Ooh, La La! Bonjour! Cherie! Amour! Je t'aime! (Did you just read that in a cheesy french accent like I did? haha.) No matter how much (or how little) of the French language you know, you have almost definitely heard these french expressions and greetings. What comes to mind when you think of Paris in the spring? Romance? Love? Beauty? How about these words? Croissants, Eclairs, Macarons. If your mouth isn't watering yet, just think about those delicious french indulgents a little longer!! Exquisite french wine and cheese (or grape juice for the mama-to-be), baguettes, sipping tea at a delightful little french cafe table! All of this "joie de vivre" (joy of life) can be rolled into one special baby shower, and you can read a little bit about it here on today's blog!
A Parisian Baby Shower has endless possibilities! Think pink and black to get your decor ideas started. This beautiful chalkboard design is soft and romantic, and compliments so much! Of course, you can have it customized for your own special little person ( or their mama,) but today we are showing you this invitation for Bebe Sophia! Please enjoy scrolling through the photos to stimulate your own ideas for your upcoming special occasion!
I found the perfect Eiffel Tower card stand for just a few dollars to highlight the invitation, which of course can be part of your decor that day! You could also use it to prop up your napkins, or show off photos of the baby or mama-to-be!
Floral elements, and other black and white accents, (and this little clock ball on Parisian time) are other lovely props you can add into your theme decor.
Tea or wine accessories, rustic but simple banners, pretty jewelry boxes can all be collected to support your colour palette for the day!
There are endless food ideas including the above mentioned croissants, wine, cheese, baguettes, tea, coffee, and other french pastries. I have recently seen beautifully made cookies that were Eiffel Towers, "I Love Paris" and the baby's initials all gathered together on a tray. Check your local baker's and see if they can custom make these for you too!
Don't delay in ordering your invitations! For only $16.00 for a set of 12 printed invitations with white envelopes, they are the starting point for any great party! If you would like coloured envelopes (like the pink ones shown on the blog) a $9.00 upgrade fee will be added onto your order. All invitations are printed on high quality card stock, and a proof is sent for your approval before hand! They will arrive to you 5-7 business days after purchase. If your prefer to print yourself, you can purchase the printable file for $15.00 and that includes all personalization and the proof within 24 hours.
I will leave you with one last fun idea for the special day (because no shower is complete without some entertainment!) Why not set up a photo booth for your guests? Use a french beret, umbrella's, feather boas, dark sunglasses faux pearls, perfume bottles, a french baguette as props,and a back drop of the Eiffel Tower for your guests to create some hilarious memories of the day!
