Our reader Mandy planned this fun Portland baby shower for her sister Jessi, using all sorts of things that Jessi loves. Lightning bolts, pink, gold, hearts: all poppy details that make for a fun girls gathering. Mandy made a bunch of the details herself and said the entire party was truly a labor of love from family and friends. Which is just the way a party celebrating a new mama should be.

Photobooth!

Mandy made the invites herself, complete with a glittered lightning bolt. And those pretty ombre clothespins below.

Love seeing photos of the new mama and papa as babies.

The gold mason jars were actually a DIY from Mandy’s wedding nearly 2 years ago. Props for recycling your projects, M! And if you love them, we actually did a painted mason jar tutorial over on 100 Layer Cake 3 years ago, if you can believe it!

Each guest was asked to share their wishes for baby on a glittered star, to be hung up around the party.

Jessi’s friends made all the delicious and incredibly cute desserts.

Congratulations on the birth of little Lilah June, Jessi!
