Got Milk? Baby Shower 2

I realized...finally...that it is OKAY to recycle your own party ideas.  I mean, if you have the decorations and concept, why not, right?

 In this case my friend Megan was having her 2nd baby girl, and felt like she didn't really need any gifts so we settled on a very intimate group of people with some dang cute decor and eats.

I incorporated some of what I had with my original Got Milk? Baby Shower, and then brought in some NEW.   So even when using a lot of what I did before, I made it different enough that it had it's own personality to make each baby shower individually special. 

Oh--I only WISH this was my backyard--but a lovely lady at church let me crash her place for the event.

I brought in a few cute chalkboards to write Got Milk? and placed them throughout the area.

I was recently given this cardboard milk bottle carrier and I couldn't wait for the right opportunity to use it!

I found some vintage individual serving Ice Cream Cups on Etsy and since I didn't want to put ice cream in them that might melt, I placed 2 Oreo's in each cup instead.

I still adore my little vintage milk bottle cap cake banner that I made the first time!  I placed it over some sweet old-fashioned donuts.

Red+white striped straws made for the perfect pop of color.

  Cute gingerbread cookies a guest made!

I blew up some 17 inch white balloons and added white and black fringed streamers to tie to the tables.  Then I threw some Milk Duds and Milky Way candy bars around the table for guests to grab.

Lastly, I set up the fabulous "GOT MILK? Photo Shoot" with a black sheet, glass of milk with a  straw, and a chalkboard to hold with the famous logo.
 Hint:  Use heavy cream or white frosting to make the mustache!

Invites to a "Got Milk?" Baby Shower

I'm putting these up early mainly because I want an entire post directed to the shower itself.  I was up late one night and it came to me... a GOT MILK? baby shower.  I have seen cookies and milk parties, which are really cute, but I wanted to take a different type of spin on it with a mixture of vintage and modern fun with the emphasis on milk...because...isn't that just hysterical?

I had been leaning towards using EVITE invites for awhile because, well, it's super easy online and people tend to RSVP more.  But on the other hand, I felt the need to have something more tangible so she could place it in her baby book.  I haven't done mailed invitations in such a long time, so I really tried to put effort into making them unique.

I found an adorable "baby girl with bottle" print and scanned it in on my computer, then printed it out on these invitations that are made to look like grocery bags.

I searched forever for this baby bottle stamp and I think it added just the right touch.  Although the logo is quite modern, it made it feminine for a baby girl as well.

There is not an exact font made for the GOT MILK logo that I know of, but here is one that is very similar that I used instead.

There now!  It was so fun to make and I am pretty happy with the results!

I mean really, if I got one of these babies in the mail I would be like, "Freak ya, I'm coming!"

haha!
