Shower Gifts with a WOW factor

Sticks & Stones

www.createsticksandstones.com uses Alphabet photography to create wall art.

You can select from their assortment of different letters and make framed artwork of your friend's future married name, monogram or new babies name. These would definitely be a WOW factor gift for any shower, especially with Monograms and Names being a big trend/themes for weddings.

A nice update to the tiara, these feather headpieces with jeweled bling are a gorgeous new way to an enhance the elegance of your overall bridal look. These pieces will look beautiful with either a 40's inspired tea-length dress or would be just as versatile with an Eve of Milady ballgown.

Ribbon Save the Dates

Martha Stewart Weddings

Ribbons Save the Dates at the Wedding Window

I wanted to find some new alternatives to the Magnet Save the Date. I came across these adorable ribbon save the dates that can easily be a DIY project. These can also be used as a birth announcement or party invitation. What makes this extra cute is the envelope with the ribbon strung letters that pop out.

Say Cheese!

 

My good friend told me about this website www.pickysticky.com that sells 

stickers that can be applied to baby onesies & tees for some milestone photos. You can take adorable keepsake photos every month of your little one and document when they take there first steps, roll-over or sit-up. These would be such a sweet baby shower gift!

Sweet Centerpiece Ideas

Inspiration is everywhere! While doing some touristy shopping on vacation with my family this weekend in Ocean City, MD, I came across some incredible centerpiece ideas at the Candy Kitchens. They have many locations in OC. I loved the color tins with extra large, polka dot duckies (and elephants) for use as Baby Shower centerpieces. The gift wrap on their packaged chocolates with make for some colorful favors for either Bridal Showers or Baby Showers. The colorful tin pails with bright lollipops could accent a candy station or a centerpiece. They also had citrus colored paper lanterns on the ceiling mixed with paper streamers which created some a fun decor.
