Gender Neutral Baby Shower Banner – Pastel Colors

August 17, 2012 By: Flavia

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! 

Baby Shower Favor Tags – Wording Ideas

August 10, 2012 By: Flavia

What should I write on baby shower favors? That is a very common question customers ask me when ordering favor tags for this occasion.

I have made so many baby shower favor tags in the last year that I think I have enough material to write this blog post {and I am sure there’s more to come!}.

Each “saying” is accompanied by a picture, so you can also see examples of color and patterns combinations and get inspired.

Note: You’re going to see A LOT of onesies! They are people’s favorite! 

OK. Let’s get to it:

1} Most popular and no brainer: ” Thanks for coming! –  Lu’s Baby Shower “


2} If you have picked your baby’s name, this wording is appropriate and very cute!: “Welcome Baby Harlyn Annabelle”
I love this pink and lavender favor tag so much I have to post another picture 😉
 
I love… { I know, I love all of them ! } this shabby chic favor tag with a baby blue background, not too common for a baby girl baby shower, but it works well!
3} You can also omit the word ‘baby’ and just write a plain: “Welcome Elizabeth Robin”
4} This is another simple wording, it includes the name of the mom to be and the date of the baby shower: “Cara’s Baby Shower – February 26th-2012”. No onesie here, this tag was for a customer hosting a vintage themed baby shower and wanted a vintage baby carriage. Cute!
 


5} Sometimes, baby showers are not only offered for the mom-to-be but also for the dad-to-be. This particular tag was meant to be tied around a drink for a picnic themed baby shower.

It reads: ” Stephanie and Travon’s Baby Shower – Cheers for Baby Aidan”. Notice that to give the tag a rustic feeling, customer chose baking twine instead of satin ribbon.
How about this one to welcome your little prince? This particular tag was made to match the A New Little Prince Baby Shower theme.
6} Here is another example using the baby’s name and the date of the baby shower: “Baby Kendra – April 7th-2012” . I love this tag! The customer asked me if I could customize the background to be cherry blossoms, and I did. I love the palette of green and pink with a hint of brown that comes from the cherry blossoms tree.
7} This is one of the most popular favor tags in my shop, if not THE MOST popular. In fact, they were featured on a Etsy Treasury list. It was designed for a shabby chic themed baby shower where the baby shower hostess was giving tea bags as favors.
It reads: “A Baby is Brewing – Kim’s Baby Shower”. 
 
8} And one more example, for a baby girl baby shower:
” We are tickled pink that you came to celebrate Katharine Grace!”


I hope these favor tags wording ideas inspire you as well as the color combination, themes and patterns used on them. For more baby shower colors and inspiration, click here.

A Girly Baby Shower – Lavender and Pink –

September 17, 2011 By: Flavia

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Jessica hosted her sister’s baby shower and I was very pleased to help her with the decor. Together we came up with the color theme and we agreed on pink…{but of course!}, lavender and light green. I made cupcake toppers, favor tags, napkin rings, welcome sign and the prettiest banner. I can only take credit for the decor on the cupcake stand and toppers {not the cupcakes, I can’t bake..*sigh*} and the other paper goods. Jessica made the beautiful diaper cake, wrapped up the favors in tulle and put everything together in the room making all those decorations shine!

It might sound silly, but I LOVE the tub with the cold drinks! It just looked like if it was made for this particular occasion! The favors were little picture frames with the baby’s sonogram wrapped in white tulle and tied up with the favor tags. I loved the P-A-R-T-Y platters that she filled up with coordinating candies… It was just beautiful!
