Gray & Yellow Baby Shower

I hosted a baby shower for a friend a couple weeks ago.

It was awesome.

I wasn't sure what theme I wanted to go with, so I snagged the theme from

my friend's plan for the nursery for her new baby,

gray and yellow.

And it was GREAT!

Here are some pictures from the party.

I hung a pennant banner across the front of the table,

and some gray & yellow paper things

hanging from the ceiling.

 I served rice krispie treats,

lemon cupcakes, and vanilla pudding in baby food jars with

two mini nilla wafers on top

 The cupcakes were pretty good.
I used the recipe here.

 I made a circle garland from several sheets of scrapbook paper

 And I made some tissue paper puff balls.

It was my first time making them.

They were pretty easy, but need a lot of paper per ball.

I was a little skimpy with the paper, so I probably would have been

more pleased if I hadn't.

But tissue paper can get expensive.  So I just had 7.

But it was enough.

 I also bought 1/8 yard of three different yellow and gray fabrics

from JoAnn.  Then I cut them into strips and tied

them onto some gray ribbon.

I thought it was pretty cute.

And the whole thing was about $7.

 Entry table; 

here's a close-up of the chalkboard

 And I had these cutie elephant sugar cookies

in the little basket on this table as a favor, so the guests could

grab one or two on their way out the door.

 It was a lot of fun planning this party,

and it seemed that everyone who was able to come had fun.

So it's a complete success in my book.

Also, did you see how great the table looks in use?!

I had asked my husband to try to have it done so we could use it

for the party.  And it was done and dry with enough time to spare.

Thanks, Honey!
