home decorating ideas for anniversary celebration
(lighthearted music) - i am throwing a baby shower today. okay, so how do you throw a baby shower for the girliest girl that iknow who's pink and sparkly and she has two beautiful little girls and she's having a boy? well, i went through lots of ideas. do i do a camo party? do i do an army party?
do i do boats, trains? i go well how do i make this happen? but sometimes you haveto go with the venue and at first i thought blue sparkly and she loves bow ties, but when i got here and it wasso beachy and chic and clean, i came up with another idea. so let me take you around theroom and show you what i did. we went with the colorsthat were here already.
so i decided to go with the teal colors and we just used blocks and teddy bears and just kept it really simple. i'm not much of a game player. i know a lot of times at baby showers people taste baby food anddo all that kind of thing. that's not how i roll. so what we've done iswe've made wish jars, we have our gift table over here,
and in the corner you see the gals are writing notes on the diapers. take your diapers, the littlebaby diapers and write notes. so in the middle of the nightwhen the mom is exhausted and it's two a.m. andthey're changing a diaper, you write "champs is on itsway" or "you can do it." it's great words of encouragement. here's something else fun. this is a gal who actuallyreads your lipstick prints.
so you pick a lipstick and you kiss a card and she will give you a reading based on your lipstick print. for lindsay's baby shower,i decided to do cakes. each cake has a different flavor and you can see it'sall decorated with candy and these are the kinds of jars. remember we talked about for kids parties, we talked about those jarsthat you can fill with candy.
these are the same jars. i just filled them with different candy. isn't that cool? this is also a greatplace to take pictures. if you don't have roomfor a separate photo wall, this is a fantastic background. so i just got regularballoons with streamers, create a backdrop. a personal touch is always great.
my girlfriend lindsay thati'm throwing the party for has a million photos and videos of her two little girls and their family. so i had them all put together and played on screens in theroom so everyone can enjoy. a lot of times we've talked about budget and you have to knowwhere to spend the money, where not to. just in keeping with this room,
just went with simple whitelinens, white tablecloths, very inexpensive. but the chairs were hideous. so i changed the chairs. so i went with lucite because when you use lucitethey kind of just disappear. well my guests are arriving and so i need to go and getready for lindsay's arrival and i hope you learned something fun
and that your next shower is a success. cheers. (upbeat music) (popping) (bells chime)
