Mustache Bash Baby Shower

Last Sunday was a big day at our house. 

To celebrate the coming of my oldest daughter's fifth baby, but first boy baby, we threw a 

Mustache Bash Baby Shower

A quick Google and Pinterest search brought up scores of great ideas.

Here is the invitation I made using PhotoBucket.

I simply uploaded a blank jpeg to this online photo editing program and 

had a blast using their free tools to make it pretty.

Please excuse the unattractive areas where I covered our personal info,

but you get the idea.

Games & Activities

Everyone filled out one of these I made and printed up on cardstock.

We played Name That 'Stache....

How many can you guess?

...and Pin the 'Stache on the Baby.

Besides mustaches we had cut outs of bowties and hats.

Funny how the mustaches ended up in the bowtie spot.

Decorations

Little Man Onsie Banner

I printed images found online to iron-on transfer fabric, then applied them to onsies.

They are hung on heavy yarn with clothes pins.

Bowler Hat Mobile

This plastic bowler came from U.S. Toy and cost around a buck.

Again, yarn and construction paper shapes for fun.

My son attached it to the beam using sticky tack.

Food

Okay - you're going to have to forgive me, but I had an epic blogger fail.

There are no pictures of the food! What was I thinking?

Well - I wasn't thinking. I was busy. 

Anyway...here is a description of what we ate:

 mustache-shaped sugar cookies decorated with green sugar crystals or chocolate sprinkles
mustache-shaped chocolate lollipops
popcorn tossed with crumbled chocolate chip cookies, green M & M's, 

all drizzled with melted white chocolate & allowed to cool
crackers and mustache-shaped cheese (I used the cookie cutters to cut the cheese slices)
bbq sauce soaked l'il smokies

Pictures

Of course, we took lots of pictures (just not of the food apparently).

We had props available for the photo shoot:

mustaches on stewers, funny glasses, a cane, and a couple hats.

Hope you don't mind looking at pictures of my family and friends! :-)

Here's the lovely momma-to-be, my daughter, Sarah.

I was totally excited to find this frame at Goodwill for $5!

It has a brown velvet ribbon around the center and fancy curlicues in the corners!

I feel another project coming on....

My Dad and Sarah

Sisters!

No, the party didn't get too wild. This is our bonus-daughter who stopped in on her way to work.

Baby's Grandma, Cousin and Aunt

The little ones are Sarah's three oldest girls.

Me and my friend.

My sis-in-law & my stepmom - Baby's Gigi :-)

And here are just a few of our friends...

Thanks for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed the party.
