“Goodnight Moon” Baby Shower Dessert Table
In continuing with our new Goodnight Moon Inspired Baby Shower, here we go with PART 2: The Dessert Table!
As with Part 1, there are tons of free party printables for you to download here too in case you want to recreate this theme at home.
Free Baby Shower Printables
The Goodnight Moon Baby Shower printables include mini cupcake toppers, food/drink flags, decorative labels (used on the candy jars & plates), “GOODNIGHT” garland, and small decorative banners, and hanging stars and ribbon banner from the backdrop. You can also purchase the big jumping cow & moon graphics here. Scroll down for lots of colorful dessert table ideas & images, followed by creative details & shopping resources!
CREATIVE DETAILS:
- The striped table backdrop is actually a shower curtain from Target!
- A navy blue linen worked well with the “night time” theme and provided a nice foundation for the table that really made the bright colors pop.
- I used fishing wire to hang a “cow jumping over the moon” backdrop over the shower curtain. The adorable cow and moon illustrations are by Laura Maples and you can purchase the art file right here at istockphoto.com. Just print and cut them out by hand – you can print as many as you need for the party! Click on the following links to download the coordinating Stars and Ribbon Banner for free.
- The adorable Goodnight Moon inspired sugar cookies were created by The Cookie Jar and feature several elements from the book: cows, moons, stars, red balloons, “Hush” cookies, and scalloped square cookies adorned with cow print and the striped pattern from the bunny’s PJs. Most of the cookies were displayed on a 3-tier server, but I placed a few of them on a red candy-covered plate front & center on the dessert table. They were too cute not to be front & center. =)
- Colorful candy & lollipops were displayed in various apothecary jars and vases. The containers were all embellished with themed accent labels and the same ribbon used throughout the sit-down tables & hutch. You can download the decorative labels right here.
- Yarn balls (also an element the book) were again used as accents throughout the table and really tied everything together. DIY tutorial on the yarn balls coming soon!
- Mini vanilla cupcakes (purchased at Vons – my local grocery store) were displayed on a cute display stand from The Cupcake Tower. I used Craft Glue Dots to edge the display with matching ribbon & accent labels and designed miniature toppers for the cupcakes. You can download the toppers right here. The top of the cake stand was the perfect place to highlight the theme’s inspiration, so a copy of Goodnight Moon + some yarn balls and crochet needles sat here.
- We also made some pastry star-topped Cheesecake Shooters using this tutorial from Carrie at Half Baked. I just LOVE these cute little desserts and they are surprisingly easy to make! (A frosting/piping tool makes it super easy to get the cheesecake mixture in “cleanly”. I have the Dessert Decorator Plus by Wilton, which is $15 and you can find it online or at Michaels.) The shooters are displayed in simple glass votive holders that I bought in bulk at Michaels. (only $8 for a pack of 16)
- Golden and regular Oreo cookies were dunked in red and yellow Candy Melts for another easy (and seriously super yummy!) homemade treat.
- I also made 2 “faux lamps” (also inspired by the book) using pillar candlestick holders, inexpensive lamp shades from IKEA, and a strand of acrylic beads for the “pull cord”. Craft Glue Dots were used to embellish the lamp shades with ribbon & pom pom trim. DIY tutorial coming soon.
- Last but not least, the front of the table is adorned with a GOODNIGHT garland featuring individual letters attached to ribbon for hanging. (Download this garland here.) I also stuck one of the paper ribbon banners to the middle of the finished garland for some added detail.

