Last weekend I threw my sister a baby shower. For those new readers out there, my sister is pregnant with her first baby, a BOY! My first nephew!
When I first thought about throwing her a shower I knew I wanted to do a cute theme, but I needed something cost-effective. So I went on a hunt and finally settled on a "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" theme! It ended up being perfect because it was easy to do a lot of cute decorations, without having to spend a ton of money on custom pieces. I made the invitations and decorations myself, and the star shapes were easy to incorporate into the food.
Overall, I really like the way it turned out! Thank goodness for my mom and cousin though - they came over to help me clean. There is no way I could have pulled the rest of it together without their help! And my family pitched in sandwiches, salads, etc. to round out the food - it was a team effort, for sure!
Without further ado, here are some pictures!
(The blank spots on the invitation are just where I removed name, address, etc.)
(I made stars out of scrapbook paper and also used some gold star ornaments I bought.)
Star-shaped jigglers.
Star-shaped cookies with jolly ranchers in the center.
Pinapple punch.
"Congratulations on Your New Little Star" - thanks to my mom for getting the cake!
The spread! You can't see here, but I had little star cutouts scattered on the table.
Presents!
My grandma always makes a diaper cake for her grandbaby and great-grandbaby showers.
My beautiful sister!
Doesn't she have the cutest little baby bump? It's so fun seeing my sister pregnant!
We played several different games, including the string-measuring game (pictured above), "break the water" with ice cubes and plastic babies, the clothespin game (a baby shower classic for our family), a drawing contest (drawing a baby with the paper on top of your head), and a baby item memory game!
Present-opening! She got most of the things she needed!
My mom with Gwen.
Me and my girl.
Me and both my kiddos! Couldn't get Wyatt to sit still though - he was trying to squirm out of his chair here!
My sister, mom, sister-in-law, and me!

Overall I think the shower was as success! I can't wait to meet my sweet nephew - I'm pretty sure he's going to be pretty much adorable. Only a couple more months at the most!
