The Baby Shower

Our oldest son, David, and his wife are expecting!

We will be first time grandparents in August.

 

'Rub-A-Dub-Dub A New Baby to Love' was the theme.

 

These were our centerpieces.

I got the small tubs and blue bath scrubbers at Dollar General.

I added vinyl dots to the tubs and made custom labels to attach to dowel rods that were secured in a small block of styrofoam in the bottom of the tub.

A little rubber duckie and a small bottle of bubble bath from Bath & Body Works were placed inside.

 

I filled little baby bottles with duck-shaped Runts candies and added tags cut on my Cricut.

I used Cricut Pens to write "Thank You"

 

The centerpiece tubs turns out so cute I made the Mom-to-be a larger version.

The big tub and duckie came from Target. I made a bigger custom tag to attach to a dowel rod.

The bottom of the tub has 2 packs of diapers. A blue blanket covers them.

The bow around the duck secures it to the dowel.

There's baby shampoo, wash, etc in the folds of the blanket.

 

I also made a Stork Diaper Bundle. About 1/2 pack of small diapers were rolled and rubber banded together in a pyramid shape. I cut a piece of cardboard for the bottom.

Flannel fabric was folded around the cardboard and tied with a double bow. A pacifier hangs from it.

The stork & 'Special Delivery' tag was cut from cardstock on my Cricut and attached to a painted dowel rod. The rod is stuck down in between the rolled diapers.

 

I made our son a "Daddy Doo-ty Apron".  A few brown splats are randomly embroidered on it.

Daddy Doo-ty Apron is embroidered at the top. Baby bottle nipples are glued on in the appropriate spots. Safety googles for and a face mask are attached.

A "Panic Button" is stitched on near the belly button with 'Call 1-800 GRANDMA' embroidered underneath.

'Wet' & 'Dry' pockets with rubber gloves, air freshener & clean diapers inside.

A pair of tongs to pick up those dirty diapers completes the apron.

Cute & fun :)

 

 We had duckie shaped iced cookies

 

As a rememberance of the day, I cut onesies from cardstock, again with my Cricut, and had everyone write a bit of baby advice on them.

They were hung on a ribbon clothesline with tiny baby clothespins.

 

As the gifts started to arrive, they were placed on a table decorated with a clothesline of baby clothes.

 

 Rub-A-Dub-Dub, I can't wait to get my hands on that baby to love :)