I loved how the cows were incorporated into the theme! My daugther is head over heals with cows!
I love the cookies!!
I love it all, but I love how simple the oreos were, yet they add such a cute flare and color to the table.
WOW!! What a creative and gorgeous shower Jen!!! Love all the desserts!!! That shower curtain is awesome!! I wonder how many other gals out there would use a shower curtain as a backdrop..lol AMAZING work as always!! LOVE IT!
I would LOVE the crate and barrel gift certificate to decorate our nursery … and or our bedroom – BOTH need LOTS of help :-)
I would get more baking supplies! I’m a newbie baker trying to start a little home based business, so the gift card would be great!!!
I love all things Goodnight Moon – what a great shower theme! Especially love the cupcake toppers. As for C&B, could use a new COUCH! :)
I also love the cake toppers but don’t know how to download them. Help, anyone?
I love the cookies and the color scheme of this, and I LOVE CB! They started carrying Weck canning jars recently and I can easily see myself spending $100 on just those. Great giveaway!
I love the banner and how perfectly it matches the Goodnight Moon colors!
I would love to win that gift cert. Everything looks so cute.
I love the sweet dreams desserts in the shot glasses!
I love the yarn balls and the lamps. Such great elements to incorporate from the book! I would use the GC to buy more entertaining items, as I have become addicted to planning parties/get-togethers since finding your website! And I have to say, glue dots are amazing! They are very strong considering how convienient and small they are!
I really like all the cow details! And how the cookies almost exactly match the decorations.
Fantastico…..ciao ciao
I’d put the crate & barrel gift card towards stocking up on serving platters and dishes!
OMG how adorable is this?!? I love it! Great job Jenn!
I love the balls of yarn! Such a sweet and perfect touch.
And thanks for the reminder to check out Crate and Barrel’s website. I’m seriously eyeing all thinks Marimekko.
I LOVED this party post! I loved reading this book to my children when they were young and this party really evoked the vivid colors and sweet sentiments of the book. I loved seeing the diamond ribbon in unexpected places. I loved the cookies. I love the balls of yarn and crochet hooks. I thought the whole thing was brilliant! Thank you!
I love the dipped oreos! This is such a great idea that is so simple and could be used to add some color to any party!
I love everything I see it was hard to choose one. The C&B gift card would be nice to shop for more baking supplies :)
I love this idea! The colors are so great and are right along with the book. The yarn and cow accents are nice touches. This is such a whimsical, beautiful display, sure to delight many just like the book. The sugar cookeis are gorgeous and I love the dipped oreos and the star dessert. I would use the gift card to buy pieces for entertaining. You’re site always inspires me to want to do more parties!
I love all the little details! A big fan of the cupcake toppers and labels on the jars! The giftcard would go to anything and everything party planning! It is my weakness.
I love the yarn such a cute idea. C&B is my favorite store I think I’ll buy my mom some kitchen tools
I love little DIY details at parties (handmade place cards, home-baked takeaway treats, etc).
Love the cookies and yarn decorations.
I love the Hush cookies. That’s my nephew’s favorite part of the book!
Perfect. I love this party. Your website is so inspiring.
Both my son & I love the “Goodnight Moon” story… this shower theme looks so great. I would use the C&B gift cert towards more supplies.
I adore this shower, i love all the little details – tags, flags, yarn balls – that really bring everything together and polish it off so nicely, i also love the star cheesecake “shots” and have been obsessed with any kind of cake/dessert in mason jars, shot glasses or something that makes it extra special – C&B how do i love thee let me count the ways… currently i am “needing” and lusting after more bitty bite glasses and a bunch of ramekins to serve mini individual chillis both for a campy, woodsy baby shower and also spider cupcake holders – who does not need spider cupcake holders? really now… :)
We waited to find out the sex of our baby…its a girl! 3 weeks later and still no room for her. I would put the gift card towards that
I love the use of yarn, especially on the forks!
I’d get more serving wear– so I can create beautiful tables like this too!
LOVED!!! Goodnight Moon Theme!! That book was read every single night for over a year to my daughter!! I miss it *sniff*
What a wonderful theme! I would use the gift card towards out Master Bedroom. It was the last room to be done but we never end up having enough money so it keeps getting put off.
I’d use the gift card to buy housewares from Crate and Barel. Love their stuff!!
Adorable party! I’d use the gift card for serving pieces at Crate & Barrel. :)
I would use the Crate & Barrel gift card towards serving plates to use in my daughter’s upcoming birthday party :o) I LOVE LOVE LOVE this theme! So beautifully done.
I would use the crate and barrel gift card to find some cute stands and glasses that you always use for your parties. I could think of a million uses for the glue dots!!!!
I love the cows, they are absolutely adorable. The color pallett is beautiful as well. Thanks for sharing.
my favorite detail would definitely be the cookies – so detailed and done perfectly (coming from a 7 mo. preggo) ha ha. I do have an upcoming Halloween Party and would love to put the gift card to use purchasing a few Halloween related items.
Love the dessert table. So cute! To make your baby shower even more memorable, go order your invitations at http://www.acsgreetings.org with Americacn Cancer Society. While celebrating the birth of your baby, you can support to help create a world with more birthdays and less cancer.
Goodnight Moon – a tradition at our house. I would use the Crate and Barrel gift card towards Christmas gifts!
I love the way the guest tables looks like a bed. I love the tea cups and printables. I also love how you use a shower curtain as the tablecloth.
I would use the crate and barrel certificate on glassware/barware. I need a new collection
I ABSOLUTLEY love this theme. The little yarn balls are so simple ,yet, my favorite . I am thinking little cake pos that look like yarn balls would be adoreable
I love dipping the oreos in the colored candy melts! Too cute!!
I love it ALL! But if I had to choose one thing I think it would be the balls of yarn throughout, such a cute touch to add color and if you’ve ever read the book you understand the meaning. My 2 year old LOVES when I read this to him, and reading it to me! Great Job!
