Mimi's Baby Shower

My lovely sister-in-law is pregnant with her first baby and I couldn't be more excited for my new nephew to arrive! As far as I'm concerned, Baby E can't get here soon enough.

Mimi's due in March so we're throwing her a baby shower at the end of February. Thought you might enjoy a little peek at my inspiration for the party:
Also, I promised to show you the shower invite as soon as it had arrived in Mimi's mailbox - I didn't want to spoil the surprise! Here it is:

Sweet, huh? The orange in the invite was the beginning of the color palette, but then I wanted to add some blue so this shindig didn't get too sweet and girly - she is having a boy, afterall. But I wanted the party to feel bright and warm and definitely not too traditional or cutesy, and since aqua goes so well with orange, it was a natural fit.

I've got some creative ideas up my sleeve, but I don't want to share too much before the shower. Stay tuned to see how it all turns out...

*P.S. I'm working on getting all of the links for the images. But I just couldn't wait to post this, so I will update soon to give credit where credit is due. :)
