Party Recap

When we started planning Jennifer's shower she kept saying, "I don't want a theme! I don't want anything too "baby" in the shower! I want it to be a cool shower." But being the "party-passionate" girl that I am, I knew immediately that having no theme is just plain IMPOSSIBLE. Even if you have a color scheme, the theme is still the colors.....and eventually, you end up adding some baby elements to make it just the right amount of "baby" for the mom-to-be. In Jennifer's case, she quickly realized she loved the Rock & Roll themed baby shower idea. It was cool, hip and not at all your typical baby shower theme. she must have had a crazy pregnancy dream with teddy bears, sheep and bunnies taunting her, which scared her straight out of anything remotely baby-looking. The colors she wanted were red, gray, black and white; perfect Rock & Roll colors! After that, we "rolled" with it and everything fell into place. We used a houndstooth fabric for the runners and the table backdrop. Vinyl Records were used for the centerpieces and the two cupcake stands. I made custom napkin rings, banner and every takeout box for the candy had a custom detail to tie in the party. We got the rock and roll invitation on etsy (the shop is linked from my blog). The table backdrop incorporated a baby clothes clothesline to give it just the right touch of "baby" so as for it to still look like a BABY shower. My bestie loved the shower and I was thrilled she did. :) She deserved that and more!
