A Mustache Baby Shower

 
I'm so excited to finally post about this baby shower my friend Jen and I threw for our friend Lindsay. Jen came up with the idea of making it a "Mustache Theme" since the baby's father, Adam, is somewhat of a mustache enthusiast; and since the expected baby is a boy. Makes total sense of course. I designed the invitations, Adam (aka Hobo Press) printed them, and Jen sewed the mustaches. We used 140 pound Whip Cream paper and the Nighshift Blue envelopes from French Paper Co. The invites and the envelopes were both letter pressed.

For the party Jen and I made a flag banner using the invite colors. Adam screen printed some mustaches on some of the flags, of course. It looked so awesome I still haven't been able to take it down. We had mustache shaped flat breads, mustache decorated cupcakes, mustache cookies, croissants, a truly delicious French toast casserole that Jen made, and of course, fancy drinks, such as citrus infused water and Bellinis. Oh, and we set Pandora to the Pink Martini station. So it was all very fancy ...but not really, just fun.

We had some laughs playing the "Pin the Mustache on the Baby" game. The Bellinis might have helped, I don't know. We also did the traditional opening of the gifts. I gave Lindsay this awesome mustache from LittleAlouette (thank you so much for the speedy shipping!) And when the party was over everybody got to take home a little mustache decorated pouch filled with mustache cookies. So, all in all I had too much fun with this baby shower, but, I don't ever want to cut anything in the shape of a mustache again!
