little lamb baby shower: part two

Planning even a "small" party for fewer than 20 people involves a lot of preparation. Plan ahead to prevent a lot of stress right before the event! I started with a sketch book, as always. I pulled images from magazines and the web as inspiration and established the color scheme (green, lime, citron, and yellow, paired with dusty greyish-brown) and the theme (little lamb). {Many of the fab. party photos shown above are from Amy Atlas Events}. I sketched out ideas for the look & feel of the event, the dessert table layout, and the dining area table tops. I even planned which dishes to use and where they would go on the tables.

Most of the details I sketched made it to the final event (including macarons from Paulette, home-made drink flags & cupcake toppers, and a scrapbook binder with letters from guests to the baby).

You may download a printable PDF here to make these cupcake toppers and straw flags for your own party. Just print out on full sheet label paper, trim and stick : ) I also have a sweet one-page questionairre that you can print out, distribute to guests, and then assemble in a binder for the mommy-to-be. You can download the "Dear Little Lamb" PDF here.
