A girly, glittery backyard baby shower
We love a good backyard party around here so we jumped on this girly, sparkly backyard baby shower Carissa and Jesi designed for their friend Ashley Rose. Karrie from Posh Paperie actually came up with the theme based on baby girl inspiration Ashley was pinning to her baby girl board on Pinterest. They settled on blush and gold for colors and went wild from there.
Glittered dinosaurs! Gold washi tape! Extra big balloons!
Love the idea of dressing up bamboo utensils with polka-dot washi tape.
Jesi made the sequin backdrop and Melody killed it with the desserts. Sooo many cute nibbles.
Love Ashley’s festive maternity style.
You could easily get big balloons, polka dot straws, and disposable wooden utensils from Shop Sweet Lulu and washi tape from Cute Tape if you’re into this look for an upcoming party.
Thanks for sharing ladies. Congratulations Ashley and welcome baby Parker!

Beautiful theme and colors. What is on the end of the straws in the ball glass jars? Is it edible glitter? I love the gold and pink colors!!!
