Ready to POP - Baby Shower

Thank you to Katie Patty for having a beautiful baby boy in your belly so we could throw you this cute shower!
Here it is! I think it turned out great! Shout out to Brittney Lentz who helped me set everything up. Prep for these things seriously take FOREVER! I was preparing for at least 2 weeks in advance and then baking for like 3 days in advance. But it was worth all the hard work. Enjoy the cuteness and don't let your mouth water too much at the delicious food! And it was delicious! 

Desert Table
My favorite part of any shower/party/gathering is the food and my favorite part of food is the dessert. Hence a table full of dessert! We had cake POPS, marshmallow POPS, oreo peanut butter fudge that I pretended were chocolate peanut butter POPs, loliPOPS, caramel POP corn, and bubble gum that goes POP!
My second attempt at cake bites and first attempt at cake pops. John was so sweet and helped me at 10pm to finish dipping these beauties so I could go to bed. Best part, he didn't even complain. Had to give him a shout out for all his help! Love my Johnny!
Ok, so I only did these because they were cheap, cute and matched the theme perfectly. But lets be honest, I didn't really want to eat any but there was a four year old child who L-O-V-E-D them. The leftovers I gave to a friend to take to her primary class the next day. 
Thank you dollar store for having lollipops!


Here is the main food for the shower. We had chicken salad sandwiches that Katie's mom made and fruit POPs, which is just fruit on a skewer. Also thank you SO much to Brittney Lentz again for making that adorable diaper cake. You can't quite see from the picture but it had a bow tie (a real usable one she made), little shoes and a hat on it. Adorable and great decoration to add to the shower!
Party Favors
 This table was my favorite part of the decoration for the shower. Thank you Jeremy Pendleton for getting Tina flowers for mother's day. They were an excellent addition.Thank you Katie for buying the cute plaque that happened to match the shower colors perfectly at the DI.
 Adorable right! Guess how much they cost??? The boxes were 8 for a $1 at the Dollar Store and I made the circle printouts on power point at home then printed them on cardstock. So $3 in total plus the printing and paper of course.
 Just look at that banner! I was so proud of how it turned out! I got the paper at Archivers. Who knew there was SOO much cute paper and options out there! Archivers let you use there di-cut machines when you buy something there so that's how I got the letters. I bought the rectangle paper just like that and used a baby bowl and cup to measure the circles.

Here she is! Mom to be!
 There was a fabulous turnout of family and friends. She got all kinds of adorable clothes, bottles, blankets, other stuff and of course more clothes.

I forgot to take these pictures below until a lot of people had left so this is not everyone who was there.

I made everybody chew bubble gum and then try to blow a bubble and take a picture of it to go along with the Ready to Pop theme. It didn't quite turn out but it was fun trying! Here are the attempts!
LOVE Ashley and Tina in this one. Ash is pointing at Tina's successful bubble now popped!

Thank you to everyone who helped out and who came! It was a great shower with even better people!
