Ahoy, It’s A Boy Nautical Baby Shower {Guest Post}

Baby, Crafts & DIY, Home Decor

By now, I’m pretty sure I don’t need to introduce SOTD readers to my talented and crafty friend Allie. You’ve already seen her work decorating my bridal shower and my baby shower and her own crafty projects. Today she’s here to show off another adorable party she had her hands in, a baby shower for her friend Sarah.

Sarah’s nursery theme was nautical in nature so Allie helped to create some “Ahoy, It’s a Boy” nautical shower decorations.

Guests snacked on some appropriately themed foods like lifesavers, saltwater taffy and Swedish Fish (which were named “Catch of the Day”).

They nibbled on other foods that were labeled with cute names like some adorable “buoy bites” fruit salad

or mini meatball subs named “Skipper’s Sammies.”

The silverware was adorably wrapped in blue napkins with twine and a white life saver.

If they were thirsty, they helped themselves to the “sea water” drink station

Or plunged in this cloudy Sailor’s punch! Her version used about half a jug of blue Hawaiian punch, instead of the powdered style as listed in the original recipe. One reviewer had said to try to avoid vanilla bean ice cream (as those little black notes made the drink look dirty in their opinion) but Allie didn’t experience this with her red cups. Allie’s Tip: Add the ice cream at least 15 minutes prior to guests arriving for a cool affect!

For dessert, they dove into these “High Seas in a Cup” Jello samplers with little floating gummy sailboats and deep diving sharks. Tip: since you make the Jello ahead of time and add the boats later, use long toothpicks that will not only create the sail for the boat, but can also be plunged deeper in the Jello water to help the boats stand up. Wait to add the sharks at a later time as well, as they tend to get a little soggy when added too early.

Just as she had done for my baby shower, Allie thought about those “opening the presents” shots and made little sailboats to hang on the wall.

Nautical Baby Shower: "from sarah's shower to yours" pouf favors | spotofteadesigns.com

Last, but not least, guests went home with bath poufs that were attached to cute “from Sarah’s shower to yours” tags, which I personally think is such a useful gift!

Great job once again miss Alliecat! :)

#ad Last year was tough for so many reasons, but o #ad Last year was tough for so many reasons, but one of the bright spots for us was the first year of our backyard garden! We’d call my mom on video chat for advice, took turns watering and weeding it, and eventually enjoyed all the vegetables, herbs and flowers for months. 
.
We’re currently planning ahead for this year’s garden which involves sporting our mask whenever researching plant choices. I'm partnering with @choosenewjersey to remind you to #maskupnj and social distance yourselves when you’re not staying home.

Things are changing daily in our state, but you can keep yourself informed with the latest updates on COVID by visiting https://covid19.nj.gov and downloading the free app for info on symptoms and exposure notification.

Do you have any suggestions on easy to maintain plants for our garden?

My girls were super excited to see these unicorn c My girls were super excited to see these unicorn canvas crafts we were #gifted by @horizongroupusa this weekend. Unicorns + painting + magic reveal components? Yes, please!

My art major momma heart was pumped because I got to teach them a new painting technique - wet on wet watercolor! Plus, when you wet the canvas a few designs appear that you don't see at first glance.

These are now proudly displayed in their rainbow and unicorn filled bedrooms.
