A Blue Elephant Baby Shower

Two weekends ago, my friend Jessica and I co-hosted a baby shower for our friend Becca who is due in just a few weeks! We DIYed the food and decor, which made for a fun and simple celebration.


Menu
Cheeses + Fruit
Veggies + Hummus and Dip
Everything Seed Rolls
Strawberry Cake Pops
Mini Oreo Cheesecakes


We downloaded these elephant tags to make cupcake toppers.



Jessica's mom has a cake pop maker so we tried our hand and making and decorating cake pops! They may not look picture-perfect, but they were delicious.


And since fruit tea is kind of a Nashville thing, we tried this recipe. It was a big hit!


Straws from Hobby Lobby (because they're fun!), as well as the paper plates and napkins above.


The banner was made using scrapbook paper (alphabet and elephant templates found here). And we painted a wooden H and mounted it on a framed piece of scrap piece of fabric for the gift table.


You can't go wrong with chocolate dipped pretzels for favors :). 


Do you enjoy hosting parties and/or showers? 
What tips do you have for keeping things simple?
