"Little Man" themed shower

Our sweet friends Mike and Allison are having a little boy and we decided to host a couples baby shower for them.  Since they are having a little boy and most grown men hate attending baby showers we decided to have a "little man" theme complete with mustaches, man food and no baby shower games!  I never thought I'd serve beef jerky and bacon at an afternoon baby shower but they were both a hit with the men!


Here are some of the details from the shower...

The wreath on the front door with the front and back of the invite.  The invite was made in Adobe Illustrator and the back of it was made with cardstock, scrapbook paper and buttons to look like a men's dress shirt.  The wreath was a pre-made styrofoam wrapped in brown ribbon.


On the way in, everyone could "Take a Stache" and wear it for the shower. Packs of mustaches can be found at Party stores and most dollar stores have them as well!

The food table complete with man food!


The backdrop (covering laundry room doors) with my altered onesies to match our theme, I found a pack of onesies that went with my color scheme and cut out ties and used stick-on mustaches to dress them up

 Some of the food with the captioned food tags (made using extra invitation supplies)




I went with simple green and white flowers from Whole Foods and cut them short.  I put them in a brown bucket found at Dollar Tree for the centerpiece.  The table runner was a strip of fabric bought at Hobby Hobby.
