Baby Shower Ideas

Organizing a baby shower for a BFF's is fun though it is time consuming and tiring. So, I thought I will put down some of the details to make it much easier for the ones who are about to plan one.

1. Location
2. Decoration (Theme)
3. Cake
4. Invites
5. Games
6. Food

Location:
Selecting a location was fairly easy for us we initially thought we will celebrate it in the house however, my bff's husband decided we do somewhere out so, we looked at some of them  and finaliZed one. I went to that location confirmed about chairs decoration and when the hall will be available.

Cake:
To finalize a specialty cake was of a little concern as it took a while for me.  We finalized on the Girafee Cake but, here are some more that I loved.











Return Gifts:
I found these pretty baby figures on a website and they are absolutely lovely.  These are soaps (which no one wants to use) with baby powder smell.




Decoration:
Decoration was simple, Animal theme from Party City.  Also, as it was for a boy, I decided I will go with Blue, Green and yellow balloons so that it wont be too clicheWe wanted Animal Theme for it. So, we went to party City and found all the animal related and baby shower related stuff.  Bought some regular balloons on Amazon. Here is the picture


Invites:  
You can find a lot of invites online and I Chose a monkey baby invite. Was cute and the mom Loved it.

Games:
