The shower was such a wonderful day. I can not express how blessed Kev and me felt by having so many of our friends and family there. We love all you guys! The rain even held off for most of the day and only sprinkled for just a few mins at one point. For the most part everyone just hung out in my parents backyard. We had picnic tables set up and vintage blankets and linens out on the grass for lounging as well. There was lots of Lemonade, ice tea, and old school looking glass sodas. I bought a bunch of those stripped paper straws that added a lot of fun to the drinks. My mom and me collected old glasses from thrift stores for the past few months and everyone got to use a fancy glass. Everything looked so cute together!! My sisters and me made Strawberry lemonade cupcakes and chocolate ones that had pansies on them. We had chalkboard menus, a clothes line of my baby dresses, old baby pictures, lots of snacks, beautiful wildflowers, lots of milk glass and fun games. We played tug-o-war, sack races, home run derby, we hula hooped and played corn hole. Of course the day goes by way to fast and its hard not to regret not spending more time with each person, or that you didn’t get certain pictures of things but that night after it was all over, Kev and me laid in bed and just talked about our day and told stories and reminisced. It will be a day that we wont soon forget. Thank you to the people that made the day so special!!

Most baby showers I have been to are the kind with chocolate in the diaper and various other ridiculous/ boring games. This looks like a hoot! Plus I love all the vintage details!

So incredibly creative and fun! A true DIY baby shower done to perfection. I agree with Tess - you should go into party planning! It just goes along with the whole invitations business venture. A little part time gig after the baby comes.

Jen! This looks so professional! Its amazing how all that hard work you did pulled together in the end. And I love that your friends put on their best vintage just for the occasion.
What a special day for you both. I would pick a party like this over the more traditional shower any day!

I’d much prefer this to a traditional shower. That last picture, the one with Kev as a little boy, is too cute. He has hardly changed a bit.

i am saving this post for inspiration in the future! my husband and i plan on starting a family soon and we live far from my family. i had always had mixed feelings about a co-ed baby shower thinking that men aren’t cut out for looking at wee onesies & diapers for hours haha but neither am i! my bridal shower was slightly nervewracking with opening gift after gift so the idea of having a more relaxed & unique baby shower hit the right note with me. to be able to have ALL our family & friends (including the men in my family I don’t get to see much) would just be perfect. i love the theme and the decor. so different! thanks for the inspiration
