Carnival, Circus Baby Shower

Along with several of my favorite friends/industry pros, we created a magnificant baby shower for Aymee and Paul Brace, who also work in the wedding and event industry. While discussing the baby shower over a plate of Elephant Ears, the theme sort of fell into our laps (or at least the powdered sugar did). We knew that a Carnival/Circus themed baby shower would be perfect for Aymee and Paul, who were "all about" some fair food!

The shower took place at the Palmetto Club at Fishhawk Ranch, which is actually where Aymee and Paul were married. The room was filled with lighting and custom draping to resemble the inside of a circus tent. Guests enjoyed an assortment of carnival foods such as mini burger and bar-b-q chicken sliders, mini hot dogs, shoe string fries and sweet potato fries, fried mac n cheese bites, Churros with powdered sugar, cake lillo-pops, gourmet popcorn, snowcones, cotton candy, cake, and much much more! Our MOMosas and Baby-Bellini's were also a huge hit. The female guests Oooo'ed and Ahhhh'ed over the adorable baby gifts, while playing baby bingo. The males took full advantage of the carnival games set up around the parameter of the room, which included the diaper toss, ring around the bottle, the crane game, balloon/dart game, and a life size Wii Carnival game. To top off their sugar high, guests were given caramel and candy apple favors as they departed. What a great way to welcome beautiful baby Kellan into the world!
