The shower was held in the cul-de-sac of KC's house. I rented barricades and KC ordered "Caution Construction" tape to mark the venue. I made the detour sign using an overhead projector. Each guest signed the back of the sign and it will go in Braxton's nursery.
Crushed oreo as dirt and chocolate rocks. Inside the cake was yellow and black checks! Tasted as good as it looks. We wanted some manly type food so we served Honey BBQ wings, beans, Pigs in a blanket, Potato salad, macaroni salad and tons of veggies. I picked up the orange tool box for $3 at a yard sale the week before the shower- talk about luck!We served the salads out of big Cat trucks and the potato chips out of hard hats I picked up at the dollar store.
Mr. Right's homemade rootbeer was the perfect beverage.
My daughters and I spent 3 nights making over 200 suckers. We used a stop sign shaped sucker mold and made a sign that said, "Thanks for stopping by"
Flavors included watermelon, cinnamon, kiwi strawberry and cherry. Wish I could show you the embarrassing about of gifts little Braxton received and how beautiful my daughter looked- but right when the shower started my camera battery died!!! My luck with cameras- not so good. Our Trashy weekend winner arrives tomorrow morning at 8am so I can't wait to show you all the fun things we do. If you're local we'd love to have you join us for lunch Saturday afternoon 1:00pm at Sassy's Cafe and Bakery 2729 E. Main Street, Mesa 85213. Leave me a comment if you're able to come- we'd love to see you there. Love, Kelly

ReplyDeleteSOOOO cute. And I love the idea of having guests sign the detour sign for his room. How cute. And the name Braxton is precious.
I can't believe that you are opening up the Saturday lunch for us fans/stalkers. :) I'll check with my husband and post back if I can make it.
Hope that it's a great weekend!
Peace,
Edie
That's the most amazing baby shower! You're such a great mom. :)

Apart from the usual baby shower themes like the all-blue extravaganza or superhero themes, that construction zone-inspired shower is truly an all-original and amazing idea. Perhaps the baby will be a hardworking DIY husband when he grows up. =)
ReplyDeleteThis is a good common sense Blog. Very helpful to one who is just finding the resources about this part. It will certainly help educate me.
