Sarah's Sprinkle!

Yesterday I hosted a "Sprinkle" for my sister Sarah!  She is having her 3rd child and it's a girl too!   Our due dates are only about 2 wks apart!  At first Sarah didn't seem to want a shower, but I told her that wasn't an option :-)  I told her we could just have a sprinkle, get it?  Like a shower only smaller.  I had SO much fun putting this together!  Words can't express how excited I am for my sister and her husband.  I'm also beyond THRILLED that Quinn with have a girl cousin to grow up with!  Sarah I hope you had a wonderful time and thank you for letting me throw you a party!!!!!!!!!  I LOVE you SO incredibly much!

Here are all the little details!

 This was the dessert table I set up!  There were glass vases filled with sugary goodness!  Along with a cake, Lemonade cupcakes with whipped vanilla icing, popcorn boxes with cocoa kettle corn, and purple peeps!  On each side of the cake there was a bird house I had painted to match the colors.  I LOVE  my knew cake plate!  I'm so excited to be able to switch out ribbon to match every theme!

Here are close ups of the candy vases and their labels.  We had M&M's, Sixlets, Grape Mike & Ikes', Gum Balls, Chocolate Twizzlers and Cookies & Creme Eggs!

Here is a closer picture of the cake I made!  Sarah wanted chocolate, so I gave her chocolate!  The bottom tier was a chocolate fudge cake with alternating layers of chocolate pudding and chocolate frosting.  Then each layer also had sliced strawberries!  The top tier was an orange pound cake with chocolate frosting.  The fondant was homemade chocolate fondant made from marshmallows!  The ribbon, birds and egg were made from MMF as well and then hand painted.

These were the take home goody bags.  To keep with the bird them I used a stamp with birds on it.  I lucked out with this stamp to.  It says "All you need is LOVE".  Sarah is a HUGE Beatles fan!  So this was perfect!  Then using brown ink I stamped Thank You at the bottom.  Everyone was invited to take goodies home with them.

 Here is a close up of the Sign I made for above the table.  Sticking with the bird theme and the fact that Ms. Indecisive still can't pick a name; it says "Tweet Lil Girl!"

 Here is the "guest" table.  I used a purple plastic table cloth and then put a piece of fabric on top of it.  It's hard to tell in the pic, but it's white with tiny purple dots forming stripes down the fabric.  On the table I place thank you cards and invited everyone to address them.  I had already written Sarah's return address on them.  So all she has to do is write in the card and stick a stamp on!

Here is the invitation that inspired EVERYTHING!  I also had two more bird houses and a bowl with pink and white swirled suckers.

Here is the guest book I made.  Inside there was a place for each guest to sign and leave their address.  There is also a gift log, space for Sarah to write her favorite memories and blank pages in the back she can put some pictures in.

Hanging from the tree were little tags that read "Tweet Wishes for Baby Capps".  Everyone was encouraged to leave a wish for baby!
