Last week we wrote about how a big brother t shirt helped our blogger momtributor Noelle’s son welcome his new baby sister and this week we’re using her pink, gray, and white baby shower as inspiration for baby shower décor and personalized baby gifts you can utilize.
PARTY DECOR IDEAS
A “cake” made up of two dozen chocolate and vanilla cupcakes is shaped into a pink and white onesie with charcoal gray writing to stay on theme.
Using the baby’s bassinet, a family heirloom decorated with pink and gray ribbon, to hold gifts adds a very personal touch.
Tablecloths, balloons, plates, cups and silverware in a mix of pinks and grays keep it simple, yet cohesive.
PERSONALIZED BABY GIFTS
Babies can go through several onesies in one day alone, so stocking parents up on personalized onesies will be greatly appreciated. (1: Stamped Delight, 2: Crane Monogram, and 3: Graphic Fun personalized onesies)
Personalized growth charts in gray, white and pink hues make beautiful gifts to accent a baby’s room and will be used for years and years. (1: Butterfly Kisses, 2: 1 to 10, and 3: custom color Shooting Star personalized growth charts)
Diaper cakes are always cool, functional gifts and can be made in a variety of shapes and personalized in different ways, like this one which features a decorative “G” shaped box.
