We utilized her nursery colors of navy and green and aimed for bright and fun with a touch of manly.
When designing the invite, I liked the idea of using the ever-so-trendy chevron pattern, but I feared its girlish nature might overpower the boyish feel I was going for.
So I incorporated the stache to get the combo of yin and yang I desired.
A Little Man Mustache themed baby shower
We wanted to keep things simple, yet cohesive, so we served sweet treats only and incorporated the invite design throughout.
The spread included:
Mini Fruit pizzas (sugar cookies + cream cheese frosting + fruit = easy peasy)
Blondies (box mix from Trader Joe's topped with their Cookie Butter. To. Die. For)
Rice Krispie Treats topped with blue sprinkles
Cake Balls
Cupcakes with Buttercream Frosting
The blue punch was a hit. Guests were raving about the Blue Raspberry Punch.
So they asked, and we embarrassingly told them what it was.
1 2-Liter of Sprite
1 pkg. of Blue Raspberry Kool-Aid (Or flavor of your choice)
Ice, as desired
I'm not kidding...it's that easy. Everyone can drink the Kool-Aid.
Mason Jars, Wal-Mart
Green Paper Straws, Amazon
Cut-Out Mustaches were printed on cardstock, cut out and hot glued to each straw
We used the family last name, "Baby Casey" for the banner and cupcake toppers, and also included the invite tagline of "a little man is on the way" for some additional cupcake toppers.
Cupcake Toppers were printed on cardstock, cut out and hot glued to toothpicks.
Onesies that matched the theme colors hung on the fireplace and added a few mementos for the mom-to-be to take home. A skull and cross bones onesie was a must.
Baby Casey won't be a Chi Omega, but he might date one:). We like to start the brainwashing early!
Just like these little handsome men. They've already heard all about it.

Gifts were light as this out-of-town mama had to fly back to San Antonio! Hope you enjoyed gift cards, books and knick knacks Megan:).
A great shower surrounded by great friends!
