Vintage Nest Baby Shower

There are so many fun ways to put together a Baby Shower, but this Vintage Nest theme is one of the most unique we have seen! Hosted by a group of truly creative girlfriends, the party for mom-to-be, Kelli and her little girl on the way had a decidedly whimsical flair.

Highlighted by muted, yet lovely pinks, yellows and greens, the décor is truly befitting of the celebration. I absolutely love the NEST letters from Silly Dilly Tot Spot that doubled as decoration and a gift to be placed in the new baby’s nursery, so sweet!

Also on display were delicious cupcakes with monogrammed toppers from MaxEli Designs and delicate doily accents. Guests were also sent home with favors- mason jars filled with ingredients for sugar cookies along with a recipe tag and finished off with vintage fabric ribbon!

All in all, a charming way to celebrate an expectant mommy!
