Life Begins With the Birds and Bees Baby Shower

One activity Anne-Marie planned was to have guests create an ABC album for baby that also served as a guest book. The guests were to pick a letter and draw something that matches the letter of the alphabet. She said, "This activity was the highlight of the party. The guests took this very seriously and traced out images before coloring them in. It was great to hear that they immersed themselves in the activity."

Anne-Marie handmade these adorable minipennants. She said, "The baby boy flag banner by the ABC album activity was in a honeycomb shape and honeycomb card-stock backdrop. I made these 3D to give it some texture."

In an effort to create harmony between both elements on the tablescape, Anne-Marie decided to focus the left half of the table on the birds.

Anne-Marie shared a cute DIY shower idea, "On a whim, I made the pacifiers that sat on the napkins by utilizing Life Savers, icing, jelly beans, and ribbon from a tutorial I found online. I thought it was a nice accent to incorporate the baby theme."

Fun elements such as these ceramic birds helped tie the theme together — and can be used at a later date!

For the letters, Anne-Marie used honeycomb card stock and then used a cricut for the cutouts. She then placed them in a fence with moss and flowers for the outdoor feel.

Another shower activity was to make a wish for the baby. Anne-Marie cut out birds and attached ribbon to hang from the stand. She said, "I love heartfelt messages and thought this was a nice sentiment for baby to read one day."

Anne-Marie also created the the onesie banner, which focused on the birds on the left side of the banner and bees on the right side — she also tied in the moon and the stars on a couple of the onesies.

Winners of the games were awarded pure raw honey sticks from Honeyrun Farm. One bag read "About to Hatch" and the other "Mommy to Bee."
