Sweet Shower Details

October 16th, 2009 @ 8:24 am by Mrs. Green Tea

I have theme addiction. It’s true. I thought about seeking help, for themes often conflict with practicality, and practicality is high up on my list. But before I go get myself fixed, I indulged in MOH-Ho’s sugary shower details. You’ve already seen my ’Sugar Spice Nice’ shower invites and I’ve also shown you the food and drinks dessert set up. Now I must confess that beyond the leftover labels and the special drink signs, there is more. Looking at all this pink makes me nauseous (I’m not a pink person, MOH-Ho is), and I apologize in advance if you also wanna throw up a little bit in your mouth. Okay, here we go.

For the cotton candy set up, homeboy will be making the fresh mini puffs with popsicle sticks instead of cones, and place them in pink cupcake liners for display in a cupcake pan. I made these little stickers for the popsi-sticks:



I have a 3-table set up for the food and drinks and each one will have one of these banners:

I couldn’t leave the water bottles naked, so they too have matching labels. We went with MOH-Ho’s favorite design…

but I had to get one with the label design that was my fav. :)

The skewers for the chocolate fountain are dressed up with little letter flags on top that spell s-u-g-a-r:

And since I’m planning ’too much food’, I printed these to-go bags for guests to take some goodies home in. I put the brown paper lunch bags through the printer and the printing didn’t come out perfect, but I think the imperfection actually fits the bags quite well:

And there’s the guest book. I’ve never attended a bridal shower so I’m not sure if it’s weird to have one of these, but I thought a cake plate signed by the shower guests (with a porcelain pen) would be a nice keepsake for MOH-Ho to remember the day by.

Phew! Now if you can stand more of this crazy matchy-match pink mush, next are the heavier DIY projects!

You are amazing! **(In your spare time - how about a flight to TX for a party?)** Kidding!

Seriously though - the thought and work you put into this shower is awesome. It will be beautiful and I don’t think at this point anyone will be critical of there being too much food - they’ll be thrilled to take some home!

Beautiful!!!

I *love* that font. So very, very much. It makes me want to throw a somewhat casual party so I can use it. Man, when my MOH gets engaged, she is going to have the most awesome shower in the world thanks to the Bees :)

it really has taken a tremendous amount of time, effort, and patience to plan this shower, i ain’t gonna lie. i’m fortunate that MOH-Ho and her mama has helped a lot with the assembly of things, as they did with the invites, so a lot of the credit should go to them. oh and, thx everyone for not calling me ‘crazy pink theme lady’ :)

@anvil_chick: i printed on transparencies and put them thru a xyron. the glue does fuzz up a bit so it’s not perfectly clear, but putting in a noisy background distracts it enough that it looks OK.
