Baby Shower for the Books

My beautiful sister is pregnant with twins and I had the pleasure of being one of three co-hosts of her baby shower. I mostly did invites (thanks Tiny Prints!), plus a cute doodle on the onesie activity…

My first diaper cake to promo the diaper raffle…

And the party favor: a Caramel Apple in a Mason Jar Kit...

Inspired by this post from The Gunny Sack and this one from Event Trender,  for the kit I purchased 4 oz canning jars (wide mouthed and regular for variety); cookie pop sticks (the lollipop sticks were too flimsy for apples); Granny Smith apples; wrapped caramels; Heath Bar bits and mini M&Ms; clear plastic treat bags; green ribbon and raffia (I think jute, hemp or any natural ribbon would work).

I then wrote out the instructions and tied them to each gift bag. I was delighted to hear that one guest went straight home and made her caramel apple. She’s 4. But still… success.

This is how they turned out, so pretty for a fall shower (or party). The flowers really made the table pop, such a beautiful arrangement from one of my sister’s friends. He did the flowers and gorgeous decorations for the whole shower.

It was a wonderful shower and the diaper raffle was a huge hit.

Look how many she got!!
