Baby Shower Decor

Michelle Ordever — Thu, 06 Sep 2012 07:25:00 +0000

Guess the Date/Weight of Baby

Michelle Ordever — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 19:02:00 +0000

I guess more of an activity than a game? But you I couldn’t host my sister’s Pink Flavoured Baby Shower without guests guessing the due date and weight of the baby! I created a sign to sit next to the answer sheets (that I also co-ordinated with all the other party stuff) for everyone to […]

Nappy Babies & New Baby Gift Set

Michelle Ordever — Wed, 05 Sep 2012 13:34:00 +0000

I saw the cutest little idea whilst browsing Pinterest of diaper babies. We call them nappies in the UK, so I took it upon myself to made half a dozen Nappy Babies, and then bundle them up with other new baby goodies to make a gift basket for my sister and brother-in-law who are expecting […]

Cutlery & Napkin Bundles

Michelle Ordever — Mon, 03 Sep 2012 12:10:00 +0000

Often, throughout my trawls the internet, I see this cute stuff called washi tape. I’ve never heard of it before, but soon learned that it is a fabric tape that you can use to decorate all sorts of things. I searched on eBay thinking I probably wouldn’t find it in the UK – but I […]

I bought some baby vests a while ago, knowing that I wanted to use them to decorate with at the Pink Flavoured Baby Shower that I hosted for my sister and brother-in-law. I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do with them, so they sat in a bag for a while before I […]

Pink Flavoured Lemonade

Michelle Ordever — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:58:00 +0000

Can’t have a Pink Flavoured Baby Shower without lots of pink foods and drink! One of the drinks I served at this party was Pink Flavoured Lemonade…it was just bottles of fizzy pink lemonade that I decanted into my drinks dispenser, adding ice, sliced strawberries and lemons…but it looked so pretty, and the fruit added […]

Pink Encrusted Marshmallow Pops

Michelle Ordever — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 14:28:00 +0000

I love cake pops, they’re so cute! But I find them quite frustrating to make! I can never get them looking as nice as I plan to in my head and so, instead, resort to marshmallow pops. They are super easy to make, super tasty and these Pink Encrusted Marshmallow Pops went down well at […]

Michelle Ordever — Thu, 30 Aug 2012 13:07:00 +0000

My pregnant sister is a funny girl, and often says that it’s time for snickety-snacks, so for her Pink Flavoured Baby Shower I made some Folded Nappy Napkin Snack Holders which I used to hold chocolate chip cookies, as well as a variety of snickety-snacks, in the form of crisps and peanut puffs! I thought the peanut […]

I hosted a Pink Flavoured Baby Shower for my sister and brother-in-law last week and decorated some Mini Milk Bottles as well as making some Folded Nappy Napkin Snack Holders.
