Party Planning- Ahoy Its a Boy

Ahoy Its A Boy Baby Shower


Hey Everyone! Sorry for the delayed blog post! I had a crazy weekend and I threw my sister-in-law a surprise sprinkle baby shower on Sunday so I couldn't blog about it till today! 


My Brother & Sister-in-law are expecting their second boy and our family couldn't be more excited! My mom & I started talking about throwing a shower for them & so I headed over to pintrest to collect ideas! They are decorating my new little nephews bedroom in a nautical theme so when pintrest showed me the "Ahoy Its A Boy" Theme I knew I had to use it! 

So we got to work! We took The Pajama Mamma Party Planning Outline  and planned out our party!

INVITATION
After choosing our location date & time I made our invitation. Because it was a surprise party and just a small family event, we didn't create a Facebook event or send out invitations in the mail. I secretly stole an adorable 3D ultrasound photo off of my Sister in laws Facebook page, created this invitation thanks to inspiration from Pinterest & my awesome computer program "Page Plus" & then sent it in a text message to our family members.
FOOD
Thanks to Pinterest we found a bunch of cute ideas for the food! Here's a picture of "Buba" & "Sissy" enjoying the party and the delicious food!



 We decided to have "Crabwiches" which turned out to be DELICIOUS! I highly recommend this recipe for your next event!  CRABwiches Recipe 

  My mom is an awesome cake maker and she made these adorable and delicious blue cupcakes and I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out some adorable whales to stick on top!

We decided that Chips and fruit were the perfect sides for our Crabwiches and blue Koolaid labeled as "Ocean Water" was a big hit!

Our Fishbait labeled gummy worms and Salt Water Taffy were a also a fan favorite especially with all our little ones!


DECORATIONS 

Thanks again to Pinterest for all the wonderful ideas we found for decorations! Also a special thanks to my sister who was a huge help in setting everything up the day of the shower!

For our welcome decor we made an "Ahoy Its A Boy" banner and got some balloons so when my Sister-in-law pulled up she would know what was going on!

Our food table we decided to make look like a ship. We used tablecloths, a pole and some paper circles. This was surprisingly easy!

I absolutely love my Shilouette Cameo! I can do so much wonderful things with it and it was  HUGE help with this party! I used it to cut out these peices for our Ahoy Its A Boy pail and my mom made this L which is the first letter of my nephews name! 

Around the room decor was this cute little anchor garland. 

For the present station we added a "Mamma to be banner" and I thought the presents looked beautiful in the window with the light coming from behind them.
And our Special event decor was our baby whale balloon "Guestbook" 

 PHOTOBOOTH 
 Here's a few cute pictures from our photobooth from our party!

THE GUESTS OF HONOR



 MY BABY SHOWER GIFT

Again thanks to my amazing Cameo I made these adorable gifts for my nephews! I made them big brother / lil brother shirts that said "Did we just become best buds" & "YEP!" along with a sign for the baby's room that said "Poop Deck"
(I am also a photographer and I gave them a gift certificate for a free maternity photo shoot)

 It was such a beautiful Sprinkle Shower and we had so much fun celebrating the soon arrival of our next little boy! I hope you enjoyed these pictures from our party and maybe even were inspired for your next event!
