Baby Shower Theme: "Bun in the Oven"

     The fabulous ladies of Posh Paperie put together the cutest Baby Shower with the "Bun  in the Oven" theme!  They even had a "Bundt Bar" for dessert, and the favors were homemade Cinnamon Buns.  Check out the full post, here.

A "Hollywood Glam" Themed Quinceanera

     We've been LLLoving hot pink and red together, and thought it would be a fun twist on the traditional Hollywood Glam "red and black" color palette.  Take a cue from Confetti System and make some tissue paper tassel garlands and a Quartz Pinata!

Bridal Shower Theme: "Date Night"

     One of our readers asked us for some ideas for a "Date Night" themed bridal shower.  First of all, we LLLove this idea!  It's especially great for a couple that already has a stocked home and kitchen.  For gifts, give the bride-to-be things she can use for date nights (i.e. a picnic basket, a fondue set, a membership to a wine of the month club, etc.), or date nights themselves (i.e. a kayaking gift certificate, movie tickets, concert tickets, a cooking class, etc.).

     Set up your backyard for a dinner and a movie night with your closest girlfriends.  Have the food be the same style food as the bride and groom had on their first date (i.e. mexican or italian).  Have the bride's favorite movie playing in the background when she opens gifts, and for dessert, set up a concessions stand stocked with yummy treats!

The Gift: Treat the bride and groom to be with a picnic basket with all the fixings and a list of the nearest parks to there home!  

The Game: Other than traditional bridal shower games, have each guest write down their favorite date idea and put it in a bowl.  Another cute game is "Pin the Heart on the Groom" (similar to "Pin the Tail on the Donkey").  Have a life size picture of the groom printed and taped on a wall, and have each girl write their name on a paper heart with double sided tape on the back.  Then blindfold the guest, spin them around a few times and have them "Pin the Heart on the Groom."  Whoever gets closest to the grooms actual heart, wins a prize!

The Favor:  The lovely ladies of Pop-Gram Kettle Corn make the cutest popcorn favors!

Happy Party Planning!

LLLove,
