Melissa's Baby Shower

Last Saturday myself and Melissa's friend, Nicole, hosted a Baby Shower with the help from my mother in law. It was a perfect day for a baby shower, not too hot, slight breeze, great food and company. The shower was at Campagina in Fresno on the outdoor patio; food was great and the staff was wonderful to work with.

Along with Melissa's input, we chose and Shabby Chic Vintage Story Book Theme and I couldn't be more please with how everything turned out. The patio at Campagina was a perfect backdrop for the decor we had with hints of burlap and lace and vintage storybooks through out. During the shower guests decorated baby blocks for baby Emilia and played a nursery rhyme game.

Cupcakes were done by Simply Sweet in three flavors: Chocolate, Red Velvet and Salted Caramel, All of which were delicious. I know this because Monica, Brittany and I spit all three, yea, we're smart! The favors were bags of Kettle Corn from Scott Barnes Kettle Corn and we're a hit, as always!! Scott and his wife Rachel also own Central Valley Storks and we were able to use a small sign that said "The Shower is Here"! If anyone is Fresno needs any of these things for showers or party's, click the links and that should take you to the right place, or ask me and I'll get you in contact with the right person!

Can I just say how thankful I am for Pinterest, Hobby Lobby and knowing crafty friends?! I had so much fun putting little details together for this shower! Here are some pictures from the day. Things that were made: Baby Banner, Letter "B", Flower Vases with burlap and Lace (thanks to Nicole), Tissue Garland, Sign in Sheet and Glitter Name sign (thanks to my talented friend Becci). Along with the decor I decided to make baby Emilia a bow holder and some headbands/bows to start her out with along with her first tutus. Making baby girl stuff is addicting...

Also, if you're in need flowers go to Trader Joe's! The hydrangeas we got were perfect and so affordable! Thanks to my friends Kristen and Ali for the tip to go there!

I'd say the shower was a success and so much fun to put together! Thanks to everyone who helped out.

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy:
