Jennifer's Divas and Diapers Baby Shower

I am so behind on all of this as usual, but I really wanted to share the shower a few friends and I hosted for our friend/family Jennifer. She was having a big traditional shower in her home town, but I wanted to do something here with our friends since it's where her husband ( my cousin) is from. I gathered up our hosts, Noelle, Kacey, Gina, and Laura.

Jennifer is the only woman in Louisiana to hold 3 crowns for the state: Miss Teen Louisiana USA, Miss Louisiana USA, and Miss Louisiana America. All of which she did fantastic in. The best being runner-up in Miss America. Way to go Jen. Anyway, all that being said, I thought it should be glitzy!

From the beginning, I knew I wanted it to be all about diapers because that was one of the most helpful gifts I received when I had my baby shower. The 4-5 months worth of diapers definitely helps new parents. I came up with the invitation first and then with all hostesses on board, we started brain storming about decorations. We knew we wanted white to be our base color since it was all about diapers and naturally we decided on blue since she was having a boy. Easy enough! We didn't do a whole lot of decorating but what we did was precious if I say so myself.

This was the invitation wording: She can show us how to rock a dress or a crown

but soon she'll need our help for when
Hudson comes around.

So let's load her up with diapers galore

to ease her into her "reign" as mommy

forevermore.

"Divas and Diapers" baby shower

honoring Jennifer

any and all things diapers encouraged!!
What "reigning mommy" doesn't have a sash?! Hudson's mommy in blue glitter on a wide white ribbon. The dish towel was the gift for the winner of the celeb baby game we played. Jen won. We had the girls look at pics of celebrity babies labeled with a. - f. and on their card next to the corresponding letter they had to write the name of one of the babies parents. They had alot of fun with it. We had to do 3 sudden death rounds between the mommy-to-be and my sister. The mommy-to-be took home the prize! I usually am not a big fan of games at showers, but I thought this one was cute and fitting.

Did I mention this shower was at night and we served cocktails and mocktails. I found a blue martini recipe online and it was delicious and a hit thanks to bartender Laura.

Noelle did a fabulous job on all the treats she made.

Kacey made yummy and pretty cupcakes.

the decorations were simple. I just bought nuks, bottles, and rattles from a $ store and rolled them in glue then blue glitter. They were just the right amount of glitz.

I decorated the chair with some blue tool to make it a little sassier for her to open presents ,and the mantel is made with circles I cut out of scrapbook paper and letters using a cricuit.

Last but not least the gifts. A bunch of us put in to get her a big bin she could use in the baby's room and filled it with all kinds of our favorite things dealing with diapers and some cute monogrammed things. From cases of different size diapers to disposable changing pads, it was all in there. She got a good bit of diapers and wipes along with some cutsie stuff. We all had a blast and Jennifer was the best preggo guest of honor!
