My Sister's Baby Shower

My sister's baby shower was this past weekend at the Napa Valley Grille. I loved how the room was above the main dining area, allowing the room to be filled with natural light while also being private. My stepmom did all of the decorations and I think she did such a great job. We went with an animal theme to match the Dwell animal invitation from Tiny Prints that my sister's best friend picked out (which also matches the nursery!)


Balloons and animal topiaries:


My favorites: pig and hippo


Pompoms and "it's a boy" elephant banner




Centerpieces: my stepmom sewed the tulle that's around the flowers, then added ribbon and pinned on an animal finger puppet. So cute!


It was my idea to use the Little Gorilla book as a guest book. H's cousins/family gave him a copy when he was born and I loved that they all signed it. I thought it was perfect for the animal theme baby shower!

Pompoms these were really time consuming to "poof"-I recommend trying to find ones that are easier to fluff (if that's a possibility?)
Hershey Kisses with elephant stickers on bottom
Wooden animals: Manny and Simon push toys
I made the signs for cupcakes, gifts, guest book using the same Dwell animals from the invitation (though different arrangement of animals)
