Zebra Baby Boy Shower

I had the honor to host my very first baby shower for one of my good friends, Julie.  She is pregnant with her second little boy.  His name is Luke.  This is also my very first "BOY" party!  It was fun searching for ideas and seeing them come to life!  Thank you to my friend, Liz for capturing these beautiful pics!

The invite was made by my friend, Tricia.  Julie really wanted to have a zebra theme.  We decided to add this type of blue insted of the traditional baby blue.

As guests arrived, they wrote a "wish" for baby Luke or "advice" for the mom-to-be on these zebra circles hanging on the tree.

Next to this tree I set up a table for the gifts.  I made the mini-banner taped on the wall.

Zebra lanterns hanging from the ceiling in the kitchen...

The table was so much fun to put together. I made the centerpiece for it.  I added some votives and glass jars with fresh white roses.

I bought plastic flutes and added a "It's a boy" charm with a blue bow...they looked adorable!

I ordered labels with baby's name and "It's a boy" for the bottled water.

I made the "DRINKS" banner :)

Yummy lemonade made by Kim :)

Blue punch to match the party...ha! :)

Baby carriage purchased at Hobby Lobby.  I used it to put wrapped silverware at the food table...

"BOY" blocks purchased from HERE.

I made the "FOOD" banner as well :)

"CHOCOLATE TREATS" table.  Julie and I decided to have all chocolate desserts including a chocolate fountain....yummy!!!

I bought brown zebra fabric at JoAnne's for the backdrop.  I made this mini-banner "It's A Boy".

I decided to add  the letter "L" on the table for baby's name, Luke.  I painted it brown and added brown glitter on it...super easy and inexpensive :)

I've never made a diaper cake before.  My friend, Lisa, came over and pretty much made it for me :)  I just watched and helped rolling some diapers!  There are 3 custom-made brown zebra burp cloths at the top made by my friend, Valarie at Everything Girly.

I made cake pops for the very first time....NOT fun for me.  I am not a betty crocker....it was harder than I thought!  Bakerella is one of my idols..ha!

I made these yummy oreo truffles.  My friend, April told me about them and they were a hit!.....delish!

Zebra cake, cookies, and cupcakes made by Decadent Delights.  They were to die for...delicious!

Treats for the chocolate fountain :)

Chocolate raisins because they match...ha!

I edited this photo just for fun :)

Baby shower "thank you" favors.  A small jar with chocolate raisins and blue m&m's.  A "thank you for coming to my shower. Luke" sticker on the lid.

And here's my gorgeous friend, Julie.  Doesn't she look beautiful pregnant?
