It's throwback Thursday time aka sharing my back log of events! Here's a baby shower the Party Planning Mafia threw for my sister. We wanted to take inspiration from they the Super Mario Bros. theme nursery they were planning. Our plan was to do a bit more of a feminine spin on it and create pieces that they could use permanently a decoration in my niece's room. Here is what we came up with:
Invitations
Sorry it's blurry! The outside folded over to look like a game boy case and the inside was all made up like Princess Peach was the game and controls along the side. Found a graphic designer on Etsy custom make these for us. Funny story though, if you're doing one similar don't use a BCRF return address sticker because some guests might think it's fundraising literature an not open it! Lol
Food
Had to have a baby girl fruit salad, so cute! We also did light pasta, chicken and salads - the mother-to-be's favorite.
For drinks we made a variety of iced tea, a specially requested peach Bellini punch from the mother-to-be, lemonade and spirits to spike with.
For dessert there were little candies and cupcakes topped with sugar details from the game.
Decorations
Here is part of my gift: a year's worth of onesies marked for special occasions. I made sure each was personalized with a family tradition. It was a fun way for the guests to learn more about mommy and her family.
Here are the Venus fly trap plants we made and a Princess Peach poster that Marnie can enjoy in her room for years to come!
It's all in the details, little Princes Peaches everywhere! These flower pots were game prizes along with makeup kits for the quiz winners.
Our Little Surprise
We had our very own Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach! :-)
This was such a challenging yet fun shower to plan. Hope it inspires yours.
