Garden babyshower

A couple of weekends ago I had the pleasure of hosting a babyshower for one of my dear friends. It was a garden themed babyshower Pinterest style with pink, yellow, and green as the main colors.
We had a bib making station with a clothesline that said BABY on construction paper onesies.
Pink lemonade and water and an ice cream bar with multiple toppings: Oreo crumbles, cherries, granola, whipped cream, chocolate syrup, carmel, sprinkles, Etc! and a salad for the healthy types actually more people ate the salad!
The prize bags spelled out baby girl. I bought plastic tumbler cups from the dollar tree and filled them with nail polish and manicure sets. I also bought towels, potholders, mixing bowls, and cookie packets and made a towel cake out of them for bigger prizes. Another prize was a tin with popcorn, hot chocolate and mugs. All the prizes turned out really cute!
This is where we opened presents under the its a girl banner. 
We did a mailing address raffle.
As well as a diaper raffle.

I also took a scrapbook and turned it into a book full of abc pages for people to color and leave notes for baby on. We wrote messages on diapers for mom and dads late night diaper changes too.
These flowers were made out of pom poms and streamers for each pillar in the room.
This is what the ice cream bar looked like before the food was put out. I used clothespins and black paper with white crayon for a mini chalkboard look.
Over the table there was a banner that said "something wonderful is growing."
These were the favors. I bought pots at the dollar tree and put a grass filler in them with a soil pod and a packet of seeds. Then I glued a poem on a Popsicle stick to thank people for celebrating the day with mom to be. We played a pass the gift game, what's in your cellphone, and a daddy knows best game where guests had to guess dads answers to some questions. Everything looked great and we had a lot of fun!
