Easy Being Green Baby Shower

No, not the environmental kind, the color!
GreenParty5
A second baby generally goes uncelebrated - at least as far as showers are concerned - but I felt making a whole new human being warranted some happy occassion, no? So I invited just close friends and put up the party gear.

I usually go all out for these occassions but this was a lot more low key. So I picked a color (the easiest way to make any party look cohesive if you ask me) and got to work. I purchased paper laterns and other green things to hang from every available surface.

And I couldn't have a party without some small quirky detail. I added little glittered paper glasses in the same style as the guest of honor to some of the "ladies" of the house.

I worked the green into whatever I could. Green apples? Check. Green drink bottles? Check. Green sanding sugar on cupcakes? Check.

The sun even peaked out a few times to make the day more festive!

  12. Love those glasses and love what you did with the bust in the birdcage... I recently found a great little wire birdcage that was a total steal and have been looking for great ways to use it! As always you have the best idea I've seen so far!

  17. What a fabulous party theme. The chartreuse green is so fresh. Perfect for spring.

    The paper lanterns are great covering your pendant lights. I might have to make a trip to Pearl River Mart and see if I can find some in that color!

  18. Lindsay: The brass twig bowl thing came from the Pottery Barn outlet.

    Mojito: The laterns came from Pearl River Mart in Soho. They were a few dollars each and come in a billion colors.

  28. How fun! What a quick and cute little shower for baby number 2 - I've always felt sorry for the second child, they only get hand-me-downs and no party! All babies should get a party...

  29. Love it! And loved that you put the paper lanterns over the bulbs in your kitchen's pendant lights.

  31. Green is my favorite color so I am loving this. The glasses, priceless.

  32. One color for a party - great idea... So simple but I am sure very cost effective and fun to put together. My friends have been bothering me to host a house warming party (more than one year after moving in ha) and I could just pick a color and make the party look cute, rather than a specific theme. THANK YOU for the great idea!

  33. You are so funky. I love it.

    I want to have a 2nd baby just so you can throw me a shower, please? = )

    Seriously Stefanie - you could give Martha a run for her money!!! This looks so fab, I'm sure the mama-to-be was just thrilled to be showered like that. My fave touches are the paper lanterns on the pendants (clever!) and the glittered glasses on all the ladies (super cute). Way to go!!

    I can't help but notice the beautiful and scrumptious-looking tri-color cake in the background of the first photo? Mind sharing the details (what is is, where it's from, how delicious it was on a scale of 1-10)? :)

  52. I love this low key look and what a refreshing change for a Baby Shower. You and I must think alike...I always think simplicity is key to understated elegance. You certainly achieved that here.
    Lovely, just lovely!
