Happy Saturday everyone!

This week sure flew by and so did this summer!

I  want to share with you these beautiful baby shower favor tags that kept me busy this past summer. I have made almost 1,000 of these nail polish favor tags these past two months and I have to tell you, they are stinkin’ cute! They are designed to fit around nail polish bottles which seems to be a trendy baby shower favor this year.

Many people have marked as their favorite these Pink Nail Polish Favor Tags, especially for the original wording written on them. The favor tag reads: “We are tickled pink, right down to our toes!” . I can’t take credit for the wording on the tag as it was a custom order from a customer.

Pink Nail Polish Baby Shower Favor Tags
We have seen so many favor tags tied around pink nail polish bottles reading ‘ It’s A Girl! ‘ . I believe it started trending when OPI came out with a beautiful shade of pink nail polish named like that. 
But a couple of weeks ago I had a custom order for baby shower nail polish favor tags for a baby boy. I made them in a beautiful shade of baby blue cardstock with white  ribbon and mint green  wording as requested by my customer.

I tied them around one of my favorite shades of green/blue I own. The nail polish pictured above is called Mint Candy Apple by Essie. You could also tie them around a beautiful shade of baby blue nail polish from Essie too, called Bikini So Teeny. Yeah, love me some blue nail polish!
The tiny die cut onesie mounted on sticky squares are my signature favor tag. But how about this red favor tags – for nail polish bottles too- for a baby shower that will be held around Christmas time?

I can’t take credit for the original wording on this favor tag either, it was a custom order for Joanne’s baby Shower and it reads: “For your mistle-toes”. The die cut baby feet are the highlight of the tag. I can’t wait to make these in pink and blue too!

Shabby Chic Baby Shower Decor – Vintage Style

By:

Since I was a little girl, I had a tendency to like cottage chic decor…. especially those little girl bedrooms full of white distressed furniture with pink floral bedding and splashes of aqua here and there. I remember when I first saw a picture of a beautiful ‘shabby chic’ bedroom set portrayed on a JC Penney Catalog… I was probably 10 and I ripped the page and kept it for years. Yes, I have been scrapping for a long time! 
When I first got pregnant, I knew that if I was having a baby girl, I was going to make her the most beautiful shabby chic nursery ever 😉 …God blessed me with a little sailor and instead, I designed for him a not too shabby nautical retreat.

I have been saving a shabby chic nursery post for later this year…I have an ongoing project that I would love to share with all of you, but it’s not finished ;). I will make sure to come back to this post and write an update when the time comes. Well, I do not have a shabby chic nursery for you today, but I do have a beautiful shabby chic baby shower that I designed for Daniela based on the colors pink, aqua and lavender.

Shabby Chic cardstock is not easy to find. To make a sturdy banner, I printed shabby chic scrapbooking paper and mounted it onto solid color coordinating cardstock.

Shabby Chic Baby Shower Banner

This particular banner read: “Lu’s Baby Shower” – a long one, yes – 

This time I incorporated pastel color mini clothes pins instead of wooden ones. Both types are itty bitty cute and pretty 🙂 ! 
The patterns include roses, stripes and damask.
I made cupcake toppers out of the tiny roses on pink and tiny roses on aqua papers. I do not carry this design of cupcake toppers anymore – printed on the back – I would only make them if custom ordered. They are a little more time – and ink- consuming therefore, the cost is higher. 
These are the food tents. I sent these blank because the customer hadn’t decided on the menu just yet. But I do offer them with the food names printed on it. 
We kept the cupcake wrappers in coordinating solid colors. These are the perfect final touch for the cupcakes. 
Cupcake wrappers ship flat and ready to assemble. 
These are two samples of shabby chic baby shower favor tags. Tiny roses on pink…{very popular in my shop} and featured on an Etsy Treasury.

I heart custom orders. Send me an email to poshpaperpartiesco at gmail dot com { replace the at for a @ and the dot for an actual dot (.) } nobody likes spammers!

Thank you for looking! 🙂

Gender Neutral Baby Shower Banner – Pastel Colors

By:

When throwing a neutral gender baby shower, green and yellow seems to be the preferred palette for moms to be. However, there’s nothing wrong with adding some other pastel colors like baby blue or lavender… even throwing a hint of pink is absolutely ok. 
When it comes to “baby talk” my favorite quote says: ” Babies are kiss from Heaven, blown by the hand of God ”  and to me, my precious baby has a hint of all the colors in the rainbow, the colors of the sunrise and the sunset all together.

A few months back I created this beautiful banner for “Baby Morgan”

The baby shower theme was “Ready to Hatch” and we incorporated the bird in the banner, keeping the letters in pastel yellow on top of a very delicate patterned cardstock. 
The patterns included stripes, polka dots, stars…
and this cute pattern with all baby items/words printed on it ( picture below – first onesie with the letter O ).
For this particular banner, instead of hanging the onesies with clothespins on a tulle, the customer preferred to have them tied to each other with tulle knots. I used green, white and lavender tulle to make the knots.
This order included 130 favor tags ( big party ah?! ) and I kick myself because I did not take pictures of them. Even though it was my popular onesie design on a scalloped background, this time the onesie was die cut on this yellow gingham patterned paper and it looked lovely. 
Don’t be afraid of adding a touch of lavender or pink to your gender neutral baby shower…after all, there’s 50% chances that you will have a baby girl too…so why settle for just green and yellow?
By the way, consider this too when designing your neutral gender nursery. Not much the adding pink and lavender part, but thinking outside the box an adding pops of bright color to your baby’s room. Take a peek a this Cool and Retro Neutral Gender Nursery and design board and get inspired.
Thanks for looking! Happy Baby Shower planning!