Crate & Barrel has such amazing stuff for the home – especially for entertaining. My favorite so far is the bubble ball tealight holders but with inspiration like this shower, I’d probably go for something like the iron dish holder or more platters/serving pieces. What amazing ideas you have!!!
I love that you used lamps as decor, so clever! :-)
My daughter is about to move back home after living on her own for 4 years. She’s bringing her 2 1/2 -yr daughter with her. A gift card would help make her old room a place for both of them to enjoy.
So adorable and I really like the colors. One of my favorite books to read to my kids. Thanks for the lovely post.
I love the yarn balls, so colorful! I would love a gift card to decorate the new house we just bought.
I love the flip-flopped Oreos and that you included Golden Oreos, because I heart them. So much that I may eat a package a week…shh*
i really loved how you made that lamp — inexpensively, but it looks awesome. i would use my crate & barrel gift card toward more serving dishes! or holiday stuff! or new bedding! i love that place :)
Crate & Barrel has some beautiful serving platters and pitchers that I would love to own!
I love the dipped Oreos.
I just came across your blog and love, love, LOVE it! This is so cute, as is all your wonderful dessert table ideas! I specifically like how you have your basic accessories for each table and change the ribbon, cards, and colors for each theme. It gave me great ideas for a baby party I’m going to throw for my daughter in a couple of months.
I love the yarn balls everywhere! Especially on the back of the chairs!
And I’d definitely buy baking supplies at CB!!! Or a cookbook!
I love all the bright colors in the the theme and the yarn balls and lamp. I would use the gift certificate to stock up on serving platters and maybe some fun halloween decorations!
I love the cupcake toppers. I used some for my gender reveal party. They are great for when you are not so great at detailing cupcakes. =D
I love how the yarn was wound around the white letters… so versatile, easy and cheap! I pinned it to Pinterest already. =)
What wouldn’t I use a C&B gift card for? *swoon*
This is the cutest theme – love all the bright colors!
My fave are the cheesecake shooters! But I love the overall colorful/but not super bright mood!
I love the little basic things that you take and add a printable sign or decorative paper or ribbon to. I would use the gift certificate to buy things like that that you could use over and over but make it different everytime! :)
Well I’d have to use the Crate&Barrel gift certificate towards Staccato Dinnerware set! I’m getting married next year and I’m going to need some cute dishes to host with!
The cow jumping over the moon is one of my fav.
Super cute theme!
This is one of my favorite books growing up! I loved all the yarn details. Using the yard balls to decorate adds such a fun and playful look to the whole party!
I love the lamps!
I love the color scheme. Bright! Vibrant! I would use a Crate & Barrel gift card towards some new cake plates – desperately need them! Thank you!
I LOVE the cow cookies…so cute!
I LOVE the balls of yarn and the alternating half dipped oreos!!!!
I love the dessert shooters with the stars. This is one of my daughter’s favorite books – fantastic for them to do such a nice modern theme with it!
I would use the C&B card to buy some new serving dishes! I need more platters and trays!
Love Goodnight Moon, it is a bedtime favorite. My favorite design element is the “Hush little baby” sign on the cupcake stand – my son loved the part of the book where we said goodnight to the old lady whispering “hush.” (Then we would whisper hush in his ear.)
I love love love your ideas for this baby shower! The ‘table beds’ were a super creative idea! It was all wonderful. As for the C&B gift card….I am slowly but surely putting together a ‘fun’ room at our house for our preschool age grandchildren…I am sure there are things I could use to complete this makeover!
Oh the details are too adorable! I love it
Oh, and I would use the gift card towards glass whare for dessert tables =)
I love the “Goodnight Moon” theme and that the tables where clothed as beds, with sheets and a pillow. It added to the overall look and appeal. I also love all the over the moon cow decor. Simply cute for a little one’s celebration. I look at this and can only imagine all the fun events that I can host for family and friends and would use the Crate&Barrel gift certificate to build up my supplies to bring an event to life!
I LOVE the dipped oreos! They incorporate the colors beautifully. I will use that idea for a bridal shower I am throwing!
The giftcard would be used to add some much needed decor to my bland house. We just moved in and we need some help! Haha
Love the specialized sugar cookies and, even though its nothing new and I’ve done it several times myself, I always love printables and labels on things like cups and water bottles! With the holidays coming up you know I would be in C&B checking out their new holiday items!
I really like the cheesecake shots with the star garnish, and the yarn ball lollipops. I LOVE Crate & Barrel! We purchased a nice dish set from there a while ago, but now we want to go back and get the matching bowls…a gift card would be perfect!
Love the cheesecake shooters!
The oreos are so simple yet so adorable and I love that. I also like the pastry topped Cheesecake Shooters. Such a cute idea. As for the CB giftcard I’d use that to get some items for my kitchen and master bedroom. Those are the only two rooms left to do in my house.
My favorite element is actually the little yarn ball on top of the shooter glass embellished with ribbon and fringe. So simple but so clever!
As awesome as a C&B gift card would be, I honestly want all the glue dots – they make throwing a party so much easier for the non-sewer-don’t own a glue-gunner’s out there, not to mention much more green cause you can reuse your elements over and over.
Beautiful shower! I would use the crate and barrel gift card to spruce up our house with fall decor!
The crate and barrel gift card could really help spruce up my master bedroom. It is in serious need of an update!
I absolutely love this theme (and the book), but my favorite thing has to be the recurring jumping cow!
I just ADORE the yarn balls, especially the “lollipop” ones. They really do bring everything and the whole color scheme together. Also, those cookies are amazing!
soluckyducky at gmail dot com
I could definitely use some new kitchenware from C&B.
I love the textures and color scheme! So cute! I would love to get some new C&B accessories for my house!!
I love the lamps! So cute!

