This Little Piggy Baby Shower

May 16, 2012 Filed Under: Baby, Freebies, Printables, Showers, Tutorials by 0

Hi Lil’ Luna readers! My name is Kristen and I’m one of the divas over at The Dating Divas, where we love to share our ideas about dating your spouse. Besides coming up with fun date ideas for the love of my life, I LOVE to plan parties and do other things that don’t involve the hubster (sorry babe!), so I am super duper excited to be posting over here today to share a fun baby shower idea.

One of my favorite girl friends is having a baby girl! This is her first baby and my very first time being able to host a baby shower, so I wanted to go ALL out! The theme is “This little Piggy” I saw this super cute idea for a game on Pinterest.com and I decided to theme a whole party around it! The game is called “Never Have I Ever”, all the guests are asked to bring coins to the shower, when asked the questions on this list, if they HAD done the thing stated then they are required to make a deposit to the Piggy Bank! Once your game is complete and you’ve broken the ice between all the guests, the mommy-to-be should have a Piggy full of Pennies to save for her baby or to use as she wishes. Although this idea was for my friends first baby, this is a perfect idea for a second or third baby where the mommy-to-be, may already have all the basics, and loading up a piggy bank would be the best gift for the new baby.

Throwing a baby shower always requires lots of help. Any guest who wanted to help out I would assign a food dish for them to bring. I told them the theme so they could have something to go off of. We had items like mini HAM sliders and piggy cupcakes. Having the guests help out with food left me plenty of time to do other planning.

I created these Free Piggy Party Printables! and I wanted to share them with you. Food Toppers, Wishes for baby (which we folded up and stuck in the Piggy Bank), Napkin Wraps, Thank You Cards, Sign In Tags, and “This Little Piggy” Invites. When guests started to arrive I had them start filling out the wishes for baby papers and had them sign in on envelopes writing their name and addresses. This gave the mommy-to-be pre addressed envelopes to make writing thank you notes a breeze!

I hope you enjoy my free Piggy Party Printables! And thanks again Kristyn for letting me stop by and join in the fun over here at Lil’ Luna!

Paper Diaper Cake Tutorial #2

July 12, 2011 Filed Under: Baby, Paper Crafts, Showers, Tutorials by 17 Comments
Diaper cakes have become one of my FAVORITE things to make for friends and family for their baby showers. This past weekend, I helped host a shower for a friend in my old ward and thought it would be fun to make one for her. The nursery theme is jungle/safari, which gave me somewhere to start. After finding some Baby Boy/ABC/Jungle Scrapbook paper I was set. I used that paper as a building block for the rest of the cake and came up with this:
It’s kinda similar to the Diaper Cake Tutorial I did last year, but with different colors and themes which makes every cake different and personalized, which I LOVE. Follow the instructions below to learn how you can make a fun and practical gift as well. :)

SUPPLIES:
- Diapers
- Rubber Bands
- Elastic
- Scrapbook Paper
- Glue Stick
- Embellishment Supplies (buttons, fabric, stencils, stamp pad)
- Hole Punch
- Scissors
- Sucker Stick
- Hot Glue Gun

Easy Baby Shower Cupcake Toppers

September 2, 2010 Filed Under: Baby, Freebies, Printables, Showers by 4 Comments



I made cupcakes for a shower this past weekend, and I have to admit – it’s hard for me to do JUST cupcakes.

I had to do something else so I made TOPPERS.

Yes, I know I have a disease. My husband would always try to tell me, “They look cute just how they are.” But he knows me well enough NOW that he asks me, “Do you want me to plug in the glue gun?”

Ain’t he cute?

He knows I’m sick in the head. :)

Any who, I decided to make these cute and easy toppers.
I made them PDFs so that anyone could just print them and use them.

Here’s what I did…

SUPPLIES:
-Baby PDF
-Cardstock
-Circle Punch
-Scalloped Circle Punch
-Glue Stick
-Glue Gun
-Toothpicks
-Cupcakes

INSTRUCTIONS:
boy icon http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=36808537&access_key=key-yvlazf18ko16aclpa40&page=1&viewMode=list
girl icon http://d1.scribdassets.com/ScribdViewer.swf?document_id=36808580&access_key=key-20b72va7dy9yduo4t0ph&page=1&viewMode=list

1. Print out the BOY (or GIRL) Icon Page in whichever ink color you’d like, and then punch a circle around the image.

2. To distress, rub edges of circle on a stamp pad. Let dry.


3. Punch scalloped circles out of cardstock using a punch.


4. Glue boy/girl circles to cardstock.


5. Hot Glue toothpick to back of scalloped circles and cover with another circle (punched from paper).


That’s it.
Cute.
Simple.
Easy.

And now your cupcakes look even cuter!! :)

I hope you liked this easy way of dolling up some cupcakes for your next
Boy or Girl Baby Shower. :)
