Tiny Dancer Baby Shower

I had so much fun planning and hosting this "tiny dancer" aka ballerina themed baby shower for our sweet friends Kristin and Nate. Kristin was a ballerina so we went with the ballerina or "tiny dancer" theme which meant lots of PINK, tulle and ballerinas! I thought grey would be a good accent color so it wouldn't be too much pink (if that's possible)!

Details:

Wreath: Handmade using a twig wreath from Hobby Lobby, crepe paper, pink tulle, the invite and extra cupcake toppers.

Silver "Wishes" Tree: Handmade using a few branches cut off a tree in the woods nearby and spray painted silver.  I added some embellishments mostly found in the scrapbooking isle in Hobby Lobby

Tulle Pom Poms: Handmade using this tutorial I found through Pinterest, I changed it up a little to make some different sizes though

Centerpiece: I borrowed some of my mom's pink crystal glasses and bought some flowers at a local florist.  I just cut the tops off and floated them on top of some water. I found the ballerina silhouette at Hobby Hobby and decided to stick it in the center last minute.

Cupcake Toppers: Handmade using this tutorial.  I also added the tulle on top of the crepe paper to make it look more like a tu-tu

Fabric Banner: I've seen these everywhere and decided to make one.  I bought some hem ribbon (not sure of the technical term for it but ribbon that has a fold in the middle) and bought some fabric that matched my theme.  Then I just went to town cutting fabric triangles and hot glued the fabric into the ribbon.

Ballerina slipper cookies: These were purchased from a local bakery called Pink Magnolia.  They do the best job and I believe they ship to other states as well.

Tags and Signage: I had these printed at a local print shop called Perfect Printing.  I designed them on the Mac and brought in my flash drive for them to print them.
