Hostess With The Mostess

LIONS AND TIGERS AND BOYS OH MY!
Baby Shower for Sisters: The guests of honor happen to be due a few months apart, they are both having boys and boys and they are also sisters!

INVITATIONS: We were able to hand deliver almost all of the invitations. I used cupcake from Amazon.com-sweet cravings and filled them with animal crackers. The double-sided invitation by Sara Westbrook Designs was placed on top and secured with jute twine and a tag with the name of the guest.

FOOD: At the request of one of the soon to be mom’s we hired CHOM CHOMP NATION, a Gourmet food truck that serves the most AMAZING Singaporean food and even the vegetarian crowd was happy. It also happens to be painted with Tiger stripes!

DRINKS: I created the “Watering Hole” by using a white table clothe and made a table runner with zebra print fabric that a ripped so they edges would fray. For the mosquito net effect I used a BRYNE net from IKEA. 
The water infused with sliced limes and the soda cans included IZZE sparkling juice in 2 flavors - Sparkling Apple & Clementine and they are both delicious! I taped paper straws to the sides of the cans using with Animal print & polka dot Washi tape from etsy shop Crafty Japan
SAFARI JEEP: When it is possible I like to include any additional children the mommy has. I took headshots of all of the children and uploaded them to Life size Custom Cutouts where they made me the most adorable and I must say PERFECT 12 inch FACE-KA-BOBS! I taped those sweet faces onto a Safari jeep cutout from Shindigz and labeled it license plate “Cousin Caravan”.
KITCHEN COUNTER: I tapped white craft paper to the granite counter using ZEBRA printed duck tape.
PARTY FAVORS: I filled the Palm Tree boxes with banana candies and the monkeys on the tree trunks were made with my Cricut Expression 2. Above the bamboo cart where the favors sat I tied a sign to the gate that read, “Thanks for Swinging By”. (I glued the paper flags to a stick of bamboo from the $.99 store)
FLOWERS: I used protea pincushion flowers that I got from Fuji Wholesale Flowers (because I thought they looked like lion heads) and placed them into clear vases with a tealeaf.
