{real parties} a charlotte's web inspired baby shower

A few months ago, I had the pleasure of collaborating with a lovely new party planner, Heather Locker. Heather and I met after I commented on a discussion she posted on the Children's Party Network. Heather was planning a baby shower for Taylor, the mother of her future niece, Charlotte Emily. Heather had picked an adorable theme but was struggling to find party décor. I offered to help and we were inspired to create...


Don't you love the theme? Adorable!

Heather is a fabulous baker and created a "Charlotte's Web"
themed dessert and candy bar for the baby shower.


Charlotte's spiderweb was featured on the tablecloth and on the
plates displaying the Chocolate Covered Strawberries.


Wilbur, the pig cake, is so cute!
I love that he is covered in little pink marshmallows.


The sweet cupcakes were displayed on a silver tray
atop a clear bowl filled with pastel marshmallows
and topped with our Charlotte's Web Cake Stakes.


The candy bar featured Meltaway Mints, Strawberry Whoppers,
Pink M&Ms, Gummy Worms, Hershey's Kisses
and "Old Lady" Butter Mints.
We created custom Charlotte's Web Party Cards
for the candy bar using phrases from the book.


Heather made "Some Pig" Pops with pink marshmallows--yum!


Guests were asked to create a onesie or a bib for Baby Charlotte.


Baby food jars filled with kisses were the given as favors.
Heather attached our Charlotte's Web Thank You Tags
with fun coordinating ribbons.


Heather created a sweet celebration for Taylor
and her future little niece, Charlotte!
Thanks for letting us be a small part of this baby shower
and for inspiring our Charlotte's Web Collection!

Wilbur, Charlotte and the famous web of words!













The collection is perfect for a baby shower,
birthday party or a book club event!

I'm inspired to snuggle up with a good book. How about you?

Stay tuned to Oink! for more inspiration...
