Little Man Baby Shower

My sweet sister Amanda is having her first child next month. So to celebrate, we planned a "Little Man" baby shower.
My mom, sister, and Amanda's close friend Janie and I all worked together on this party. Lots of crafty and foodie helpers!

 Guests were greeted at the door with a choice of bow-ties to wear.


Handmade 'tie' garland with the words "Hello Little Man" was strung across the table. It was a fun twist on traditional bunting.

 The party was held at 2pm, so the menu was light and festive. Bow-tie pasta salad, bow tie 'tuxedo' strawberries, cupcakes, fruit salad, pita chips and humus. I made bow-tie short bread cookies too. 


Tucked among the mustache 'adorned' food were a series of "Bro-Tips". Things that every little man needs to know in life. One of my favorites was "Your jeans should never be tighter than your girlfriend's." Ha!
 

 Guests snacked, talked and took turns in our homemade photo booth. A variety of mustaches cut from black felt and attached to sticks. We used an old frame for the 'booth'. It was quite a hit!





A ribbon clothesline, complete with "Little Man" outfits hung across the room. A cute decor idea that doubles as a gift.



Guests were asked to fill out "Wishes for Baby"- these are such sweet keepsakes for the baby book. You can find the printable form here.


It was such a great, happy shower.


And Amanda received so many lovely gifts and was so touched by everyone who came to support her. Since the birth of my girls, she has been my own personal "Mary Poppins"- practically perfect in every way. I have appreciated the love and care she has always shown my girls. I can't wait to meet her little Wyatt.  I know she and Preston will be amazing parents.

A Tie for Your Lil Guy



My nephew Luke is the cutest lil guy I know. But since he has been born, I have not been able to shower him with handmade gifts because my craftiness usually leads to me bows, tutus etc.

 Afton did try to get a bow on Luke when he was about 6 months old.

So I was thrilled when I finally had an idea. Luke was being baptized and needed something special to wear. And Voila! I made him a 'lil guy tie'.



Since I also made the girls coordinating pillow case dresses, I decided to pull from that fabric for my color inspiration. The neck has velcro closure and the tie is about 10 inches long. Of course his momma styled it perfectly- gap khakis, a white button down and brown loafers.



Maybe this will inspire more 'boy creations'!
