Baby Shower I Have Hosted for KING

I hosted this baby shower for my grandson "King".....in Jan 2014 He was born April 6th, 2014
I really enjoyed hosting this baby shower for my youngest daughter Minks...........

I ordered the cake from Harris Teeter Grocery Store and it was delicious

I love making the drinks to match the color scheme

I love creating candy bars.....such a special treat for your guest

All these gifts were from me.....I was such a proud and excited grandmother

Again All these were from ME... what can I say I was excited...... :)

I hosted this in my basement before I added any decor down there....


I made this sign using felt and yard very affordable

I made these cute party favors from styrofoam cups and yarn and made them look like lil booties

Gift bags for games

I love personalizing water bottles


Candy Bar Stocked and Ready to serve

I asked all the guest to bring a book for king and write him a special message inside

Food labels are a must for my entertaining.......makes the buffet style set up very polished


I Made her a belly cast which was so much fun and a beautiful keepsake for mommy to be
The End.......      


This next baby shower was for my grand daughter "KYLEE" it was a DIVE Theme.....Born july 13th, 2014.....I had two daughters expecting at the same time.....
Candy Bar and desserts........my basement is the entertaining spot for sure.....

I love placing things in Zones when I entertain......


Each baby shower I try and out do the one before it.....this was after kings.....like 2 months later

This is my oldest daughters baby shower



I made the cupcakes.......

Beautiful shower lots of fun planning it ....... The End

The next baby shower was my first shower for my oldest grandson...my oldest daughters baby....Kylees brother..... SCOTTIE born Feb 06, 2013 His shower had no theme.....
Mommy and Daddy

I made this diaper cake

He didn't have a candy bar :(......gift bags for games and party favors

hosted in my basement of course.....I had nothing down there so placing the tables like a banquet hall was perfect

Lots of Room and it was filled up

His decor was kept simple and to the point

Can you tell I was proud though,,,,,,lol

Sorry Grandson......I made up for the lack of through all these gifts I bought.... 

This last baby shower was my most recent for baby " Charlee" a princess theme
