REAL PARTIES: My Little Cupcake
Who wouldn’t love a party centered around cupcakes?!
That’s exactly what Jessica from Party Box Design thought when she created this adorable “My Little Cupcake” baby shower for her friend, featuring personalized paper details, a bright color palette inspired by baby-to-be’s nursery, and gourmet cupcakes, of course!
(Side note: “My Little Cupcake” would also be a cute theme for a 1st Birthday Party!)
Read on for all the details, as told by Jessica…
Theme Inspiration
The mommy to be is putting together the most darling little baby room with the most fabulous colors, so the colors I used for her baby shower were the colors of the baby room. I thought, “she’s baking a little “cupcake” in her belly, so lets go with that theme” (plus cupcakes are just darling)!
Colors
Chocolate Brown, Raspberry, Pink, Yellow, and hint of Orange
Flowers
I used whole lemons & lemon slices inside the floral vases to create a yellow base. I LOVE using citrus with flowers! The flowers used here were ranunculas, hydrangeas, and just a touch of hot pink roses (for a small pop of pink).
Signature Cocktail: “Cupcake-tini”
Party Favors
The party favors followed the theme. Guests could take home the “DIY Cupcakes” bake their own “little cupcake” at home! I made the favor tags, and the baking instructions were on the back of the tags. (More DIY details here.)
I also had some cute personalized water bottle labels made for the shower:
- Cupcake Wrappers: Bake it Pretty
- Cupcakes: Party Box Design
- Party Decor & Florals: Party Box Design
- Custom Water Bottle Labels: etsy
- Vases: Michaels
- Mason Jars: purchased at a local craft store

What fresh and fun ideas! Great use of simple lemons and ribbon to create the custom look of the vases– a little bit of creativity can save you a LOT of money without sacrificing an elegant, modern look!
