Dr. Seuss Baby Shower

Back in November, I had a small baby shower for my sister-in-law, Rachelle (yep, we have the same name).  Rachelle and her husband Jim, decided not to find out the sex of their baby (I told her she was crazy!).  Don't they know that makes it hard on all the people who want to go buy all that super cute baby stuff, geesh!!!  I couldn't think of a cute theme for a unisex shower, then one day (like a week before the shower), Dr. Seuss came to mind!  It was perfect, but it was also very challenging to find stuff to decorate with in a short amount of time.  I had tons of books and that was about it.  I happened to go to the library the week of the party and wouldn't you know it, the kids' book room was decorated in The Cat In The Hat!!!  The Liberian let me borrow everything!!  It was my lucky day!


I used red, light blue and white as my colors.  For this table in the pic and the kitchen table I cut out 3 different sizes of circles out of felt, and spread them down the middle of the tables.


I used my books as props through out the living room and kitchen.




I found this cute little cupcake idea on Kara's Party Ideas.  Since it was Thanksgiving time, I made pumpkin cupcakes with blue cream cheese icing.


This is the Mommy-to-be!


Elliona was my helper for the day and Rachelle's photographer.



I think everything turned out pretty good!  Rachelle lives in PA, so she got to come home and see some friends she hasn't seen in a while, so that was really good!!!
