Kari Ann's Little Man Shower

Yesterday, I hosted a shower for my bestie. I forget how much goes into a party every time I do one, but I remembered this morning when my back was killing me LOL. This one was special and I knew it had to be a blow-out! Props to my MIL for lending me the punch bowl that her grandmother bought her mother for their wedding present, and that my MIL used for her wedding. Yeah, it's that awesome. She made the punch, too, which if you follow that link, it will take you to the recipe. The cake came from Ashlie Williams. It was so fabulous. Thanks, Ash. The majority of the decorations came from Oriental Trading Co. The table cloths came from The Dollar Tree. You know as well as I do that you go in there looking for 10 table cloths of the same color and you might get them and you might not. Order from their website. There's a 4/item limit on most things. The plastic punch cups came from there, too. I couldn't find cup cake toppers that I wanted, so I created some with Paint Shop Pro and printed them myself. Some glue dots & tooth pics, voila! Custom cupcake toppers. The corsage was easy to make with three coordinating ribbon, and ribbon made with mustache duct tape. And now, here's something I think you'll all enjoy!
