Sweet Pea Shower

Well the Sweet Pea shower was a success!  This theme was a lot of fun to work with and pretty easy too.  This shower was done on a budget and in a short amount of time but I think it turned out pretty well. The mom-to-be loved it, and that is most important :)  

The mom-to-be does not know the sex of the baby but said she loved the color green.  I wanted to go with a bright green instead of a muted green and I really found a lot more decorations in the brighter green to my delight.

Here is the dessert table with the "pea" filled baby bottle favors (everyone loved).  The petit fours have peas in a pod on them.  I found the Baby Love green bag at Hallmark and fell in love with it.  It went so well with the colors.  I used it to give the mom-to-be a few items to take home. The coordinating paper ware is from Hostess Jo.

 

I also used the bottles as part of the table decorations.

 

One of the centerpieces.  I used real peas!  The outer vase is larger than the center one.  I inserted the flowers in the smaller one then into the larger one and filled with peas. 

 

The cute circle paper is actually a gift bag I cut into squares.  I thought it was really fun and colorful.

 

 

I also scattered green glass gems on the table that I brought from home.

 

My pea in a pod creation.  I used felt and spray painted styrofoam balls.

 

The ladies munched on mini bbq sandwiches and 7 layer salad with peas.  

 

These are the candles I used on the food table.  White unscented candles surrounded by peas!

 

Even the 7 layer salad fit into the decor!

 

Hope this gives you inspiration for your next Sweet Pea shower!  This theme works great with twins or triplets too.

Introducing:

 

Yippee!!  As you know I was recently hired to style a baby shower so I was thinking why not start a little party planning biz?!  I am going to specialize in coordinating the decor of the event.   I love all of the details that go into making a space party perfect.  From brainstorming to execution, I love it all.  Hopefully my first job will lead to many more!  If you are in Birmingham or surrounding areas and need creative help with your event just drop me an email at joanna@hostessjo.com.  Or if you know anyone that might need some help please tell them about me!