I love the colorful cake displays. I’d buy my sister’s wedding present with the gift card.
I love the little cheesecake shooters. They look so yummy and I like that the little star garnish ties them in with the theme.
I’d put the gift card towards a wall abacus Crate & Barrel has in store. I want to hang that instead of a mobile in the nursery. Our theme is “super baby” so my husband wants brain-stimulating decor. :)
Goodnight Moon is one of my favorite books! I love the cookies with the cows, stars and moons! I would put a Crate & Barrel gift cards towards getting some simple white platters – love how these look!

This is one of my favorite children’s books! Love everything. But my heart beats a little faster whenever I see the bed-tables :D. You have an amazing gift!
Loved the “sweet dreams” and “hush little baby” printables! You also win the award for best use of a shower curtain as your backdrop
I really enjoy the lollipops in apothecary jars. The pops are so fun and the jars are so traditional and grown-up. I love the two together.
If I were lucky enough to win, I would buy a collection of the Rimini and Savona pillows at C&B. I have been coveting them for some time now.
I love that this is a neutral theme, based around a book, and very colorful! And, who doesn’t loive a cow print?! I I would use the gift card for new mixing bowls and spatulas. Maybe a throw pillow too!
I love the “Hush” cookies! So cute
My fave party theme is a build your own cupcake party. I would buy nice white plates, small white bowls and a cake stand for displaying cupcakes and decorating supplies. Fun and cute!
I love the Sweet Dreams desserts with the little star cookies! How cute is that!!
I love the half dipped Oreos and the cute yarn balls. It’s all super cute.
I love the cookies and also the table set a s a bed. And I’d have to put the gift card toward dishes. Mine current ones are looking rough.

I would put the gift card towards the Le Creuset® Stainless Steel 9.5″ dia. Frypan as a gift for a boyfriend. He loves cooking, but he doesn’t have any nice cookware!
Every element that best exemplified my most favoritest childhood book! C&B has the cutest spider cupcake holders!
The details on those cookies are impeccable!
Cute shower theme! I love the way the tables were decorated to look like beds. So simple and such a cute way to tie in the theme! I love Crate and Barrel and I could use a new rug…
I am OVER THE MOON excited about this theme! In fact, I am planning my sisters shower and I am using the idea that you have done for the tables as making them look like beds.

