Vintage Baseball Party

Vintage Baseball Baby Shower

{in case you were wondering, it was a big HIT}

Get it, "hit", as in home run?!

A dear friend of mine is preggo with her second little boy, and it's safe to say that their boy-filled home is a bit crazy about all things sports.

But rather than throw the typical "sports" themed party, Nina {of Momma Go Round} and I decided to spice things up a bit with a vintage inspired theme.

Oooooo, Ahhhhh!

Here is our glorious invitation designed by none other than NINA {mad design skills, I tell ya}.  She even sells these invites for a crazy cheap price in her Etsy shop {along with nearly ALL the other printable decor you'll see at this party}.

BTW: We realized {after the invites had been printed}, that we forgot to include the time. Oooopps! So Nina threw together this filler card, lol.

We used my kitchen table to set up all the typical yummy sweets found at a baseball game {and then some}.

Accented with a "Concessions" banner.

Outside we set up a few little "conversation areas" with baseball themed treats for our guests to snack on.

Gotta have Red Vines, Baby Ruth's Boston Baked Beans and Big Chew at a baseball game, right?!

These puppies make me smile--cupcakes have that effect on me.

Especially cupcakes with homemade frosting and scalloped toppers {also found in Nina's shop}.

 And check out this fabulous baseball diamond shaped fruit platter, designed by the guest of honors Momma! How creative is that?!

Now DON'T look too closely at these janky chocolate Oreo's that are supposed to look like baseballs.

Apparently my pastry design skills are sub par.

Gotta have Cracker Jacks at a game!

And cotton candy, of course!

We served a light lunch, baseball themed of course!

We whipped up these hot dogs and wrapped them in foil, Dodger stadium style. 

We found these adorable mini coke glasses at the dolor store {2 for $1} and knew we HAD to find a way to incorporate them. I cut down the straws to fit in the cups.

 Nina whipped up these water bottle labels for the perfect finishing touch to our beverage table {also available in her shop}.

 We made a banner that said the last name of the baby and then "field".

For added effect, I turned on my patio "mood lighting", lol.

Closer look at the cupcake toppers.

  

I made 3 of these Pom Pom's using this wonderful tutorial from Organize and Decorate Everything.

And that pretty much sums up our fab party!

Like I said, it was a home run!

Party On!

Party Box Birthday Party {off the hook}

I love my readers.

And I especially love how stinkin talented they are.

Take Jessica, for example.

She has a gorgeous blog called

And she recently posted about the Rockin birthday party she threw for her adorable 2 year old daughter named Charlotte {Charli for short}.

Those cheeks and this party, make me want a little girl of my own--BAD!

Super chic, super girly, super awesome!

Get ready to be inspired for you next party.

This flower arrangement is a gorgeous conversation piece, and a totally doable DIY.

These tutu pom poms add such a soft, precious element to the party.

Now that's a birthday banner, if I've ever seen one.

I love how Jessica picked out all the pink and yellow starburst to match her theme.

Pink and yellow never looked so good together.

Are you getting thirsty?

Fruit kabobs. Genius!

Cupcakes on a ribbon lined tiered cake stand.

And then, of course, you've got to have your ultra chic party hats!

{loving that table cloth too}

Jessica wants YOU to be able to throw an awesome party just like this, so she has so kindly included a detailed VENDOR LIST HERE.

+ circus animals + carmel apples + strawberry lemonade + BBQ chicken salad +

homemade cheesecake + Bebe banner

= Best Circus Baby Shower Ever!

I wish I could take credit for this fabulous shower, but I can't.

A few of my favorite gal pals {who are crazy talented} put together this Circus themed shower for a dear friend of ours who is having a itty bitty little boy in a few weeks.

They went ALL out, as you can see!

{Amazing yummy goodness galore}

{Pin wheel, pom pom and popcorn center pieces}

Here is a close up of the totally fabulous Cirque Du Bebe Banner.

I especially love the fringe embellishment.

How cute is this spread?

A cages tiger, nutter butter peanuts to feed the elephant and more.

Check out the straw embellishments made out of scrapbook paper.

Ridiculously delicious {and homemade} cheesecake!

And these cookies were so yummy they may have changed my life forever.

I am going to work on getting the recipe for you.

Keeping with the circus theme, these cupcakes were topped with animal crackers--too cute!

How gourmet and BEAUTIFUL are these appetizers?!

Buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes, basil and balsamic on a skewer

{I am so making these}

Bags of carmel popcorn for guests to take home.

Strawberry, pineapple, limeade goodness.

This is a pic even before all the food arrived, and still so pretty.

I was so impressed with all the decor that I took some of the pieces aside to take pictures for you:

Honestly, the Circus kinda freaks me out. 

But this shower, ohhhh this shower, makes me want to join the circus today!
