This past weekend I hosted the Camping Themed Baby Shower I have been telling you guys about.  I decided on a camping theme because a)it's a boy and b)the mom and dad-to-be love to camp.  It was a gorgeous day and we had a blast.  

Below are the details:
 
I created the invitation and had them printed at Costco.
UPDATE: Due to popular demand I do offer this custom printable invitation for sale. If interested, email 733blog@gmail.com.

I borrowed my aunts chocolate fountain which is oh, so delicious! We had marshmallows and grahm crackers so that we could make smores and then we also had strawberries, pineapple and bananas to dip. I made the hello baby! banner and me and my kids made the birdhouses.  I also got the idea to make the terra cotta pots cupcake stand from A Girl and a Glue Gun. 

 

Water bottle labels that matched the invitations I made.

These were my daughters Littlest Pet Shop birds.  They were on the counter and when I turned around someone put them like this on the plates... still not sure who but I thought it was so sweet!

Special places for the guests of honor, Mom and the soon-to-be BIG SIS!

This is the outside food table.  It also had the envelopes that I put together that held a celebrity baby name game sheet, a paper diaper game, a thank you card envelope and a pen, more details on the contents below.

What is a paper diaper game you ask? I wanted some non-invasive games, so I found this cute idea online.  I chose to use paper instead of felt, but basically you cut out a diaper shape.  In one diaper you add a spot of brown for, well, you get the drift.  The person who found the messy diaper won a prize.  It was fun to hear the winner yell "YES! I HAVE THE POO!".

I added the thank you card envelopes to the package as a way to draw a grandprize winner.  Each person wrote their name and address and then I collected the envelopes and we drew a winner.

 I made a bunch of woodland creatures masks for the kiddos, because what is camping without a bit of wildlife?

 As I was driving home from work one day I was brainstorming what I could do for little favors for the guests.  I was thinking up sayings to do with pregnancy and kept coming back to the #1 question asked of pregnant women, "So when are you going to pop?" (when are you due, etc).  As I was thinking about this I thought, LOLLIPOPS!  And the idea was born.  I think they turned out cute and had lots of comments on the funny tag. Feel free to download the tags for your own personal use - available for boy and girl showers!

Here is the mom-to-be showing off the pillow I made for her little man. I also made this sash for the big sis using a freezer paper stencil.

OK, and now the winner.  Sometimes it pays to be last!

Congrats to Ana Paula @ Get Craftin'!

Happy Party Planning and Blog Beautifing!!
