Real Party: Pink and Yellow 2nd Birthday Party

I'm in the midst of planning two baby showers right now for November - one for my sister and one for a best friend from college, and I think the hardest part so far has been figuring out a theme that matches the personality of each mom-to-be.  I think I've got it all figured out, though!  My friend is having twins and isn't finding out the sex of the babies so I'm doing a navy blue and pink theme.  My sister found out she's having a girl and has a color palette of pastel pink, green and yellow planned for her nursery, so I thought a pastel-y pink and yellow would be a good color combination.

I'm an avid follower of the blog A Blissful Nest, and when she posted about the party she threw for her daughter's 2nd birthday, with a theme of pink and yellow (and butterflies), I knew I had to save it as inspiration... and to show it off to my wonderful readers who may have not seen it already!  This is a great party to draw inspiration from for my sister's pink and yellow shower... however, I'll have to tone the pink down a bit since she's not a fan of bright pink!


How adorable is this dessert table.  I love the fabric and bows for the table cloth!

  3. Hi Cammi, just followed your blog for you - nice to 'meet' you! I found you via a blissful nest facebook page!! It was a lovely party hey? WIshing you all the best in your new career (being self employed is not all it's cracked up to be...) and hoping your etsy store goes well - you have great stuff so it should. For a baby shower, I'm a fan of silly grown-up games like relay race for changing baby (doll) nappies (diapers), how many miniature bibs (or other baby clothes) you can take down from a clothes line using one hand only while holding a baby doll on your hip, 'pin the pacifier on the baby' (like pin the tail on the donkey), handbag (purse) bingo is good too - ie, all the ladies hold their purse on their laps while someone calls out items in a handbag (for maximum effect do a combination of new mum and non-mum items, eg nursing pads, lipstick, compact, business card, soft toy, snack in a tupperware container, pen, mobile phone, squished banana, a photo, tissues/hanky, even feminine hygiene products). If a lady has the item she has to be the 1st to hold that item up in the air and call out 'bingo'. The first lady to have 8 items wins. Hope this helps.
