Mustache or Bows Pt 2

Decorations.

I started with the theme and then I stuck to the two colors. Lilac and powder blue. Everything centered around that.

When guests first walked up to the house. There was a table to great them.

They were to wear a bow or a mustache based on what they thought the baby was going to be. I made the bows out of ribbon and the mustaches out of felt.I guess I should have taken a picture of them.. but at least I got the jars. Except the jars look a hot mess.













 Next, was the food table.

The party was in the early afternoon on a saturday. I knewI wanted food but not a whole lot. We had a few warm dips. Like Spinach artichoke.  Brian also made jalapeno popper dip. SO GOOD. Plus I had your usual cheese, meatballs and veggies. And Brian's little sister made some yummy cake balls.

Rachel found these lax sticks. They were originally navy and hot pink, so I used Martha's everything paint so they'd stick to the plastic. It game out really well.

I wanted a way to label the food. I had these little chalk board tags left over from our wedding. they were PERFECT.

Lastly, Was the "Cake Table" Except I didn't have cake. Brian wanted the reveal to be different from the usual of cake or cup cakes (i'll post later on that). So instead I decided to have a Cookie Toast. After we revealed the gender we were going to have Big cookies and glasses of milk to hand out to every one. 

I forgot to take a good picture of the table before we had the cookies. So pretend there are more cookies and little cups on the table.

Also, I made poms to hang from the ceiling over the table. You can find them every where on pintrest. They are SUPER easy. The "Cake stand" is actually a truffle bowl upside down with a large platter on it. BRILLIANT.Although I can't claim that as my own idea. Rachel thought of that a while ago.

So, there ya have it. Our food and decorations from the party. Pretty proud of myself. Not gonna lie.

Thats all for now

Mustache or Bow?

The new thing in life is to throw a gender reveal party for your friends and family on what gender the baby is going to be.

So, naturally me always being up for a party decided I was going to throw one. I was going to post all the pictures in one big post. But I have a TON of pictures. Instead I'll post separately.

I wanted to throw this party shortly after we found out what the gender of the baby was going to be. But not too far after. But I also needed to make invitations and get them sent out. So with a little prayer, I ended up sending out invitations before I even had a Sono appointment.

I scoured pintrest and google looking for themes for the party. And came up with "Mustaches or Bows". Like most of what I do for crafts, this was not my idea. I stole it from somebody.


Heres what the invite looked like.WHICH I did create myself. In publisher. One slow Friday afternoon.

 Cute huh? I will post more on it. When I have time. Which is never. BUT the party really did turn out awesome. And I think everyone had fun. Although I'll tell you. I had 13 people RSVP. and almost 30 showed up.... I love my friends.
