Real Party: Ladybug Baby Shower

August 3, 2010 by Carrie Sellman

If you missed yesterday’s post, I shared some exciting news.  My husband and I are expecting our first child, due in September!  And to welcome our new little girl, my family hosted an adorable baby shower in Houston.  It was such a treat to go back home to Texas and see my family and friends!  And thanks to some very special ladies who were crafting and cooking for days, this pink and brown ladybug shower was just perfect for our new little lady.
Ladybug Baby Shower in Pink & Brown

Guests helped themselves to a candy favor bar with pink and brown M&M’s and taffy. Glass favor jars were topped with ladybugs, of course!

Ladybug Baby Shower in Pink & Brown

There were pink and brown ladybugs everywhere!  From the diaper cake to the name tags, food tags and paper lanterns.  Even the sign outside welcoming the guests.  The menu included spinach dip, tarragon pasta salad, fruit, cheese, chicken wraps and chicken salad sandwiches (my pregnancy craving!).  Drinks included mint iced tea, lemon water and a mango punch.  For sweets, we enjoyed M&M cookies, little petit four cakes shaped liked ladybugs and these addictive Oreo truffle balls.  Yumm!

Everything was just perfect and the food was delicious!  I couldn’t have felt more love for our new little girl.  Thanks to Ashley, Cathy, Jenn and Sheila for hosting such a wonderful shower to welcome Baby Sellman.
