Make your next party, shower or special event so cute and unique by customizing it with special DIY touches that make it personal and one of a kind. There are so many fun themes, ideas and simple details that you can create that are very inexpensive and actually fun to do. Pinterest is filled with themes that are so different from the standard themes back in the day for baby showers and tons of great ideas. The key is finding the supplies and executing those cute ideas and Canvas Corp Brands is the perfect choice for you party, shower and wedding supplies that will help you bring your ideas to life. Mix and match papers, lace, burlap, colors, textures and blanks to create just the right look.
This sweet elephant themed shower is a perfect example of simple touches that are so easy and help take a simple theme to the next level. Start with the cake and maybe even matching cookies. Your baker may specialize in both giving a nice selection for your guest. Pick up plates, napkins, cups and stares, along with snacks and maybe candies in the same theme colors. Choose a single color to hold all the goodies such as white ceramic, milk glass, black or clear. The pieces don’t have to match but they help to create balance across the entire display and tie things together.
Canvas Corp Brands was excited to be a part of this sweet baby boy shower for a special mom and her first little one. You can decorate the gift table, the food and cake buffet and even the mantel to create a cohesive look without the need for balloons and traditional decor that scream party, this more subtle approach looks great and is fun to do. Gathering the props is so much fun and adding details that are not permeant, so when the event is over, things can go back to normal.
Here are some details to consider when hosting your next shower, party or special event:
Make your invitations – so often we spend hours making one handmade card, but we jump in the car or onto the computer to order invites for a shower, party of event. Making your own invitations is so easy to do and is a fun way to share the theme with your guests. Simple is just fine, using the colors of the party with fun layers of paper, adding who, what, when, why and where to the invite, which can be typed on the computer or handwritten depending on the number of invites. You might consider adding a fun note to bring books instead of cards for the little one or maybe recipes for your favorite dinner or baby food.
Decorate focal spaces – what fun it is to decorate a mantel or table for the event. You can decorate it with a very specific theme or you can gather fun objects and display them together such as vintage baseball gloves, dad’s tie when he was a little boy, baby shoes, etc.
You might not have a wide range of baby décor, so gather some boy things, home decor pieces, papers, bottles, frames, candles and add your own touches.
Create this simple Baby Boy Paper Bunting with an assortment of different cardstock papers – you can find a complete selection of papers that you can mix and match to coordinate with your theme and color story. – Canvas Corp Papers.
Make your own Baby Guest Book – store bought guest books have no personality and are not geared to a particular event or occasion except for weddings. Choose a cover and 2-3 sheets of Journal Line paper and stitch or staple them down the middle and decorate the front. Leave on a front table to be signed by each guest. You might make a small sign and ask them to sign and leave a special message for the parents to be.
Make a Gift Book – keeping track of the gifts is always important at wedding and baby showers, why not create a book to match the theme and present it to the mom to be so she has it close at hand when writing her thank you cards and aso has a nice memory of the shower.
Jazz up your food display by placing sheets of 12×12 or die cut papers under fruits, veggies, cheese, crackers, etc. Scrapbooking papers add color and help tie the theme together. You can add small banners around bowls, jars, etc. Paper is a great inexpensive way to decorate with a fun DIY look that is so much cuter than store bought decorations.
Gift Table Décor – let your guests know where to place the gifts with a fun sign and a little display. Use everyday objects and add a touch of ticking or a little banner that matches the rest of the décor. Choose everyday objects and wrap them with a touch of burlap, jute or paper to make them part of your display.
The Cake and Cookies – maybe you are having one or the other or both, what fun to place your desserts on coordinating papers or adding a fun saying like these cute Canvas Corp sayings from their baby boy collection.
Mini Banners – Punch, die cut or cut different shapes of papers, using up all the papers and scrap to create fun little banners and putting them together with jute and mini clothespins.
Thank You Notes – a great gift from the hostesses is a set of handmade thank you notes that are a nice reminder of the shower and you can set a time before the shower to make them together. They can all be alike or make a set of unique cards that are fun to fill out and send.
