Hallo 2016!

While some unlucky souls had to be back in the office last week, I think today most of us are back in our work seats, getting ready and planning for a great year.  As today will be long (the first day after a holiday always is), we found something pretty for you to browse during your tea break.

So we are kicking of the year with this pretty vintage baby shower by Outlandish Events.

Details I loved?
- The use of orange and yellow flowers with the base color, blue.  Works so well! 
- The message that the guests had to write on the back of the disposable nappies.  What a nice way to get an inspiring message from friends and family on a daily basis.

"Our decor set up included a variety of flowers placed in odd items such as tea pots, cups and saucers etc.. Pearls, candles and vintage books were the finishing touches. Our Hessian runners with lace trimming added to our vintage feel. Welcome Drinks were served to the guests in glass bottles tied with hessian material. Consol glasses has become such a trendy item in party styling and we could not be caught without these added beauties! A vintage ladder, typewriter and vintage cups and saucers all contributed to our beautifully styled baby shower.
The goodies that adorned our vintage dessert table included a beautifully made cake along with cupcakes that looked like a pieces of art. They looked so good that the guests were too heartsore to gobble them down! Beautifully hand decorated by talented baker Tanya’s Cupcake Cafe.  The best macarons in Johannesburg (I would say in South Africa!) supplied by C’est Mon Macarons.
Our events would never be complete without a photo booth. Our guests had such a lovely time taking photos and putting on the props we supplied. Vintage Umbrellas, boas and hats were some of the items we made available to the guests to have a fun time with.
We also arranged some of the games which included a message to the mom to be written on nappies to give her a laugh or support during the 3am feeds and nappy changes! Our Mom to be had to guess who the messages were from and she did a great job at that. She clearly knew who her friends are!

Enjoy the pictures!"

This baby shower was so much fun to put together.  Victoria asked for a star theme in colors of white & gold, and I went merrily on my way.  

Besides decor, she wanted some games for the guest to play as well as a thank you gift for each person. I decided on 'baby shower bingo' and 'steal-the-chocolate' as both are fun and quick!

Enjoy the pictures.

I know that some people dread games at baby showers, and for good reason.  Some of them are horrible.  But I also do feel that a game adds an element of fun and giggles to the event that we definitely want.

I adapted this "Match the baby with the Celebrity' game from an Australian blog: For the Love of George. For the original international celebrity version, click here.
