Alice in Wonderland Baby Shower

Pretty Little Things — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 14:25:33 -0800

This summer my best friend had her first baby and we made quite a baby shower to celebrate his arrival!

Her favorite book is Alice in Wonderland which inspired this Alice themed party.

We started with Mad Tea Party Invites.

and combined it with killer details.

Great centerpieces.

Yummy food.

and of course great activities.

I would say it turned out to be a super special occasion!

I wanted to post some pictures to give others ideas as I know when I was planning I scoured the internet for many days in search of pretty things.

I also love all the Sugar sites but am new to posting so I thought this would be a good introductory experience, sorry if I butchered it.

A Blue-Themed Baby Shower for Christina Aguilera

justingirl1989 — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 13:49:18 -0800

Christina Aguilera celebrated her pending motherhood with a baby shower on Saturday at her home in Beverly Hills.

The shower, the first of three planned for the expectant mom, according to a source, was an intimate gathering of close friends and family.

Though the singer has not confirmed the gender of her baby, there was a distinctive theme to the gifts – the color blue.

Among the presents bought from baby boutique Bel Bambini, where the singer set up her registry last month, were a blue Loved Mom Guitar shirt, a Cariboo bassinet with blue dot bedding, Trumpette Johnny's socks – and Sozo Whiz Kid wee block, meant for use when changing a baby boy's diapers.

Aguilera, 26, formally confirmed her pregnancy to Glamour magazine earlier this month, saying she will "enter into mommyhood" next year.

This will be the first child for Aguilera and her husband, music executive Jordan Bratman. The two were married in November 2005.

Kiddie Soirée: Displaying That Baby Face

babysugar — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 14:00:26 -0800

One of the best ways to add some flair to a baby shower or a baby's birthday party is to print out some pictures of the guest of honor and display them. For a baby shower, take baby pictures of the expectant couple and make photo copies of the originals. For a kid's birthday party, find the tot's best shots and do the same.

Use a corner cutter ($9) to soften the edges. If you want to make them a little fancier, double–stick tape to the photos to scalloped circle note cards ($7 for 20 cards).

Then decide how you want to show off the pretty pics. If you have a chandelier, you can punch holes near the top of the pictures and dangle them from the light fixture using ribbons. Or, you can use an Umbra fotofalls ($20) photo holder. Clip the snapshots to it and use it as a centerpiece for your party.

Your guests will ohhh and ahhh at the lil Martha Stewart you've become.

Sienna Miller Talks Babies (She Wants Them!) During Sis's Shower

justingirl1989 — Wed, 30 Apr 2008 09:31:24 -0700

Babies weren't on the agenda for Sienna Miller during her roller-coaster romance with Jude Law, but it looks like motherhood may now be an option with current beau Rhys Ifans.

"I really want bubbies (sic) – I always have," Miller told the June U.K. edition of InStyle magazine during a baby shower for her elder sister Savannah.

"I mean, I'm nearly 27 and you have to think about these things, don't you?" posited Miller. "And Sav proves you can work and be a mum. It still scares me, though."

The expectant Savannah – who already has one son, Moses – held the baby shower in west London, with a rock music soundtrack playing on a vintage 1950s record player. Guests snacked on with multicolored cupcakes, salads and tartlets, all washed down with Earl Grey tea and rosé Champagne.

Although baby showers are still a new concept in Britain, the Millers are more familiar with them than most, having an American father.

During the bash, celebrity hairdresser Nicky Clarke asked Sienna about her Welsh squeeze, scruffy actor Ifans (best known stateside for his role in 1999's Notting Hill).

"[He's] mad as a box of frogs – but I'm not exactly sane," quipped the actress, who is already certain her sister's baby-to-be is a girl.

Although she has the fame, Sienna still claims her sister inherited all the desirable traits. As she told InStyle, "When I was born, Savannah stole the height, the legs, the boobs, the spirituality."

Kiddie Soiree: Making Onesies

babysugar — Fri, 08 Feb 2008 05:00:34 -0800

Always on the hunt for baby shower ideas, I came across one that is sure to be a hit at any babe–to–be soirée.

After the food is eaten and the gifts have been unveiled, bust out your creative hat and show guests how to decorate onesies for the lil one. The quick activity is fun for the participants and the results are priceless. To learn more about this baby shower craft, read more.

You will need the following:

One plain white (or colored) onesie for each party guest.
Wax paper or foil cut up into onesie sized pieces.
Pourable fabric paints.
Bottled fabric paints and fabric pens for detailing.
Plates for the paints (disposable are great because it's an easy clean up.)
Sponges or stamps in the shapes of baby things (i.e. ducks, balloons, dogs, bears, hearts, etc.)
Newspapers or tablecloths to help keep things clean.

Now, let's get this party started:

Cover a table or floor with newspapers.
Place the onesie on the even surface and put a piece of wax paper or foil in the onesie to keep the paint from soaking the backside.
Take a plate and pour your chosen paint colors on the "palette."
Then using a stamp or sponge of your choice, dip the design into the paint and transfer the image to the onesie. Make sure to put enough pressure on the stamp or sponge.
Then, if you so desire, use the nozzled paints or pens to add accents to the creation.

Your guest of honor will be delighted to have a stash of adorable onesies created for her baby by friends and family members.

* Apply this craft to bloomers, diaper clothes, and t–shirts.

Nicole Richie's Oz-Themed Baby Shower

justingirl1989 — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 07:08:15 -0800

Nicole Richie marked another milestone Sunday on her path to motherhood: Her baby shower.

About 90 people attended the Beverly Hills shower, organized by celebrity party planner Mindy Weiss, hosted by Richie's mother Brenda, and thrown by her sister Sophia and friends Paris Hilton and Masha Gordon.

And while Richie has not revealed whether she's having a boy or a girl, some of the gifts offered a clue.

From NoMi boutique in L.A., guests picked up a pair of $50 baby sneakers for a boy, and a $50 Tummy T Jack maternity shirt with a picture of a boy on the front.

Invitations were being hand-delivered Thursday to the event, whose theme was The Wizard of Oz, Richie's favorite.

Richie and boyfriend Joel Madden announced the pregnancy in July. She is due in January.

"They're so excited," says a friend. "They can't wait to meet their little baby."

Madden recently told PEOPLE that the impending arrival is "the most exciting thing that's ever happened to me, and to us."

aww..

Baby Shower Cake

4BYRDS — Wed, 12 Sep 2007 19:31:11 -0700

Baby Shower CakeI made this cake for my friend's baby shower. She was having a little girl. This cake was a lot of fun to make. The hardest thing was getting the buttercream smooth because I didn't want to use fondant. The cake was a butter pecan flavor that I did not like. This is probably my favorite cake so far.

Elephant baby shower cake

ashleycakes — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 14:15:07 -0700

People must really be into these tiny animal models I have been making lately, because EVERYONE is requesting them on their cakes. They're a lot of fun to do though, so I don't mind too much.

Here is a cake I made for a baby shower. It's a french vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream filling and icing and fondant red and black polka dots. Red ribbon and fondant elephant, and a piece of grey fondant for the circle he is sitting on.

The red and black represented the new mother's love for the University of Georgia bulldogs, and the elephant represented the decor of the new baby's room.
