TRAVEL THEMED GIRL BABY SHOWER: YOU ARE OUR GREATEST ADVENTURE

When I found out I was pregnant with a baby girl, I instantly started planning my baby shower. I love planning parties, so this one had to be extra special. Being The Traveling Red and known for nonstop traveling, I had to incorporate travel into it somehow. If I had been pregnant with a boy my theme would have been planes, trains and automobiles, but for a girl it required a little more creativity.

The week after I found out I was pregnant with a girl, I was out shopping and came across a little sign with the saying, “YOU ARE OUR GREATEST ADVENTURE”. I instantly knew that was my theme. I envisioned a baby shower incorporating travel with vintage decor, tons of flowers, a beautiful cake, some pink (but not too much), and lots of lace.

It was beautiful day surrounded by the people I love most. It all came together thanks to my amazing vendors. My party planner, Sari Sosa Events, helped with every last detail and my photographer, Armando Rodriguez Photography, captured all of it beautifully. I will always cherish these memories.

There’s lots of other vendors, but I’ll share them as I go. If you’re in South Florida, I highly recommend all of them.

DESSERT TABLE

Let’s start with my favorite part of the baby shower, the gorgeous dessert table. The cake was made by Elegant Temptation (ET Cakes) and it was as delicious as it was gorgeous. I went back and forth with the cake designer until the design was just perfect. I had so many ideas and so many inspiration photos, and she knew how to bring them all together into the masterpiece she created.

Each layer was different from the others and had its own personality. The bottom layer was a vintage luggage with lace details, gold hardware and the most beautiful little luggage tag reading precious cargo. The second layer was round and covered in lace with a monogram surrounded by flowers. The third layer was a world map in the most perfect blush tone. Finally the top layer was an open vintage box with flowers and pearls falling out of it and a bow on top.

After the cake was designed, I shared the colors and design with my favorite desserts company, O Pops by Angie. Angie is so talented and always blows me away with her designs. She made a combination of cupcakes, cake pops, rice crispy treats and chocolate covered oreos to fill our trays that perfectly matched the cake.

DECOR

For the decor I knew I wanted a mix of flowers, lace, girly details and vintage decor. My mom and I love throwing parties so we have collected lots of decor over the years. For this party we used a mixture of pieces we own and some we rented from Mi Vintage. I envisioned a table with vintage plates, so my mom and her friend spent weeks visiting every thrift store in Miami to find enough vintage plates for $1 each. Our tables all had mix matched beautiful vintage plates, which really added to the look. My mom now has a huge collection of antique plates at home.

As for the rest of the decor, we used Leyani Wedding and Party Services for the linens and Hitched Event Rentals for the tables, chairs and glassware. Last, but certainly not least, Landy Flowers by Giraldo brought it all together with beautiful florals throughout.

FOOD STATIONS

For the food I wanted to stick to our theme of world travels. I decided on small portions of different cuisines from around the world. We ended up with 4 different cuisines for the food… Italian food, Caribbean food, Spanish food and Arabic food.

From Italy we had a pasta station where each person could design their own pasta with selections of noodles, sauces and toppings. Then from the Caribbean we had tostones made to order with different Caribbean toppings, such as shrimp enchilada and rope vieja. The Spanish station included a carving station of Jamon Iberico, a charcuterie board with a large selection of cheeses, croquetas and a spanish tortilla. Finally the Arabic station offered falafels, a mezze platter and stuffed grape leaves.

Most of the catering was done by Events by Bea, but we also had several items purchased at specialty stores.

GAMES

I honestly hate baby shower games and didn’t want any, but everyone insisted I must have some. We compromised, so we did our version of “games”.

The first “game” that definitely wasn’t a game, was Words for the Wee Hours. Let me explain. I set up a table at the entrance with a box of diapers, colorful permanent markers and a sign giving directions. The sign read, “Words for the Wee Hours, a word of encouragement a chuckle or two, give the new mom and dad a note just from you, pick up a diaper & write on the booty, something to take their mind off the Doody!” The idea was to have everyone write a funny message on a diaper to keep mommy and daddy entertained when changing diapers late at night. You know new parents go through tons of diapers, so this is something entertaining, while still useful. You can never have enough diapers.

The other “game” was more of a game. We had funny facts about my husband and I put on a sheet of paper and each person had to guess if the fact was true for mommy or daddy. Then we went through them one at a time while my mom and mother-in-law stood up front and raised their hand if it was a fact associated to their child. It was lots of fun and we certainly laughed a lot.

GIFTS

Before people left they were asked to grab a giveaway on their way out. To continue with the travel theme, we had a luggage tag with a special message attached to it.

BOOKS FOR THE BABY

One of my favorite parts of the baby shower is the book collection my daughter now has from it. Included in the invitation was the little card (picture of it below) and it asked everyone to bring a book with a personalized message for the baby written inside instead of bringing a card. I collected over 100 books with special messages inside. Charlie has the best book collection and we read them all the time. She got so many different books, even some in Spanish, which she treasures. It’s such a great idea that I highly recommend for any upcoming baby showers.
