that your finished product is sturdy.*

Take-Away Gifts

A simple way to send some love home with your guests.
Birdseed Ornaments can be hung in a tree, from a window, lamp post, or bird house. A spin off of the traditional bird feeder, these ornaments provide a unique opportunity to relax and watch the birds with your kiddos or a cup of coffee.
Picture
These take-away gifts were so simple to make! I loved the way that they matched the woodland theme while providing a future opportunity for guests to take a breather with their families. I found this idea and tutorial on Pinterest. She has some super cute ideas for a lumberjack baby shower!
Picture
*click to view the tutorial. The only change I made was using 2 envelopes per batch rather than 1. This helped the forms keep their shape with minimal crumbles!

Unflavored Gelatine

Picture
I had never heard of unflavored gelatine before this tutorial and I had no idea where to find it! I looked at 2 stores (in the jello section) before finding it at Walmart; a package of 4 envelopes for $1.34! Here's a picture for your reference, hopefully this saves you multiple trips and several google searches!

Finishing Touch

Three words: Target Dollar Spot. This section has quickly become my favorite section in Target. Though it is a seasonal section, it consistently has super cute items for my classroom, crafting, or gifts! I found these bags to put the birdseed ornaments in, 10 bags for $1 - perfect. Always check the dollar section! I also found these cute gift tags (FREE) on Pinterest, which added a great finishing touch to the take-away gifts.
