A Bridal Shower!

Check out a bridal shower with a few DIY decoration ideas below! 

A few cute details can really add something to an invitation. I got the heart shaped paper punch from Michael's (below) and some cute scrapbook paper. Then I filled the invites with some over-sized confetti. 

Check out the Cup Cake Pomander post for non-floral centerpieces. These are easy and fun, but word to the wise-these pomanders are about the size and height of the head of the person sitting across the table from you. I put them on pedestals but it would have been better if they had been lower!

 For favors I got little boxes for $1.99 and decoupaged my heart confetti on top. I also lined the boxes with the stripe paper to add a little extra on the inside. Then I filled the boxes with tea bags to make little tea samplers! Did I mention this was a tea party shower?

I hope this gives you some ideas for your next party! We'll keep you posted when we come up with any more! (Get it... posted... it's a blog... heheh).

Katie VS the cupcake wrapper pomander

I saw this one on Pinterest and thought how cute it would be for a bridal shower centerpiece.
Cost:  about $8 for 1
Difficulty Level: Easy as Pie
What You'll Need: Cupcake Wrappers, straight pins with ball end, styrofoam balls (75 wrappers covers 1 six inch styrofoam ball).  There is a glue gun just in case, but I ended up not needing it.

step one: stick a pin through the middle of one cupcake wrapper

step two: fold wrapper in half and push pin firmly into the ball

keep that up over and over and over (at least 75 times) placing the pins about 1/2" apart and mixing up the direction of your wrappers to overlap them.

I left a little portion empty on the bottom of some of my pomander so they can stand on candle holders, but I covered some completely.

These are so easy and cute. You can find cupcake wrappers in any color and they are cheaper than flowers. Stay tuned for some more DIY ideas from this bridal shower!
