As for Suzās āSHOWERā themed baby shower, here are the detailsā¦
We designed our own invitations on Photoshopā¦.they were inspired from these.
And whipped out a fun ābabyā banner.Ā Of course I had to incorporate umbrellas into the banner. I used my trusty Sihouette machine to make it. I seriously use it all the time. I never thought it would get so much use, but I use it at least 4-5 times a month!Ā Ā
Side note: I am loving my barn wood mantle that my cute hubby built for me. Isnāt it soo awesome!
Then I got flowers from trusty āol Walmart for the table. Arenāt they cute!?!? They were already dyed orange, green, and blue. I love mums {at least I think they are mums}. Iām not the smartest flower girl in the shed when it comes to being a floral encyclopedia. I got the plates from Target. I love their party section! They have the best paper plates and napkins by far!
I put orange poster board on the table with small polka dots {also cut out with my Silhouette}.
The flowers were an answer to my prayers I think. I needed something cute for the table, and the colors were perfect!
Next we made clouds for the straws {these were inspired from HERE}.
After the first go around, I decided that cutting slits into the clouds was a lot easier than cutting round holes. So, thatās what I did the second time I made these.
THEN, each person went home with some lemon drops in a cute chevron bag from party land. Get it? Lemon DROPS??? Thanks for DROPPING by like raindrops!?!?? Ha. Iām cheesy, but I love it.
Ā
We decorated with umbrellas {which were also the bunko prizes} and rain drops made from cutting hearts with my silhouette and folding them in half and gluing them to fish line.
Then I took some washi tape and made some fun labels for our water bottles. I used the print and cut feature on my Silhouette to make the cute umbrella circles.

Thank you to Jo {my BFF} for helping me with all of these crafting projects!
I thought it turned out sooo cute, and I know Suz loved it!

Brooke,
What is Bunko?
Bunko is a game that you play with a group of girls. Some spell it Bunco too. š
Oh, and what is SNAP? All these acronyms, and I am curious to know what they all mean, lol.
No problem. SNAP is a blog conference in Utah on April 18, 19, 20. I am excited to be speaking and so is my brother Court.
This is awesome! I will be planning a baby shower in the next few months for my sister-in-law and I will take all the ideas I can get. I love all the things that tied into the raindrops š

Super cute! I love those flowers, you lucked out!! The raindrop garlands are adorable.
First of all, I love Bunko and tonight is the night our group plays so I’m so excited and looking forward to it. Next, you did an awesome job on the shower!! I love the colors and theme.
