a baby shower

yesterday i hosted my sister's baby shower and it was great! i was so busy being hostess, i didn't have time to take many photos, but here are a few detail shots- you'll see that the main color was green, and i used a lot of it ::


i set out small glassine bags for guests to fill with green apple flavored candies.


i also printed up little note cards for guests to write a sweet message or piece of baby advice for the first-time parents :: these match the invitations i made for the shower as well. the note cards were then pinned to a bulletin board covered in green gingham fabric.


the little carousel is from the "animal parade" collection by meri-meri, a fabulous little paper goods shop that specializes in themed partyware & stationary {where i also bought the cupcake toppers & baking cups}.
the shower was a huge success and my sister was very happy. and the best part- i'm going to have a little nephew in november! yay! first-time auntie!
