Hi! It's Sarah, here. And I'm back to share a little bit of my sister, Rachel's baby shower with you. A few Saturday's ago we celebrated her and her little baby-bump with a shower we called: "Dress the Nest." I used all found materials to create the decor: cardboard, scraps of fabric, left over binding tape, paint chip samples and more. The only thing I purchased were the fresh flowers, which came straight from the grocery store and were very reasonably priced.
Here'a a look at the invite:
 |
| I've blocked out the address so you all don't show up at her front door:-P |
Here's a look at my parents house, all decked out:
 |
| These letters are cut out from cardboard: dressed up with yard, fabric and mod podge and paint. |
 |
| The mantel with the bunting from scraps and left over binding tape. |
 |
| These little birds were cut from paint chip samples, free from the local home store. To make the template I used the bird graphic from the invite and just increased the size, printed it and made a tracing template. |
 |
| The buffet centerpiece. |
I put the book pages in the centerpiece to echo the library/book theme that was also a part of Rachel's shower. In the invitation we asked guests to bring their favorite children's book as a gift to Rachel, to help her build her children's book collection. We had a separate table set aside for the books:
 |
| I cut about thirty little birds and scattered them throughout the house in different places. It created a nice affect and solidified the whole theme. |
 |
| The guests of honor. |
Fresh flowers are a MUST for any party! These flowers came from the grocery store. I selected colors that fit the 'yellow and gray' palate.
The shower started at 10am and we served brunch. Here are a few of the items we served that corresponded with the theme:
 |
| My beautiful sister and her beautiful belly. |
 |
| Sophia, loving her baby and waiting for her baby cousin! |
 |
| Helping Auntie Rachel open presents. |
 |
Breaking in the bathtub for her cousin.
