I hope this blog can help anyone who is attempting an Eric Carle theme for any party.
We purchased most of our decorations from this website: http://www.eric-carle.com/world.html
The game was great!! It is now my go to game for Baby showers!! You make the matching board with poster board and wrapping paper that matches your theme. Then you come up with 12 words that go with your party (baby shower words: OBGYN, Baby giggles, Epidural etc.) When someone makes a match (two of the same words) They get a candy bar that goes with it ( Epidural=Lifesavers candy) It was such a great game.. we found the idea here.
I purchased the candy here
Food: Pretzels dipped in red colored chocolate with brown chocolate dotted on each one. Strawberries cut in half with chocolate dots. Cherries and Grapes for caterpillars, used toothpick.We also had sandwiches, Veggies, Chips and salsa
We had our cake made by a very talented girl! You can find her FB page here
Outside going up and down the sidewalk were balloons. They were suppose to look like the caterpillar.
Decor by the entrance. We made a cute sign-in, the guests wrote on a note card with advice for the future mom. We also had Eric Carle book marks for them when they left.
Our guest also got into the theme.
This Grouchy ladybug diaper bag was handmade and given to Arielle along with the book!
A cute little outfit!!
Handmade boxes for the nursery!
This shower was so much fun to prepare, almost as much fun as the shower itself. It seemed that everyone loved the theme and loved the shower, I know I did! Everything my sister and I purchased for the party decorations was given to Arielle to decorate her nursery. She will also have a very nice child library for her sweet little one that is due in January! I hope the Munchkin is an Eric Carle lover like we are!
The baby shower was AMAZING!! You guys definitely raised the bar, and everything was just wonderful :) That game was also really fun! I hadn't ever played anything like that before. I'm definitely going to steal it for future reference.
ReplyDeleteI also loved seeing you guys, and I really really appreciate you two going to all this trouble for me and Squirt :) We love you! <3
The best Baby shower I have ever been too! I'm not saying this because you two are my girls. The game and candy were awesome. Great job!
ReplyDeletePretty pleased seeing the DIY wall décor and balloon ideas. Went for a home décor exhibition at one of the huge party venue last month. Bought so many beautiful items. My friend accompanied me to the lovely place. It was a great outing. Looking for more of such fairs to be organized in our city.
