I had the great honor last weekend of throwing a baby shower
for my friend Kristyn. And the theme? Monsters! Kristyn didn't want a set
theme for her baby boy’s room, so she has done an amazing job mixing monsters,
robots, owls, and other cute ideas into his new nursery. I decided to take
one and run with it! Take a look at the photos of her pretty party below.
 |
| This was the start of my planning. I made the poster and went from there. Making up little monsters is so fun! |
 |
| Little monster water bottles with different coordinating colored paper made these little bottles super cute. I drew out these monster circles on Adobe Illustrator, and made five different designs and changed colors. |
 |
| Monsters everywhere! For favors, I made cookies from this Cowgirl Cookie recipe and put them in bags with ribbon and little thank you monsters. |
 |
| I made this banner from some inexpensive, thin fabric I bought at JoAnn's (the table runners in the other photos are also made from this). |
 |
| Food! Cake stands (thanks, Amanda!) were perfect for adding height to the table and displaying garlic parmesan pull-apart bread, veggie cups with dressing in the bottom, coffee cake, and petit fours. Thanks for the help with food and set-up Amanda, Cathy, Mandy, and Shauna! |
 |
| I also added a couple signs to the food that wasn't self-explanatory (see under the garlic parmesan bread). And coordinating plasticware, napkins, and plates! |
 |
| Counter space was used for drinks (that's a punch dispenser) and food overflow. |
 |
| Look how excited the momma to be is! :) |

| Momma and Poppa to be |

HEllo! my friend is also having a little monster themed baby shower and she came across your page and she loved the poster board you made, she wants me to do one for her, so I had a question for you, did you use regular sized cardstock paper to make the monster cut outs? thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Gaby,
DeleteThanks for your message! For the monster cut outs, I ended up using the 12"x12" textured scrapbook paper that they sell at JoAnn Fabrics and other craft stores. I was able to cut out the green monster with the tail in one piece by using that. The back of the poster is just a piece of foam core poster board from the dollar store under a piece of blue poster board from JoAnn's. I hope this helps!
thanks alot :)
