A Baby Shower for Mary Mathews: Inspiration

My best friend Elizabeth is due with a sweet baby girl named Mary Mathews at the end of April. She is the first one out of all of us to have a baby, so of course I am just so excited. I love Miss Mary Mathews already, and I of course adore her mama, so I wanted to show that by throwing them a baby shower! It is going to be at my parent's house in South Carolina on March 10, and I.cannot.wait.

I started collecting baby shower ideas for both girls and boys on Pinterest when she first told me she was pregnant. Jumping the gun, I know, but hey, I was a tad bit excited! When they found out that little peanut in her belly was a GIRL, I kicked the shower planning into high gear and found a lot of inspiration pictures to set the tone for the shower. I went back and forth a million times after finding so many gorgeous pictures on the rabbit hole known as Pinterest, and after way too many wasted, I finally figured out what I wanted to do.

Here is an idea board I made with some of my favorite inspiration pictures. I decided on the theme "Girly Rustic Vintage with Lots of Pink and Lace" (Yes I know that makes no sense to anyone else but my crazy brain.)

I am absolutely loving all things kraft paper and burlap right now, so I will definitely be using a lot of both things in all aspects of this shower. I also have always been and always will be obsessed with pink, so there won't be a shortage of that, either! :) There will also be tons of pink flowers in mason jars and my vintage milk glass vases, a million monograms, and some really yummy food! Speaking of food, I'm going to try making some delicious pink macarons...I hear they are difficult, so we shall see!
