Bird Themed Baby Shower

My friend Genita, had her baby! A little girl. She has four kids now, wowza. She was telling me when she first found out she was pregnant "You won't believe this but, I have never had a baby shower." When she told me this I was dumb founded & I told her immediately "I need to through you a baby shower!" Here are some pictures of the decorations that I had made for the shower. The baby shower was back in August & the theme that I had done for this was birds.

(Above) This is a picture of the invitations that I had made. I had found the paper laying around that I had stuck away for later use, was glad I saved it. Along with the invitations, I had just tied the silverware around in napkins with hemp twine.
(Above) I used old jars that I had been saving for a rainy day for the center pieces. I filled them up with crumpled brown paper, stuck branches that I had found outside & spray painted white, & top them off with fake grass. I think they turned out pretty cute eh? I cut out little birds & sayings or words that describe being pregnant/babies & hung them from the branches.
I had seen this really great idea somewhere, (scratches head & thinks), I really can't remember where.(sorry) But they had this really neat idea of writing messages to baby, mommy to be & hang on tree. I just used the same paper as invitations & stamped the tops with a bird.
I wish that I had a picture of the food table & cup cakes but can't seem to find those.
This was really alot of fun for me & all the decorations were made not boughten. Gotta love that!
Til Next Time. . .
