• Throw a Simple + Thoughtful Baby Shower!

    April 8th, 2015

    Spring is a season full of celebrations & showers…from babies and birthdays to weddings and graduations, there is always a party right around the corner! Hosting a baby shower?! You’re in luck- We’ve handpicked our favorite pieces for an easy (gender-neutral!) spring baby shower. Inspired by the changing landscape, go with a natural color palette full of greens and neutrals + bright accents of gold! Shop our picks below…

    * Here at EOH, we believe the invitation is the perfect place to start! Set a tone for the event’s style & give guests a clue of what’s to come (from the minute they open their mailbox!). We got inspired by this spring green invite that features a modern dot background paired with a darling floral garland illustration. After we picked out this pretty paper, we knew we wanted to move in the direction of simple + modern, yet thoughtful + cute. Emily O. Holmes Custom Lovelies has a large line of ready-to-order baby shower invitations!

    * We love this gorgeous gold (yet grown-up!) menagerie by Dwell Studio. It can double as a centerpiece at the party and nursery decor after the fact.

    * Let guests know the celebration has begun with these (absolutely adorable!) confetti push-pops from Thimblepress. We loved this metallic look, but they make a variety of color selections (…even blue & pink for a gender reveal party!).

    * Bring all this gorgeous green inside with a classic boxwood wreath like this affordable option by Smith & Hawken. Attach the first letter of the new baby’s name and hang over a mirror…or lay flat as a centerpiece and fill with cream & gold candles.

    * We adore this vintage-style letter banner you can use to spell out the baby’s future name! (Keeping the baby’s name a secret?! Use their last name instead & spell out “Baby ___”) Send this home with the mama-to-be as a gift to be used in the nursery later.

    * How perfectly playful are these metallic gold party hats?! Add an element of fun by placing these hats in the center of each dinner plate or stringing them about the space…(or let any of the children present don this celebratory crown!).

    *  Food doesn’t have to be fancy to feel elegant…Host a wine + cheese shower! Pile this chic wood + marble cheese board high with fruits, nuts, meats, and cheeses for a sophisticated (& super easy) party snack.

    * Echo the confetti push-pops with these happy dotted napkins. The scattered gold spots add a touch of whimsy while the thick cream cotton feels refined. Plus, these would be a great set to add to your linen collection!

    * Finish off the table decor with these scalloped heart coasters at each place setting. The sweet heart is a thoughtful touch as you celebrate the new little love coming into the world!
