Little Man Baby Shower!

Plaids, tweeds, mustaches, bows and ties – Oh Boy! This classy little man is on his way!

You guys this is a shower which will probably be enjoyed more by dads than moms. I had created this theme for Baby Malik few months ago and when talk of the shower for the awesome mama-to-be at our work went towards retro plaids and all, I thought of using this paper décor in the blues and greys to complement the shower colors for the new baby of the office family!

DSC_0704Throwing parties at work has its own limitations but when you are part of an awesome and creative team, the event becomes special with details! There was so much help for this baby shower to make the place look great and a lot of creative help too! Look at the neatly calligraphed blackboard, pretzel cigars – all made by my crafter work friend Heather! The awesome vintage cameras were from her collection too!! They go so well with the whole theme.

She does her magic with fonts and fabrics and the outcome is just so fabulous! You can send her a personal message here to order very customizable and charming pieces. She made a very beautiful sign for my home office which I will be sharing in one of my later posts. DSC_0710DSC_0708DSC_0709DSC_0721DSC_0699DSC_0694DSC_0693DSC_0695DSC_0717I loved making the paper décor. There were two flags, Little Man and Baby Perry (which can be customized to your baby’s name!) I also made little paper onesies in three different sizes to add details like cake toppers, centerpiece accents etc.

See you next time!

About Author

Hi and welcome to my blog!

My name is Riffat and I am the writer behind this blog. Through this blog I share many things I am enthusiastic about – my curated items from old era, passion for tea and tea parties, book reviews, glimpse into my occasional travels, some design and décor, DIY projects. I specifically like to create themed and seasonal parties incorporating vintage treasures.

I am mother of 3 amazing boys – the oldest is neuro-diverse and his being on the spectrum has given a different and incredible meaning to our family! I would be a very different person without him. Besides enjoying my family and this blog, I am a full-time speech and language pathologist.

After living in the sunny Arizona for almost 14 years, my husband and I moved the family to Frisco, TX few year back! In 2009, when vintage china and tea parties were gaining popularity, I ventured into the world of event rentals, offering my eclectic garage-full collection for vintage-themed gatherings - tea parties, weddings, showers and other private and business events. I had the pleasure of working with some amazing vendors in the event industry and got featured on many international and national blogs. While my initial focus was on the rental business, I eventually shifted gears to lifestyle blogging to encompass a broader spectrum of life's facets. In 2020, bidding farewell to the rental business, I returned to my primary profession. The transition prompted a hiatus from blogging, but now, with a semblance of balance restored (or perhaps just better time management skills acquired), I'm rediscovering the joy of penning down my thoughts.

Originally from Pakistan, I am a multicultural and multilingual person and enjoy diversity to its fullest. I welcome new things and ways and learn from them but believe in restoring and preserving as well. I love people who inspire each other, are successful holistically, spread positive vibes and make a difference in this world for themselves and individuals around them. Overall, I strive to be a very well-balanced person and this blog plays some part in achieving that!

I absolutely love to team up with creative minds! Feel free to contact me for collaboration ideas, guest blogging opportunities or any other fun idea!
