We are hosting a Cute as a Button themed baby shower on a budget in a few weeks.  I decided to do one game for the shower that does not require everyone to participate all at once. We are having ladies, husbands and kids at this shower, so not everyone will be able to play along simultaneously. 

I modified this activity from a great one at While Wearing Heels where she created a calendar to guess the date the baby will be born.

I added our theme to the activity by asking the guest to stick a button to the date where they are guessing the date "on the button".  They would then write their name next to their button as well. Here is the set up:


Since our baby shower is on a budget I used leftover buttons from a few other projects I've created for the shower and leftover scrapbook paper.  Then I created calendars for two months because she is due closer to the beginning of November, and you never know she could be early.  I just printed off some simple calendars from Word. I put some buttons for people to stick on in a small flower pot.  Then created the little sign along with it.

Thanks for checking this project out. The winner will get a gift of button candy once the baby is born.  Since everyone lives close by they will get to the winner quickly.

Thanks for stopping by!

Amy and I are throwing a baby shower with the theme of "Cute as a Button" .  We are trying to keep to a budget for decorations, and I wanted to try and use items that I already had around the house. I saw this Melissa and Doug box that my daughter's molding clay accessories had come in.   The best part about this box was that it was covered in a chalkboard paint inside.  

 I used some buttons that I had purchased from Oriental Trading to cover the outside of the box.

 Then I wrote in the center and added some buttons to a few of the letters. I think it will be the perfect addition to this baby shower, and I was able to use the materials I already had available.  I wonder what I can do with all those other Melissa & Doug boxes I have lying around.
Thanks for stopping by!

We have been spoiled... I mean SPOILED by coworkers, friends, and family over the past few weeks! We are expecting our first little one in late July. I am so amazed at the creativity and simply RAD ideas that people around me come up with. Here are just some neat ideas from Baby W's showers:

Waddle on Over to the Duck Pond

Waddle on Over to the Duck Pond Shower Invites from MonogramWedding.com

Gift boxes were provided for guests to fill in with candy and sweets.

The sweets table included candy, cupcakes, and a cake shaped as a  bathtub filled with rubber duckies. 

Rubber duck cake and cupcakes

An adorable duck themed diaper cake

The cooler for the drinks was a baby bathtub from our registry. After the party, they gave the tub to us as a gift. 

Guests played BINGO as the gifts were opened.

This idea is from Abby @ AbbyandAdam.blogspot.com

Guests were asked to write down their gender, weight, height, and date prediction for the new arrival. 


Baby Wilson's Brunch Shower

Brunch Shower Invitation from MonogramWedding.com


Guests were asked to take their name tag from the mirror and guess the arrival date of Baby W by placing it on the calendar. Depending on if they thought Baby W was a boy or a girl, they would use a pink or blue thumbtack. 

Guests names were placed on this mirror for them to grab and place on the calendar.

"Dad to Be" guessed a boy on the expected due date.

Guests were asked to fill in the blanks on a card using descriptive words to describe what they thought about Baby W's arrival. They made great keepsakes for us and will be a lot of fun to look back at once Baby W is here. 

Lisa made tissue puffs that acted as centerpieces for the tables. 

As a favor, guests filled their own goody bags with sweets in the shower colors.

Welcome Baby Hannah Rose

These photos are from a good friend of ours baby shower. Baby Hannah is due just one week before Baby W! 

Favor boxes with a petite four were given out to guests as they left.
**All paper products were also printed by MonogramWedding.com**

The favor boxes were displayed on a tiered platter.
A banner saying "Baby Hannah".
The invite for the shower was framed and used as decoration.  



Guests were asked to help decorate a onesie for baby Hannah.

The onesie acted as a cute guest book that mom and baby can hold onto for years to come.
