Rachaels Baby Shower
If you can't guess the theme is
Camo
Hunting and Fishing
This is what the invitations looked like
It was just an open house because we invited and expected a lot of family we didn't have as many as we hoped for but it was still a lot fun. All the food was centered around the theme we had Swedish fish, cake balls dipped in green and brown chocolate, I got 2 Costco size bags of m&m's and sorted out the green and the brown ones. We also had these really cute animal cupcakes (refer to collage 2 below) oh and there was chips and salsa and some really yummy meatballs. To drink we just had water but I put some limes in the water because they were green and they went a long with everything. For decorations we had some really cute stuff that we gave to Rachael as baby gifts. I found some really cute camo bibs and put those along with a vase of green flowers and some blocks that said baby on them because Rachael didn't have a name for the baby at the time on the gift table. I along with assistance from my mom made a really cute blanket it was camo print on one side and just the black minx stuff on the other side. There also was a fabulous (if I do say so myself) diaper cake that had some really cute camo shoes on the top of the diaper cake. All in all the shower turned out really well it was a big hit.
These are the cupcakes I did for the shower. I think they turned out pretty cute. The squirrels were made of a regular size cupcake a mini cupcake and a cookie in an "S" shape for the tail. I made about 8 or so of them but they all survive the trip from my house to the church where we had it. Luckily we had a lot of reindeer and fish cupcakes to compensate for them. On the fish cupcakes the actual fish are goldfish crackers and I just used a leaf frosting tip to frost the seaweed on the side. For the reindeer it was just mini twisted pretzels that I broke and used those for the antlers and marshmallows for the eyes and mouth. I wanted the cupcakes to resemble hunting and fishing game and I think they worked out well.
