If you have been following along, you will notice three DIY’s in this post that we have previously shared: 1. Owl Invitations, 2. Owl Menu Tags, and 3. Music Name Bunting. Annabelle’s mom plans to put up an owl wall decal in her nursery, so we thought we would use that theme for the shower. It turned out pretty cute.

DIY: Music Name Bunting
I love bunting for parties because it is allows for creativity with your theme. Whatever your theme/colors may be, you can almost always figure out a way to incorporate that into bunting. For more SIL’s baby shower, I used materials from the Menu Tags to create this unique Name Bunting.
Supplies:
- Colorful paper
- Hymn or book pages
- Paper cutter
- Stamp & ink pad
- Glue
- Twine (not shown)
- Hole punch (not shown)
- Sharpie (not shown)
Cut the hymn/book page to the desired shape and size. Stamp and draw letter on the paper. 
Glue hymn/book page to colorful paper and cut out (I make straighter lines with the paper cutter, but scissors are certainly an option, as well!). 
Punch two holes at the top of the bunting. Pull twine through. 
End result: a simple, colorful and theme-oriented party bunting!
Little Mister Baby Shower
The Social Graces family is happy to announce that we will have a new addition this month. Becca is having a little boy and her cousin (in-law), Melissa, hosted a beautiful shower for her over the weekend. Congratulations, Becca! We can’t wait to meet him.

DIY: Owl Shower Invites
I love paper invitations. I love sending mail. I love receiving mail. I think an invitation can set the tone for a whole party, shower or wedding. There are so many beautiful invitation companies out there right now. However, invitations can put a nice dent in a party budget. Sometimes thats hard for me to swallow since they are going to eventually end up in the recycling bin. So, recently I created a pretty inexpensive shower invite for my sister-in-law’s baby shower. For the cost, I was quite pleased with the results.
Let me break it down for you:
- 50- 5×7 notecards/envelopes from Hobby Lobby – $9.99
- Design – free
- Printing – free (used home printer)
- Yarn from Hobby Lobby – $4.99
- Stamps – $22.50
Total cost: $37.48 or $0.74/invite
I simply printed the design until the notecards, tied the yarn around the top and was done!

Baby: Simple Diaper Shower
Here’s to Mrs Lindsay! We wanted to pamper her with a very simple diaper shower for the mere fact she has bought diapers for the past 6 years straight. This is her second pregnancy but she has two beautiful adopted girls which makes this her fourth baby in diapers.
We wish you the best of luck Linds!

Baby Shower: Melody Rose
What a fun night to celebrate Miss Melody Rose. Lauren and Jake (the proud parents) don’t always like to be the center of attention. So we planned a laid back environment with just a few details to make their night special. Can’t wait to meet the sweet little girl.
DIY: Wood Sign
For the rustic pink baby shower featured on Monday we made a pretty little sign to use as decoration. Now, the sign resides in Miss Willow’s nursery. It’s super easy and adds a nice personal touch.
Here is what you need:
scrap wood
spray paint
small sticks
hot glue (not pictured)
Instructions:
1) Paint wood panel with color of choice, depending on color you use, will depend on how many coats you will need.
2) After the paint has fully dried, arrange the sticks on the board in the desired order.
3) Start gluing.
Enjoy!
Baby Shower: Pink Rustic
Such a fun shower for a baby who will grow up living in the woods and hunt deer her whole life. I wanted the shower to be rustic of course to go with the decor of the host home but I also wanted to throw a little pink in there since Miss Willow is in fact a girl. We had such a great time eating dinner, playing ridiculous games and munching on tasty treats. 
Shower: Baby Billman
Here’s a peak at a sweet little shower we helped put together for baby Aiden (who was just born a few days ago!). Thank you to Kathryn, for the gig, and congratulations to the Billman family on their new addition!
Shower: Baby Sickler
I had the absolute privilege of helping host my sweet friend from College, who currently lives in LA, Brooke’s baby shower. We kept it simple with no games since she hasn’t seen most of the guest for 2 years. She wanted to mingle and get as much face time as she could with all her friends. We had a lot of food (there was about 5 or more pregnant ladies there who were eating for two) a fabulous cake done by her friend, Barbie and lots and lots of laughs. We threw a “giftcard” shower since she would be flying back to LA and even though that sounds sad to not open gifts, her friends were sweet and creative with cards. I’m sure if she read them all there, she would’ve been a crying mess.
Congrats Brooke! Can’t wait to see your baby girl in November!
