Weekend Shower

This weekend I went to a baby shower for a very close friend.  It was a beautiful event and I had a wonderful time.  I haven't been to a baby shower in a few years, and I have to say, the activities were so thoughtful and touching so I wanted to share.

First, we were all asked to bring the baby a book.  This may not be a new idea, but it is a lovely one.  When baby comes, Mom will have a small library of favorites to read.

 

Each place setting had a small piece of baby outfit shaped paper so everyone could write a personal message to Baby and Mom.  

Once the note was written, it was hung on a small "clothesline" which was hanging on the wall.  I thought this was just too adorable!

Each guest was also given a piece of paper that had a bunch of unfinished wish statements for baby.   Example:  I hope that you will grow ______________. 

I thought these little activities were so thoughtful and touching.  Meaningful messages and notes from loved ones.  Little treasures to be kept forever.

And yes, of course I made Mom-to-be some handmade goodness.  Along with a bunch of bibs, wipes cases, burpies and onesies, I made a lovely diaper bag using the Large Mail Sack pattern from Pink Chalk Studio (with a custom interior of course).

What a fun weekend!  I hope you had a great one as well.
