Celebrate Celebrate Celebrate > Circus Baby Shower

The future Mrs. 2Wicked has thrown a baby shower for her sister!  Of course we at the Glossy Flossy's had to stick our nose into her business because....  that's what we do!  The inspiration for this party was an animal print fabric that was used in the nursery.  (I would show you a picture but it is 6 in the morning and I don't have one and I'm pretty sure anyone I called to take a picture and send it to me would be irritated with me.)  FM2W picked this cute invitation and we were off to the land of elephants, circus tents and all things circus.  Okay, I admit it FM2W was only off to make one "It's a Boy" banner, but I was off to the other land.  


First up was my other love (ruffled crepe paper is my first love) - accordion pleated paper made into medallions, or fans or rosettes or whatever you want to call them.  I have a serious crush on them.  I also really like them when someone else is folding and pleating the paper.




We made this cute "It's A Boy" banner with elephants and circus tents.  The color is a little off because I took this pic and I'm obviously not a professional photographer or even a very good amateur photographer.

 FM2W was happy and finished but..... I wasn't finished.  Some say it's a sickness or as I heard someone say, "You just can't stop, can you?"  I made mini banners, treat bags, silverware/napkin wrappers that say "BABY", cake stand and Circus entry sign (check out the eeny meeny mini rosettes on the corners of the sign.)  FM2W caught a little of the illness and made the little onesies for guests to leave a message, "Ready to POP" sign for the caramel corn and dug out her hat and gloves as props from when she was the Ringmaster.   Maybe we couldn't stop but look how cute everything turned out.

The food was a delicious.  We mixed up the menu with a Watermelon Feta Salad, Chicken Artichoke Pesto Bundles, Galuptsi (mini cabbage rolls) , Caramel Corn, Mini Cupcakes, Cotton Candy, Cheese Platter, Brownies, Mint Lemonade, and for the favors we had mini bags of frosted animal crackers. Yum!

Next week we will be showing you the animal silhouettes that FM2W and I made for the nursery.
