Butterfly Baby Shower

Butterfly Baby Shower

 

 

The entire theme of my baby shower was inspired by these little nylon butterflies I made! They are too cute for words!

 

 

I even made some miniature ones for the letters on my baby girls nursery wall!

 

The main decoration was this Butterfly Diaper Cake I made! I used over 100 size 1 diapers, tulle, baby socks, flowers and ribbon as well as some of the hand painted nylon butterflies. This picture has been getting repined like crazy on Pinterest. At the time this post was written (March 2015) it was at 127 repins and it is being pinned about 3 times a day!  I also used a smaller version of the butterflies in my daughters nursery.. I am working on a tutorial for how to make them that I will hopefully post in the near future so check back for it!

 

 

Here is a close up of the diaper cake topper :

 

I made a few diaper cupcakes for table centerpieces

 

 

They were each topped with a coordinating baby sock bouquet:

 

I get all of my cakes at my local Shop N Save - the large one with the big bakery inside! I let them know the theme and let them be creative with the design.

 

 

This sign was posted in the girls bathroom and I found it really hilarious! My baby shower took place in a meeting area of a Senior Care Center.

 

 

I have been wanting to try my hand at making fun balloon decorations and this was the first time I had a chance to make some! I made balloon columns! They are so fun!

The thank you favor was my homemade sugar cookies! Before I discovered my perfect icing recipe! To see all of my sugar cookies check out this post.
