Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
Over the weekend I was looking through my Facebook and I noticed that a lot of my friends are having babies. This gave me the idea to post some pictures of a baby shower that I planned about six months ago for my sister-in-law. She was having a baby girl so I asked her what theme she wanted and she said she wanted an owl theme. There are so many cute things that you can do with an owl theme and it's not only a great theme for baby showers but can also be used for graduation parties as well as birthdays.
When I initially started planning the shower, I knew that I wanted to do something a little different so I started thinking of things that I could do that would be fun for everyone and decided to incorporate milk and cookies into the theme. We setup a table that had milk bottles with an owl cookie tied around the neck of the bottle, paper straws and a dispenser full of milk that guests could help themselves to. The bottles with the cookies served as the party favors. In case you're wondering, most of the items were purchased from Etsy so if you have a chance to visit these stores, they are all fantastic!

I forgot to take a picture of the milk dispenser
but I purchased mine from Amazon for about $40.

While I was doing research for the party, I came across an idea that someone had posted about Wish Cards. Wish Cards are basically cards that you leave out for guests to write well wishes, words of wisdom or advice to the parents to be. I also bought a photo album for the guests to put their cards in. Not only did the the guests really enjoy this but the parents to be enjoyed reading all the comments as well. Plus they got to take a little keepsake home with them.

I wanted to incorporate the baby's name into the shower as well and I was having a hard time thinking of how to do this. I wanted to tie it to the owl theme so I finally came up with the idea of hanging letters on branches to make it look like her name was hanging from a tree.

Lastly, I wanted to make sure that there was plenty of dessert to go with the milk so I baked red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and ordered a strawberry short cake. Told you I have a sweet tooth!

There you have it, an owl themed baby shower! I hope this gave you lots of ideas that you can use for your owl themed celebration. As always stay beautiful and sweet!
Lots of Love,
