Little Man Baby Shower


A few weeks ago I shared the invitations for the Little Man Baby Shower we were planning for Ashley. Well, this last weekend was the big event and we had a great time! (For more information on ordering these invitations, see the bottom of this post.)
Here is Ashley with her sweet family. How precious is Ava?! I can't wait to see who Judd favors.

We had so much fun putting this shower together. Yes, it was a little crazy as each of us are pretty busy right now, but it came together perfectly in the end. I love this group of girls - they have become such sweet friends to me and they were great to do this event with! I am so sad, but we didn't get a group picture of the hostesses with Ashley. Everything just happened so fast, and we were all a little tired from the fun slumber party we had the night before. :) So this is the best I can do for a group picture - clockwise - Ashley, Angie, me and Jenn. Sheila, Ashley's SheShe Made business partner, also helped hostess, but I didn't get a single picture of her! Serious failure on my part. 

Jenn made this fun wreath based on this idea via Pinterest.
Sheila made several cute tie onesies for a clothesline, and we hung some of them over the food table, and the others over another window in the main area. It was really hard to get a picture of all of these because of the back lighting in the room. These pictures don't do it justice at all - they were super cute!

We had SO much yummy food! I seriously get hungry looking at these pictures.
Ashley's mom was kind enough to help out with the food, and made some amazing pimento cheese sandwiches, as well as a few dips and hawaiian rollups...delicious!! Angie made cucumber & cream cheese sandwiches...seriously? Best things, ever! She posted the recipe on her blog, so be sure to check it out here. They are so good and simple to make!
I saw the idea on Pinterest for miniature fruit pizzas, and I thought it'd be fun to make a miniature fruit pizza bar, where people could build their own fruit pizza. For the frosting, we just mixed a jar of Jet Puffed Marshmallow Cream and a block of cream cheese. It's simple and so good! I've also made these before using this recipe for the frosting. Oh and for the sugar cookies, we just used a roll of Pillsbury cookie dough. :) These were a hit! Nevermind the fact that I may or may not have been the reason they were nearly gone.
We had plenty of delicious sweets! Jenn's friend Molly is THE best cookie maker. EVER. She made a few different designs - ties, Judd's monogram, a polka dot onesie, and a mustache. Not only were they adorable, but they are seriously the best sugar cookie I've ever had. And trust me - I've had my fair share of sugar cookies. If you are in the DFW area and ever need cookies, she's the person for the job! Her email address is welovetheperfectparty at gmail.com if you'd like to contact her.
We served cucumber & blueberry water, sweet tea, and punch to drink. They were all SO good! I cut a few mustaches on my cricut, then we just taped them to straws. I also cut some mustaches on vinyl to stick to the cups for a fun touch.
For favors, Molly made some mustache cookies, and I made this sign based on some posters I'd seen on Pinterest. Made us laugh - ha! :) 

Well I think that covers everything. It was such a great time and now we just wait for sweet baby Judd to arrive! We're so excited for you Ashley! :)
