Sweet Baby Feet Invitations
The Sweet Baby Feet Invitations are gatefold and feature stripes, scalloping, gingham, and some cute little feet inside. Slide them into envelopes and drop them in the mail about a month before the baby shower. If you’re feeling crafty, you can also make your own DIY Sweet Baby Feet invites . Here’s how:
Supplies:
- 4.5″ x 6.5″ card stock
- Paint – use blue, pink, or a gender-neutral color
- Lace ribbon
- Glue
- Scissors
- Printer with ink or calligraphy pen
- 4.75″ x 6.5″ envelopes
Instructions:
- On one side of the invitations, use your computer and printer to print the party details. Or, if you’re skilled at calligraphy, write the party details.
- Use the side of your hands and paint to stamp “baby feet” on the other side of the invitations. To make baby feet with your hands, ball your hand into a fist, dip the outside of your hand in the paint, and stamp your hand on the paper. Use your right hand for the right foot and your left hand for the left foot. Use your finger tips to make toes above the feet. Wash and dry your hands after each invitation. Let the invitations dry.
- Cut the lace ribbon into 6.5″ strips and glue the lace strips below the feet.
- Address the envelopes, slide in the complete invitations, and send them out around four weeks in advance!
Sweet Baby Feet Decor
Go classic and simple with your sweet baby feet decor with the following ideas:
- Tie a helium-filled Sweet Baby Feet foil balloon on the mailbox or outside your front door so your guests know they’ve arrived at the correct address.
- Create a focal point in the room with a pretty dessert table. Fill it with candies and sweets that match your party color — either pink, blue, or green. Cover the table with a white lacy tablecloth and serve everything on white milk glass for a very sweet look. Above the sweets table, hang a Sweet Baby Feet Giant Banner.
- Cover the tables tablecloths that match your pink, blue, or green color scheme. In the center of each table, set an arrangement of white flowers. Hydrangeas, peonies, and dahlias are all lovely for a baby shower.
- Mix and match our Sweet Baby Feet serveware with your own silverware and china. For example, use our Sweet Baby Feet Dinner Plates and napkins, but your own bone china dessert plates, depression glass berry bowls, crystal stemware, and silverware.
Sweet Baby Feet Baby Shower Food
To cut on cost and simplify your baby shower planning, throw the shower mid-afternoon so you don’t have to feed your guests an entire meal. Focus on simple, but tasty finger foods and salads, such as tea sandwiches, crudites, and a berry salad. As mentioned earlier, fill a dessert table with candies that match the baby shower color, and also be sure to bake up some baby feet-shaped cookies, with help from our baby footprint cookie cutters.
Sweet Baby Feet Baby Shower Games
With a classic baby shower theme, it only makes sense to go with classic baby shower games! For one, give each guest a length of string and have them cut their piece of string to length they believe is the same as the mom-to-be’s baby belly circumference. Whoever is the closest wins!
Baby shower bingo is another classic favorite. For this, give each guest a blank bingo board and ask them to fill in each square with a gift they belive the mom-to-be will receive. As the mom opens her gifts, have the guests mark the items they guessed correctly. Whoever gets a row filled in first wins! Continue to play during the entire gift-opening portion of the shower.
Sweet Baby Feet Baby Shower Favors
Thank your guests with a little special something! Fill a goody bag with votive candles, travel-size hand lotion, gourmet tea bags, and a little something that ties into the shower theme, such as these baby footprint bookmarks.
