Baby Showers

A Bold Baby Shower Inspired by Breakfast at Tiffany's

"When you have a gorgeous and glamorous friend named Tiffany who just so happens to be expecting a baby boy, hosting a 'Breakfast With Tiffany' baby shower is a no-brainer," says Jen Carver, the party guru behind Banner Events.

"When you have a gorgeous and glamorous friend named Tiffany who just so happens to be expecting a baby boy, hosting a 'Breakfast With Tiffany' baby shower is a no-brainer," says Jen Carver, the party guru behind Banner Events. "My friend Vivian and I wanted to create a pretty breakfast setting with pops of glitz and glamour."

To make her vision come to life, Jenn recruited some of the best party minds in the business, including one of our favorite printable designers, Anders Ruff, and 4 Kids Cakes, which provided a beautiful, totally impressive flower-box-esque creation. An incredible breakfast-food buffet (mini pancakes and parfaits and a powdered-doughnut tower were just some of the highlights), a cute diaper cake, and so much more made this one of the most detail-filled showers we've ever seen (and we think Audrey would approve!).

Bright and Bunny! A Modern, Festive Easter Party

We haven't met an Anders Ruff event we didn't love, and this bold Easter party is no exception.

We haven't met an Anders Ruff event we didn't love, and this bold Easter party is no exception. Full of awesome decor, supercute carrot-, bunny-, and chick-topped desserts, and one egg-cellent chandelier hanging over a dreamy table, this party only has one flaw: we weren't invited! But lucky for you, you can re-create this modern bash with Anders Ruff's new printables. "We designed the collection in classic pastel colors with hues of gold incorporated, since we are loving the metallics-mixed-with-pastel trend," says Maureen Anders of the pastel Easter printables, which include "classic Easter silhouettes mixed with a basket-weave pattern, wavy line pattern, polka dots, and stripes."

Mustache Love! A Hip, Heart-Filled Valentine's Day Party

Anders Ruff has never met a holiday it couldn't turn into an adorable soiree, and this Valentine's Day Mr. & Miss Mustache Party is no exception.

Anders Ruff has never met a holiday it couldn't turn into an adorable soiree, and this Valentine's Day Mr. & Miss Mustache Party is no exception. "We all know the mustache trend is in full force right now — for both boys and girls!" says Maureen Anders. "Go into any toddler, tween, or teeny bopper store, and you'll find a mustache or two on the clothes and decor. We decided to create a collection that was perfect for both boys and girls."

The printable party collection comes in two colorways to please both genders and includes tons of creative designs (mystery valentine message decoders and "wet your whiskers" drink wraps) and some hilarious word plays on the theme. "Sweets for your candy 'stache" chocolate-bar wrappers and bag toppers that say "you 'must' enjoy some now and 'stache some for later" are just two of our favorites.

Emily Maynard has had a busy year, starring as The Bachelorette and getting engaged to her final suitor, Jef Holm, but the supermom didn't let her suddenly extremely public persona stop her from throwing an incredible birthday bash at home for her daughter, Ricki. The talented gals of Anders Ruff got together with Emily to create a creative, sweet glamping (that's glam-camping for those of you who haven't caught on to the trend yet) party, which was beautifully captured by Becca Bond. Complete with a gorgeous cake and on-theme sweets (the individual trail-mix containers and take-home s'mores are just two of many standout components), girlie paper goods from Anders Ruff's printable collection, and lots of stylish details (including, of course, an awesome tent), Ricki's party is positively lovely — and nope, there wasn't a rose in sight.