I want to get my kids the lean on me study pillows!! Such a cute idea!

Very cute party! I would use the c&b gift card to buy some decorative accents for my home…a vase..a table runner!
I love that you incorporated the good night moon book. That is an all time favorite at this house and I received it my very 1st baby shower. Books are an amazing thing for babies and kids as they grow. I would use the gift certificate to design an amazing birthday party for my son’s 3rd birthday.
I love the pastry star-topped Cheesecake Shooters. So cute, perfect for the Goodnight Moon theme!
I am amazed by all the details of this shower. I read that book to all three of my kids so many times, I can’t believe I never thought of doing that theme. I have used my Cupcake Tower so many times, and I especially love how you used it in this party. Love everything and I love Crate and Barrel ;)

I would use it on serving dishes. I always loved their unique and fun serving dishes and being a Member Events coordinator I’m always looking for playful ways to add to decor/theme and food!
I looooove the cheesecake shooters they are just to die for!!! If I would win the Crate & Barrel gift card i would us it to buy some seving plates that i want to use at my sons birthday party!!!

I love the shooters and the faux lamps! I would use the crate and barrel gift card for party platters and decorative vases.
I love the book Goodnight Moon and what a fantastic idea for a theme. I am planning my son’s first birthday party and would use the winnings towards the party.
My favorite theme is the Garden Party, I am doing my daughter’s 4th birthday this year as a garden theme, and your blog has given me so many ideas. Your ideas are so classical and amazing for little kids too. With the Crate & Barrel gift card I would redo my kitchen dishes, I have all the old stuff from when I got married and I need an upgrade badly.

I love this party! It is so adorable!!! Every detail is amazing…I just love the idea of including lamps as part of the decor…the yarn makes it more precious…and those cookies are so stinkin’ cute!! Great book and great party…it serves the book justice!
that is the cutest theme ever! What a clever idea! I loved the sugar cookies! all the decorations are incredible!!
I love the cookies! They are super adorable! Especially the hush, hush ones!
I’d put the gift card towards furniture. We need lots of it!
I’d love the gift card to put toward some fun, new winter decor and placemats!

I love the little stars in the dessert shot glasses. How perfect!
I adore the hush hush cookies! How adorable
LOVE this post! Hmmm, probably more kitchen gadgets since I seem to have a weakness for them. LOL!
wow, the whole collection is great but the parfait and oreos look yummy
I would use the CB giftcard to get ready to host my first Thanksgiving dinner!
This is just over the moon! I would use it for all sorts of wonderful things for the house. After being married for 36 years, we could use some new stuff!
Love the dessert cups
I’d put it to use for my next big “ending-in-0” birthday party, which is coming up in four months!
I love the Oreos and the “hush” cookies! This is one of my kiddo’s favorite books! If I won the gift card, I’d use it for serving platters!
We just love a cow jumping over the moon… a wonderful post!
I love the idea of using square vases/cubes for lollipops, or a ton of other things I can think of. How fun to fill it with sweets and treats you can enjoy after the party (or during).
Fabulous party! I never get tired of seeing your yarn balls; you always incorporate them in such fun ways.
Call me simply simplistic but I love the small detail by adding the colorful balls of yarn. I am currently 7 months pregnant and haven’t held my baby shower yet. I would love to use this theme for my new baby boy! I think a clever way for invitations would be to use those same eye catching colorful balls of yarn. I would have my guests unravel the ball to receive exciting baby shower details and information.
The Crate & Barrel gift card would come in handy as us new parents could decorate and furnish our son’s nursery.
The shower curtain is a fantastic idea!
I love the use of a shower curtain for a backdrop and how you used your china cabinet. This is such a cute theme and you pulled it off so well.
The yarn balls are adorable…I will be using this Idea for my son’s 1st birthday. I would use the crate and barrel gift certificate to purchase the lovely small, medium, and large Sweets Pedestals.
i LOVE the lollipops display, the balls of yarn and especially the lamps!! i would love a lamp like that in my little one’s nursery. maybe i’ll just have to make one! c:
i could def put the crate & barrel gift card to good use, on multiple things! dishes or a bedside table or picture frames or silverware…there’s so much great stuff at that store i can’t decide!
I adore the cow…one of my kids all time favorite stories and this just celebrates the story so much… I would use the gc to pick out the perfect holiday table setting and get busy crafting some fun toppers and napkin accents using Glue Dots of course!!! thank you for the chance to win!
I love the lamps and the cheesecake shooters! Those look SO yummy! If I won the gift certificate, I might save it to buy some xmas ornaments since Crate and Barrel always has great ones but then again…I do need some new wine glasses. Maybe I’ll get the wine glasses so I can enjoy putting up the Christmas tree that much more!
I adore the primary colors used in this theme! So often you see pastel and muted colors for kid themes, but the primary colors gives it a childhood feeling that is amazing!
I’m throwing my sister a baby shower, and the crate&barrel gift card would come in handy to buy all the cute dessert table pieces I’ve been drooling over!
The hush hush details are the best ….makes me so nostalgic…
the oreo colors look so neat together! i’d use the c&b gift card for pillows! or lamps! or fun kitchen gadgets!
Crate & Barrel has SUCH great serving pieces! I love their cake pedestals and bakeware… I’d love to have $100 worth of it!! :)

