It all started with these delightful invites crafted by my stationary guru, Kirstin. Her etsy shop is a glorious combination of funky style and elegance. Warning: once you see her crafty goodness, you will never be satisfied with store-bought cards again!
The invites requested everyone bring a favorite children's book to add to Baby Girl's library. I love the idea of books as gifts for babies - they last forever, reading is such a special snuggly time with baby, and they will offer this sure-to-be-brilliant baby (Mama has her PhD, Dad is working on his) an intellectual activity.
The bedtime theme was Kirstin's inspired suggestion (seriously, this girl is crazy creative) and I loved it! From there, all the little details just came together...
Tables made up like beds (idea from Hostess with the Mostess):
Pictures of sleeping babies everywhere:
Stars cut from various textures, shades and patterns attached to lovely ribbon (idea from the always-fabulous Lindsay):
Bedtime-inspired food:
The menu included:
"Heavenly" Hot Cocoa bar with toasted hazelnuts, shaved chocolate and marshmallows
"Over the Moon" Cake with Truffle and Baileys filling
Celestial Fruit Salad
"Starry-eyed" Shortbread Cookies with cream cheese frosting
"Sleep-inducing" Skim Milk
"Bedtime Made Better" Baileys
I had way too much fun planning for and dreaming about this shower. I cannot wait for the arrival of this little sweet girl (and bff to Eleanora)!
