A Baby Shower for Irelynn Rae

My cousin London had her baby girl this past weekend and in her honor I want to post the adorable shower her sisters, Chandra and Aubrey of Three, threw her a few months ago. Despite plumbing AND electrical problems at the host home the morning of the shower, it was still the most beautiful shower I have ever attended! They did such a great job and considering they own their own paper product company, the paper products were fabulous!

The dotted garland on the right was my contribution to the shower. I used my 2-inch and 1/2-inch punches to cut circles out of paint squares and glued them to string to make garland.

The food was provided by family and friends but was inspired by a catered baby shower Chandra had attended for a friend. Aubrey and Chandra made most of the mini cupcakes and their aunt Charlotte made the snickerdoodle cupcakes. (I think I ate about 20.) In the bottom left picture, the cupcake flavors clockwise are: banana pudding (my favorite), snickerdoodle, orange zest, s'mores and chocolate peach (a close second).

Guests were asked to sign theirs name on the branch of a tree Chandra painted for the baby's room. One of my favorite elements of the shower was the table runner that they made sewing strips of fabric together...so easy and so pretty!

The party favors were vanilla flavoring in progress (aka vanilla beans in vodka). The card on the bottles noted that by the time Irelynn was born, the vanilla would be ready for use!

Take a look at Three's website to see more creative lovlieness. Not only do they make custom invitations and paper products, they also rent vintage furniture, make custom weddings signs and stamps and offer photography!
