A few weekends ago, I had the honor of throwing my little sister a Baby Shower! We were born 18 months apart, got married 2 months apart, and are now having babies 7 months apart! Yep, we are pretty close!...just wish we lived close. :( But that is one of reasons I was so excited about her shower! It was in Indiana, so I got to go home! I still say that after living in Florida for almost 7 years now. Can anyone relate?
On with the shower...
I knew the theme had to be Vintage Chic to match my sister's favorite style, and some of her best-loved colors are "Light Rose" (Pink) & "Antique White" (Ivory) which fit well because she is having a girl! So, where did I start? A secret Pinterest board, of course! But it's not a secret anymore, you can find it here! I just love how it all came together. Here are the details!

Decorations
~ "Cute as a Button" sign alongside baby pics of the mom & dad-to-be ~
~ vintage high chair with hydrangeas & baby's breath and an old handmade baby rocking chair with poem ~
~ OPI Bubble Bath nail polish favors and pink rose burlap runners for the tables ~
Food
For the Sunday afternoon shower, we served pecan chicken salad with croissants, caprese skewers, fruit with dip, cake, mini cupcakes, and pink lemonade!
~ a fun, frilly ruffle cake ~
~ mini pink champagne cupcakes ~
~ pink lemonade in glass mason jars with lace ~
Activities
1. Each guest received a baby sock when they arrived. The goal was to find its match by the end of the shower. Then the mommy-to-be got to take the cute little socks home!
2. A fun headband making station!
3. Late Night Diapers for Mom Only ~ Idea from Driven by Decor
4. Daddy-to-Be Quiz ~ He gets asked a few questions about parenting and mom's pregnancy. Everyone predicts how he answered, even the mom-to-be. The guest with the most answers right, wins!
Gifts
~ the beautiful mommy-to-be opening her gifts and a handwritten chalkboard sign ~
You may recognize a similar little soup can from my blueberry post! I ordered the sweet "I'm IN love" onesie from this website.
Guests
About 30 girls were able to attend and even my little guy got to party some between his naps.
I am so grateful to have had the help of my sister's sister-in-law. She hosted the party and did a TON of the prep work before I arrived the day before the party. My mom was also instrumental in the planning process. I had her running all over Indianapolis picking up things here and there. So a big THANK YOU to both of you!
