Pinwheels & Pom Poms

Although I’ve thrown my fair share of parties, from birthdays to bachelorettes, I must confess that I’m a baby shower virgin. Now I suddenly find myself with no less than three close friends with babies on the way, and I’m dying with excitement to host celebrations for their new bundles of joy! Which is why I felt like I’d struck gold when I stumbled upon this beyond-lovely shower featured on Hostess with the Mostess. The hostesses creatively themed the fete around pinwheels & tissue paper pom poms, all in a gender-neutral color palette of green, blue, & yellow.

Aren’t these 3-dimensional invitations to-die-for? Since the party was small, the hostesses were able to do something super special to announce the theme for the entire party. Darling homemade jars of sugar scrub awaited guests as favors with a clever tag that read, “From our shower to yours!”

Striped straws & tiny pinwheels on cupcakes added whimsy to the brunch buffet. Tissue paper pom poms from pomlove floated overhead.

Since the baby’s gender was a mystery, it was dubbed “little peanut,” and this tagline adorned the invites and festive banner hung over the entryway. What a creative party, and lucky for us the hostesses have shared a simple DIY pinwheel tutorial over at Style Me Pretty. Click here for the download!
