Dinosaur themed baby shower – Eli James is almost here!

 Kelly is having a baby soon and we were able to shower her with love and all things baby boy a couple of weeks ago! Kelly is decorating Eli’s room with Dinosaurs so we decided to play off that theme for the shower. My sister is one of Kelly’s best friends and since she is moving into her house in a month she sweetly asked if we could have it at mine. OF COURSE!!!! We have know Kelly for almost 6 years and we were so thrilled to host her shower. I can’t wait to meet her new little one and know that he will be so loved! Hope you enjoy all the shower details!

Here is the invitation I created based off the bedding she picked out.

We decided not to play silly shower games and came up with Baby Eli BINGO! Kelly has been craving starburst and skittles during her pregnancy so we used starburst as bingo markers. All was good until my dog jumped up on a lap and ruined the game!

We wanted Kelly to have something special to take home from the shower that was unique. Since Kelly used to be an art teacher we came up with a painted canvas. The canvas was divided into 4×6 squares and each guest painted a square on the canvas. It was fun to see what everyone came up with!

My sister is an amazing natural soap maker and created these awesome gift baskets for each guest to take home. She made lotion, soap, and bath fizzies! The labels were custom made to match the theme! SO STINKING CUTE!!!

Thank you for the sweet comments! It was a super fun baby shower to plan and design. I actually designed the invitations in Illustrator and then had them printed. I made the bingo cards as well.
