kathryn’s baby shower

Wish trees. DIY inspired. Yummy desserts. Mason jars. A beautiful neutral palette {gender of her baby was a surprise}.
Kathryn’s baby shower, hosted by her fabulous sisters, is just is too adorable not to share!

From Kathryn {owner and creator of the lovely Kathryn Giarratano Jewelry, which we love}… When people arrived, they took their name tag (circles w/ ducks), chose a pink or blue diaper pin, and pinned their gender guess on the appropriate board…

…The WISH tree had cards on the table that my sisters made that said random things like:
‘Dear Baby,
I hope you love___.
Love Always, ___’
It prompted several different things for people to say to the baby…I hope you love, laugh, aren’t afraid of, etc…

… fun striped straws and giraffe card holders. Yes, they served vodka to everyone else 😉 …

…The dessert table had:
{1} Chocolate-dipped marshmallows and pretzels
The polka-dot stand was made using a foam block and covering it with decorative paper. The foam holds the marshmallow sticks well.
 {2} Cookies shaped like ducks and baby onesies
{3} Mini cupcakes
{4} Heart-shaped little cakes
These are a GREAT time-saving idea, and they’re super cute! You just buy a box of Oreo Cakesters and use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to make these sweet heart cakes. So easy!…

…As a party favor, my sisters decorated little mason jars, so people could go down the line at the candy bar and take some sweet treats to go…

… Baby Guiliana was born this past New Year’s Eve. She is absolutely beautiful, and knowing Kathryn’s fabulous style, she is going to be accessorized starting at a young age :). Congratulations to the new parents!
