little brave man // baby shower

I am thrilled to share MY post for the "Little Brave Man" baby shower for my friend Kelli Trontel. 

It was an honor to have the shower featured on ON TO BABY and I've posted lots of DIY's, 

but I'm excited to share the whole party here now (lots of pics, you've been warned)! 

Jennie and I were trying to go with a semi-modern, arrows, teepees, and feathers theme.

Ashley of Thorn + Sparrow was totally on board and made the cute invites.The party was at Kelli's in-laws and I LOVE their home!Ashley painted cute arrows on reclaimed barn-wood pointing guests in the right direction to the house. 

The guests had simple name tags made with card-stock and washi tape.

The house went so well with the theme of the party!
It was a lovely time to honor Kelli, celebrate this new life, eat food, chat with friends, and just hang out. 

Simple white plates, grey napkins, and painted forks. 

Jennie, my amazing party planner partner made these Caprese Canoes... hehe. 

We used left over invites and made food picks for the sandwiches. 

I also made a color coordinating serving spoon.

The Teepee Trailmix was one of my favorite little details.
We simply mixed trail mix, mint green colored Sixlets, and Bugles. YUM!

Arrows in cupcakes. 

Cheesecake bites. 

Drink station.

Stamped cups (DIY coming soon).

Mum's Flowers provided all flowers for the day and they were AMAZING! 

I'm obsessed with the white "tree" vases. 

I made table runners of triangles to match the invites by simply sewing card-stock in a row.

We asked the guests to write words of wisdom and encouragement to the parents-to-be on feathers and

then hang them on branches. 

In lieu of games (yay!) we decided to make a simple craft for Kelli to use in the babies room. 

Each table was provided a tray with wooden dowels, sharpies, washi tape, paint, feathers, 

and shapes to make... ARROWS!!! 

DIY and finished project coming soon.

Gifts were placed by the teepee. 

Everyone received a sweet print from Thorn + Sparrow as a party favor. 

Ashley, Jennie, Kelli, and I. 

It was a lovely afternoon for our wonderful Kelli!
Can't wait to meet the little brave man!!!
