Callie sent me this adorable baby shower she threw for her sister-in-law, Carol. The theme was "The Sweetest Thing" because of the mother-to-be's major sweet tooth. Carol had a baby boy, so Callie went with an aqua blue and sea green color palette.Callie is a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Minneapolis and she and I "met" via Twitter and my blog. I was thrilled when she submitted this adorable shower. I love how sweet and simply stated it is, great job Callie!
You can never go wrong with lovely little macarons on a dessert table
Aqua blue punch****Update based on getting soooo many emails wanting this punch recipe. I reached out to Callie, who hosted this party and this is what she said, "I actually just used a blue punch from the grocery store and added lemonade :) It was yummy!"
Homemade cupcakes
Callie painted Paper Source letters that spelled Rayne (the baby's name) in aqua blue and displayed them along with tons of sweets on a crisp white table cloth.
Prizes were dry cookie ingredients in jars and "The Sweetest Thing" directions attached.Thanks so much for sharing this shower, Callie!

I LOVE the bloody Mary bar on Sundays. It is the perfect place to catch a Vikings game as well. They always have drink and food specials during the game.
Thanks for all the entries!
What a sweet party! I love the cookies in a jar!

Thanks you, Cathy
The celebration of baby shower is a time of great joy for all the family of the pregnant woman and unborn child, and to make this celebration a success must be planned in advance by the best friend of the mother or herself.

ReplyDeleteI was wondering the samething. How much of everything? Did you get the answer?
DeleteI'm wondering how much lemonade too.
ReplyDeleteI would like to know how much the ratio of punch to lemonade is as well. This is the color of my daughter's wedding and sounds like a very simple punch. email eharrington@ruraltel.net
ReplyDeletewhere did she get the sour gummy baby candy?
ReplyDeleteSeems like we won't be getting this recipe. Sure looks like it would be really good. Certainly would like the recipe.
ReplyDeletePlease see the update I wrote under the photo of the blue punch. Unfortunately, I don't have the exact ratio or recipe, all I know I have written above. I did inquire with the woman that hosted the shower and she was unable to give me specifics. I would recommend purchasing blue hawaiin punch, or any blue punch, lemonade and mixing it with a 50/50 ratio. Taste and add lemonade if you want a more tart punch.
ReplyDeleteAdd Vodka.
ReplyDeleteHI! I am wondering about the mint recipe. I love the shoes, bottles, etc. Thanks! My e-mail address is jenny.anderson@kmtel.com.

ReplyDeleteThe punch recipe seems to be the repeating excitement. BUT i would love to know where that serving piece(with the punch in it) came from! I love it!! Seriously!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure where the drink dispenser is from (I didn't host the party, it was sent to me by a reader). I own a couple drink dispensers and my favorite one is a glass one from Target. Crate and Barrel also carries nice ones. Good luck!
