In
less than 3 weeks I'm going to have my own baby shower, yes I'm
organising it myself! I thought it would be easier to be in control
of all things, such as food preparations, decorations and
entertainment if I rely only on myself (I had few let downs in the
fast from family members).
As
a baby shower is not a traditional English even I decided to keep it
that way- I'm not planning to have a party just for girls, we invited
couples, as I would like it to be as a “get together” day with
some possible activities throughout the day.
Our
baby shower invitations were kindly provided by Zazzle, a website
where you can find almost anything and not just buy items you see on
their website but personalise them as well.
“Zazzle
is the world's leading platform for quality custom products.
Zazzle’s rapidly expanding product base covers every topic
imaginable and includes t-shirts, business cards, invitations, in
addition to a variety of custom gifts. Upon creation, products are
instantly and accurately visualized on the site and offered in the
Zazzle marketplace. When ordered, each product is made on-demand,
typically within 24 hours. Launched in 2005 and based in Redwood
City, California, Zazzle’s vision is to redefine commerce, powered
by the world’s imagination”.
I
have spent few hours just browsing the website as I couldn't pick 1
design, I had tabs opened with few variations of the card we picked,
a card with a very cute things hanging on a laundry line and Vintage
Alice in Wonderland card, in the end we picked this (I just love it,
this little girl is so cute):
Cards
were delivered within a week and a half (according to website it
could be 5-12 business days). I am very happy with the quality of
cards as well as picture, font and colours look exactly as on a
website.
I
am also making my own bunting (wall decorations) with a small help of
Google, thankfully I had some bits and pieces left from our wedding,
such as favour bags and ribbons and I'm planning to use it all for
wall and table decorations.
Entertainment
part I would like to keep as a secret for now, but hope it will fit
well.
I'm
so nervous for some reason, just want it all to look well and be
organised, still have to think about our menu and table decorations.
Any
suggestion as to what else I can do and plan for the day?

Oh I soooo disagree with hosting your own babyshower! But, if it's any consolation, I do love the bunting :-)

I had a baby shower and it as so much fun, love the vintage invites x
ReplyDeleteNever had a baby shower :0( - invites are gorgeous though
ReplyDeleteAwwwww that bunting s so cute - I had a baby shower with my first but nothing for my second
ReplyDeleteI know you don't want to rely on others, but you could ask everyone to bring something food/ drink wise so that there is plenty to go round. Most won't want to turn up empty handed so you should get enough not to have to worry too much. Have fun!

Good luck with all the preparation! x
ReplyDeleteGorgeous invites and hope you have a fab party! I organised my own for my first two as there were so many varied friends that it was getting impossible for friends who said they'd help to arrange it. Being a freelancer meant there about 40 guests-it was so much fun though! Thanks for linking up to #brilliantblogposts
ReplyDeleteit looks like you are on the right track and have everything under control
ReplyDeleteThose invites and bodyvest bunting is so frikken adorable! I cannot wait to read about the shower after its been had! Good luck hun, I'm sure it'll rock! Thanks so much for linking up with #MMWBH x