I love this theme! As a kindergarten teacher, this shower theme tugged at my heart! As for the C&B gift card, it would go STRAIGHT to organizational tools! Lord knows I need it!
i really like the overall colors used, and how well they bring everything together! The cookies are also very impressive!
this book melts my heart and I love how you incorporated even the little details people forget to notice in the book! My fave is the blueberry star dessert though :)
I love the Goodnight moon theme and I especially enjoy free printable templates. So I would probably have to say the cupcake picks are my favorite. David and I were married 3 months ago today and now we are 2 months pregnant. We would put the Crate & Barrel gift certificate toward something for the baby. Probably some nice crib bedding.
I love a great Dr. Seuss theme!!!!
I love Goodnight Moon, it was my 4 year olds favorite book as a baby! My favorite details are the cow and moon cookies, they are just adorable! I also love that the colorful lamps were incorporated! I would put the gift card towards servewear for dinner parties!
What a great idea! My mother read this book to all her children (4 of us) every night before bed, wait til she sees the ideas hear! She will flip, the woman is seriously obsesses with that story. I would use the gift card towards my sisters wedding (a pretty gift or something she may need)… and a pretty thing i may see and like, who knows what?!
i like the yarn and books included. i love book showers. never been to c&b so i dont have a clue what to spend it on

I loved the cheesecake shooters not to mention the book displayed on the cake pedestal.
As for how I would spend the Crate & Barrel gift card, I don’t think you can ever have too many white serving pieces. They are so versatile.

I really dig the stars on the cheesecake shooters. What a cute idea! It is all lovely though!

I’m loving those faux-lamps…so smart to use all those different items to create them.

Oh my goodness! I found your site from a search and now I am a huge fan! I love your use of the Yarn Balls and the Lamp…. the most detailed ideas from the book! If I were blessed to win the Crate&Barrel GC to purchase fun entertainment items that my budget can’t afford. Oh I am so excited to have found your web site!

I’m so excited to have found this site! My friend and I are planning a Good Night Moon baby shower right now! It’s hard to pick a favorite detail but I think your use of yarn here and there really stands out to me! I would use the GC to outfit my new home. I’m in desperate need of new pots/pans and servers!
I LOVE the cookie decorations for this party. So creative and bright!
Love the yarn balls. Would totally put the C&B giftcard to use on some decorations for my sister’s upcoming baby shower!
Thanks for the giveaway! I love the star dessert parfaits–they’re so cute on their own, but they’re intolerably cute as part of the theme!
I would have never thought of using Goodnight Moon as a theme and its an all time fave book of both my husband and I. This is a baby shower theme I will definitely use when we try for our second child.
I’m planning a baby shower for my niece so I would use the gift certificate to buy decorating materials.
LOVE this theme! What a great idea to create a book-themed shower. My favorite parts are the homemade lamps, the cupcake toppers (so creative) and the little shooters. Amazing! I’d use the Crate & Barrel gift card to give my home a little personality. My husband and I have lived here for two years, but you’d never know it because we haven’t been able to decorate yet. :) Please pick me! :)
Love!!!!!!
Love your work…
thank you sooooo much for this adorable idea! And thank you for all the printables. You have made planning my sisters baby shower so much less stressful for me.
