Baby showers don?t always have to be pastel with cute baby themes. The parties to celebrate an expanding family with themes about family often leave the most lasting impact. This is what happened when Jen of? Jen Loves Kev celebrated hers with a vintage style shower centering on her family heritage. Filled with old-fashioned games and fashions, a few guests even wore epoch clothes! It took a great amount of advanced planning, but the result is a vintage family picnic baby shower she?ll never forget.
?For the most part everyone just hung out in my parents backyard. We had picnic tables set up and vintage blankets and linens out on the grass for lounging as well. There was lots of Lemonade, ice tea, and old school looking glass sodas. I bought a bunch of those stripped paper straws that added a lot of fun to the drinks.?
Along with her mom, Jen collected old glasses from thrift stores for the past few months and everyone got to use a fancy glass. ?Everything looked so cute together! My sisters and I made Strawberry lemonade cupcakes and chocolate ones that had pansies on them.?
Details like the label on the Grandma?s Pickles jar personalized the theme.
There were chalkboard menus, a clothes line of Jen?s old baby dresses, old baby pictures, lots of snacks, beautiful wildflowers, lots of milk glass and fun games. ?We played tug-o-war, sack races, home run derby, we hula hooped and played corn hole.?
?Of course the day goes by way to fast and its hard not to regret not spending more time with each person, or that you didn?t get certain pictures of things but that night after it was all over, Kev and me laid in bed and just talked about our day and told stories and reminisced. It will be a day that we wont soon forget.?
What a beautiful day of family and fun! Thanks Jen for sharing your baby shower with us!
