A List Baby | AListBaby.Net|

There are new AListBabies on the way…and that means more baby showers! We turned to our friends at Lil Baby Cakes for the cutest gender neutral baby diaper cake EVER, and we cannot wait to put it on display. When you combine an adorable plush horse, a cow and a piggy, you get one fun diaper cake. $89 at Lil Baby Cakes.

Everyone loves burp cloths that are hand-sewn and come made-to-order! They are perfect baby shower gifts. Each Choochi Baby Burp Cloth has an initial embroidered, custom fabric patch with coordinating ribbon and comes bundled in a set of two.  Each burp cloth is soft and super-absorbent.  The cloth itself is a heavy weight for durability, too. We received a set of Emma burp cloths as a gift from Choochi Baby, and we think they are terrific! Truly luxe. The site has cute t-shirts and little personalized photo albums, too.

Girls have princess parties….so we think its only fair that little boys get Prince parties! We found this fabulous design board at the Well Heeled Hostess. Birthday parties have come a long way, baby!

The fabulous Hostess with the Mostess (Hostess Blog) styled a lovely shower for Scrubs star Judy Reyes. We adore the berry colors and the candy bar. Cheers to baby showers!

In 2010, we have a good 1st birthday party here in Dallas to look forward to…I can feel it! 

We love this fun baby shower concept from Project Nursery! The bird’s nest invitation offers a modern, yet playful approach to this theme….and it gives the hosts a beautiful shade of blue to use as a central color in the decor.  If you want to carry the nest-theme into the place setting, you could use bird’s nest place cards. Many fabulous ideas!

I promise this is still a baby blog. We will be posting some fabulous baby items on Monday. But first…I have to share this magic with you.

I really love my wedding.

Bells did ring. The sun did shine. I am his, and he is mine.

Many more wedding details to come. And, of course, photos of our delightful flower girls!

We showed you my friend Jean E.’s stylish safari nursery, and today is part one of her fantastic rubber ducky baby shower! We filled three glass bowls with foam balls, added a splash of water and a ducky–and created a cute centerpiece for our table! Of course, we had to serve blue punch, so a ducky could “swim” in the punch bowl. We hung yellow and blue paper lanterns from the ceiling to add a splash of color to the room. We will bring you part two tomorrow!

Summer is a great season for baby showers and wedding showers! It is an exciting time for me, because I am getting married this fall! {Before we know it, we will probably be announcing our own little AListBaby!  But no rush there!} Below is the the inspiration board my mom and I created for my bridal shower next month. I am excited! It will be at The Stoneleigh Hotel here in Dallas. I love the hotel’s Old Hollywood Glamour feel. The colors for the shower are pink, raspberry and silver. 

We have recently been invited to a Sip and See. It is a great southern tradition that allows you to show off your newborn to your closest family and friends soon after the birth. The event is usually held at the baby’s new home. I think its a great way to prepare for guests all at once, rather than schedule a dozen visits! The fabulous HWTM has a great Sip and See inspiration board, below. I could use a glass of champagne right now!
