Northern 'Southern Gentleman' Baby Shower: The Decorations!

We are seriously blessed with the most creative and artistic family and friends when it comes to party planning. Seriously. These baby showers have not been your typical 'Let's go to a party store and pick up generic baby shower decorations.' These showers have been set with themes and executed to the smallest, most creative and special details.

I am originally from Ohio, so my three sister in-laws, my sister and a very dear and close friend of the family threw us a baby shower up north about a week ago. We liked to call this our 'Northern Baby Shower.' The theme for the baby shower was "Southern Gentleman" with a color scheme of white, navy blue and and an emerald green, with mustaches thrown in for a fun pop!

Here are the fun invitations that my sister in-law, Kim, created. She is so talented.

The main table was decorated with a blue and white table cloth with butcher paper. The butcher paper had labels, showing what all the different food was, accompanied by little mustaches. My sister in-law, Tessa, was in charge of the decorations, and she did a phenomenal job! The centerpiece was a series of glass vases filled with bluish tinted rocks and white tulips and green mums. The colors matched the color scheme perfectly. Along the windows in the back, there were little pendants and garlands that also matched the colors. ?

My sister in-law, Sarah was in charge of organizing the food. Sarah definitely has a passion and gift for food and came up with fresh and delicious menu. There was fruit salad that was served in chocolate dipped waffle cones, veggies and dip, homemade pita bread and hummus, chicken salad and croissants, and caprese salad picks. Even though my sister, Jen, could not be there, she added her touch with these little mustache toothpicks for the caprese salad bites. The food was so amazing that I went back for seconds, and maybe even thirds ;)?
For dessert, my sister, Hillary, made a very delicate, light and fresh lemon cake with blueberry filling (appropriate for a little boy!). Look at how cute it was decorated for the little Southern Gentleman! Sarah also made these amazing smore cookies that I wish I had taken a bag full home.

The drink table was decorated with a mustache garland. They served belly-ni punch in little champagne glasses and there were also mason jars tied with divine twine and green or blue and white striped party straws, with what else- mustaches!

The decorations in the living room were white frames with pictures of me and Justin, the sonogram, and other little artworks that can be used to decorate the nursery. Tessa did a fabulous job with her circuit! I LOVE how I can now hang these in the nursery and already have decor done! Perfect!


Everyone left the party with a chocolate mustache lollipop, made by the host, Victoria. Victoria opened up her new, gorgeous house for the party and I feel very honored to be the first person to have a party/shower in her house! The lollipops were tied with a blue or green ribbon and had little charms that said "It's a boy!" on them!
Thank you to everyone for your hard work for making this baby shower so special! The theme was so much fun and it was so memorable. Our little Southern Gentleman is surrounded by so much love and we are blessed :)
