A Shower for Baby Ruby

Angie Beccue is our Wellness Director at the YMCA where I work, and she is a great boss. This past week, we hosted a sweet baby shower for her and baby Ruby!
Here are the results:

For this shower, I didn't want to do the traditional baby, baby pink and the rattles and baby bottles (which are all fine and cute, but I figured she'd probably have other showers from family and friends that would be using those), so I found this lovely fabric at Hobby Lobby, and used it as my "jumping off point".

I thought it was perfect for a shower with the various shades of pink and accents of yellow, black and orange.

For the table's centerpiece, I used these gorgeous faux florals! The three large pink peonies came from Michael's Craft Store, and the other smaller flowers and greenery came from the flower shop at Real Deals in Jefferson, Ga. We got them at a great deal because the store was closing! (Gotta love a 90% off sale!!!) 

Down the rest of the table, I used hot pink carnations in small bud vases, which matched beautifully with the fabric table runner.

I love the image above! We have multiple potted trees throughout the facility at the Y, and I asked one of our managers to move two of them back to the room where we were going to host the shower. They made the entire space! I used the small hanging glass terrariums that belong to a great co-worker, Emily Young, with carnation buds in some and baby breath in others.

This was the drink table! And as much as I want to take credit for that pretty R, I can't. My mom is the glitter queen!The "R" is made of cardboard and I bought it at Michael's for like 80 cents. I tried to fix it myself, but glitter gives me anxiety! (Hahaha) So my mom fixed this and then I added it to the chalkboard frame. (Good Job Mama! :) ) 

Angie Loved it because it really personalized the shower for her baby!

I fixed this chalkboard sign after I found the cutest little cards on another blog. And I didn't save the name of that blog, and I cannot find it now, but, to that blogger, Thanks! Your cards are super cute!
Here's a Picture of them:

(Sorry for the quality!)

These were so sweet, and Angie said she would be putting them in Baby Ruby's Scrapbook!

All in all, it was great time! Congratulations to Angie and Andrew, and we all can't wait to meet baby Ruby!!!
