Oh Deer Vann is Here!!!

The day has finally come people!! My bestie of like 1000 years had a perfect baby boy and I was SO EXCITED to throw her a baby shower. It is the first thing I asked her when she told me she was pregnant haha. The Nielson house was my second home growing up so it was so fun to see everyone in the same room again. All 3 of her sisters and mom were surprising her by coming!!! She has one sister in AZ and another sister and mom 6 hrs away so it was a big deal! 

I kind of mushed a bunch of themes together to fit their little family. Her husband is a big hunter and they had this little antler mount up in baby Vann's bedroom (it was her husband's first deer…cute!) I planned the whole shower around it! They also love the mountains and outdoors so we ended with a hunter/woodland/mountain theme :)

I loved making the paper mountains and mountain garland, they turned out so cute! And how great is that moss table runner!?

I never got a good table shot with ALL the food on… dang it! But you get the idea! 

Acorn Bites! (s'more ritz and kisses)

Veggie Kindling

Woodland Cookies!

We found this set of woodland animal cutters at IKEA and I am in love. I should have spread all the animals out more so you could see all the cute ones, but there were hedgehogs, foxes, squirrels, bears and my fav moose were at the bottom!

Birch Twigs

Mountain Tarts!

My first time doing tarts instead of cupcakes… I may be doing this forever now haha so good!

Berry Picking

I was having technical difficulties with my chocolate fountain…. the heater went out so when we poured all the chocolate in it got cold and lumpy and clogged… it was a disaster!!

My poor mom got chocolate all over her trying to help my get it fixed haha. We ended up just throwing all the chocolate in the crock pot… crisis adverted!

Nicole has this adorable dresser in her living room that we decorated to match the theme! I found that bath robe at Chapters and just about died from cuteness! 

I am a huge fan of relaxed games at parties. I just have stations and people can do the games on their own time and we announce winners at the end of the shower. 

Station 1: Name the baby animals

Station 2: Guess the price of the basket

Station 3:  Guess the number of candies in the bottles

Station 4: Guess the baby food flavours

The party favour table!!

I made cork planter magnets and I love them so much! Definitely recommend… cute and pretty minimal work! 

I love this girl and baby Vann (and Brant by default haha) so much!!! She really is a best friend for life and I was so happy I could throw her a good party. Love you Coly!!
