Waddle It Be? Reynolds Baby Shower!

I was so excited to get to plan a baby shower for my friend Laura. And something else that made it really exciting is that they are waiting to find out the gender of their baby until birth, so i needed a gender neutral theme! I found ducks on pintrest and fell in love with the all the bright yellow! One thing that i was really excited about was the floral arrangements. Putting the lemon in the mason jar added that natural boost of yellow to the flowers!  photo DSC_01812b.jpg I had asked our mom to be her favorite cake and she told me it was salted carmel cake that her family had all though her childhood. Naturally i was terrified i wouldn't live up to expectations, I used a recipe from , for the salted carmel frosting and it was sooo good!  photo DSC_0139b.jpg And then there was our onsie banner! i used twine and clothes pins to hang theme oriented onsies in from of a modified ribbon banner. instead of ribbon i used burlap. I am very pleased with how that turned out. what do you think?  photo DSC_0142b.jpg To keep the theme going I made Almond Shortbread duck cookies! They were adorable and delicious!  photo DSC_0140b.jpg  photo DSC_0149b.jpg  photo DSC_0148b.jpg  photo DSC_0145b.jpg I am so pleased with how this shower turned out!
