{Yellow + Grey} Little Man baby Shower
Today's {Yellow + Grey} Little Man Baby Shower event was submitted by Tiffany Berkeley of Orange Moon Events. We are delighted to welcome Tiffany to our blog to share with you all of the lovely details that went into planning this event...
The mommy-to-be’s favorite color is yellow so we decided to use a yellow and gray color palette. We used bowtie onesies and mustache design elements and, since it was a little man theme, she suggested that we use argyle and seer sucker patterns as well. Invitations were customized with the yellow and gray argyle pattern with a yellow and white seersucker striped onesie. Tables were covered with white linen tablecloths with gray or yellow pashmina scarves used as table runners. Vases with yellow and white flowers served as centerpieces on the guest tables. Baby themed disposable cameras and mustache photo booth props were placed on each table for guests to pass around and take pictures throughout the shower. Place settings alternated between yellow and gray plates and on top of each plate, a white gable box labeled “My Stache” was filled with all the necessary supplies for the shower. “My Stache” boxes included flatware, napkins, a mustache straw, 3 game cards, a pen and a packet of M&Ms matching the shower’s colors. Various paper products were customized to match the shower’s invitation such as the game cards, party circles, advice cards, water bottle labels and food tent cards. Yellow and white striped napkins, which mimicked the seer sucker pattern in the paper products, were used at the dessert table.
A spread of appetizers included a cheese and grape tray, vegetable tray, mini quiche, sweet & sour meatballs, ham sandwiches and cheese with meat dip served with tortilla chips. Lemonade and iced tea as well as mini bottled water with custom bottle labels in the shower’s colors and patterns were served.
The M&M packets, which doubled as game pieces for the Baby Bingo game that guests played, were a perfect favor for guests once the games were over. The “My Stache” gable boxes were used by guests as take out boxes for all their goodies. Sugar cookies were bagged in yellow and white striped favor bags for guests to take as they left.
