Backyard Baby Shower
I am so thrilled for the arrival of Fall and cooler weather. Living in the South, this is the time of year when entertaining outside actually becomes more enjoyable temperature wise. Today I’m sharing a backyard baby shower shoot I recently did for Baby Lifestyles online magazine, which actually made the cover!
My inspiration was sherbet and I used it in my color choice as well as serving for dessert. Read on for all the ideas and inspiration for hosting your own backyard shower, and then head over and read the full Baby Lifestyles magazine featuring a spotlight article on the hostess with the mostess herself, Jenn Sbranti.
Once I had my basic concept for the shoot I decided to use the FREE printables for Operation Shower’s Give Thanks program. Designed by Parties By Hardie, the neutral color scheme is perfect for when the mom-to-be doesn’t know the sex of the baby {it also comes in a ‘girl’ and ‘boy’ color palette}. This set is editable too so I was able to add my own names and phrases before printing.
Finally, dessert comes right from my inspiration – Sherbet.
The ideas here incorporate several “baby” items for those who love to bring in that element, but you could also forgo the pacifiers, diaper pins, and baby bottles and still use these ideas for any shower luncheon.
Now, don’t forget to check out Baby Lifestyles Magazine for more showers, birthday parties, and nursery ideas!
I love all the little personal touches. Very sweet. The color palette is perfect for summer.
I love the textures and colors, the warm yellow flowers and green glass are my favorite – it definitely looks like Summer!
Thank you all! Glad you like the “diaper” napkins. I think my favorite thing was the baby bottle “vases”. ; D
Awesome job! The diaper napkins are adorable!
So cute love the color palate
Beautiful job Chris! Love the baby bottle vases!

Just darling Chris! I love how you pinned the napkins. So cute!
