Meagan’s Middle Earth Baby Shower
This post should have gone up in May, but hey, read my last post to find out why it didn’t.
We put a lot of effort into making this baby shower special for Meagan and those who attended, and honestly, for us as well. Was it stressful? Yeah, of course. Events are always stressful for me, but they are fun, too. And I had a blast putting this one together.
Most of the party decorations buy ready made, when they look nice, are too expensive. Or then the store bought stuff is just plain tacky. Sometimes what you really want doesn’t exist. So we made our own.
Meagan and Rob like fantasy. They each have their own preference, because let’s face it, fantasy encompasses multiple, very different tastes. But they settled on a Hobbit/Lord of the Rings nursery theme, so we organized a Middle Earth shower.
Some of the stress, for me, came in boiling things down. I had so many different ideas of how to go. I found these really cool travel posters for Middle Earth that an artist had designed, which was one direction I’d considered. And if I ever plan another Middle Earth type of party, I may still go that way as long as I can get a hold of the posters.
We decided to go in a different direction. Here’s what we settled on.
Everything looks so great. We love all the food ideas and matching signs. We especially love the Lembas bread idea! Where did you get the Lembas bread paper leaves and the other paper/sign decorations?
Hi Beth. I’m glad you liked our setup. It was alot of fun putting together. I got most of my ideas from Pinterest. The leaves came from Amazon, but I just looked them up, and it seems the exact ones I purchased are no longer available. I’m sure Amazon has something similar. Here’s the link if you want to take a look. Leaf Cheese Paper. If that link doesn’t work, just look up leaf parchment paper for charcuterie boards. Most of the other signs we made with a Cricut machine. And lots of trial and error. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
Thanks Lianne, appreciate your response! We’re having a baby shower in June and as you can probably guess, the theme is “Tea for Two in the Shire”. This was a big help.
Oh, cool! You’re very welcome. It’s such a fun theme for a baby shower. I hope it goes well. Feel free to ask if you want any other ideas or clarification of what we did. After your initial comment, I took a look at the page and realized the blog part was invisible. So thanks to you, I reformatted it. 🙂
