We have a cute new mother-to-be in our ward or church congregation that is having a couple of boys. She and her husband just moved into our area and don't know many people. They have no family around and are just getting started with jobs and a life together.
We decided to welcome them with a baby shower and we had it at our home. I cooked the same things that I had for the bridal shower held just 4 days before and I also decorated similarly.
I started by redoing this paper cone wreath and added different blues and banner so that the colors look like baby boy colors.
I've been spying these diaper cakes online the last couple of years, and now I decided to make one up for the new mom and her nursery.
With a cute jungle theme and using monkeys and elephants, I was able to find a fun ribbon that is striped with the same colors as the apparent new nursery.
We had great food and the turnout of women in the Los Gatos Ward was fabulous.
You are lucky to have so many young people in your ward. I'm mostly hanging with the YSA these days, but one of my friends from Saratoga just told me we only have one baby in our ward now. One! Kinda sad to think how things have changed.
