One of my sweetest girl friends is expecting a precious baby boy very soon! Myself and the other staff wives from our church threw her a sweet southwestern fox themed baby shower this past weekend and I am obsessed with how it came out! The theme was simple: organic earthy colors, centered around a set of watercolor fox, owl and cactus prints that she ordered off of Etsy. (These exact ones, if you are looking!).
Our church has been utilizing a farm for service during this whole Pandemic and they have been kind enough to allow us to host events like this there. It was the perfect venue for this little shower!
Isn’t she just the cutest little mama?!
Our friend Crystal brought the earthy vibe with some canvas tablecloths, burlap and greenery from her home. We had guests fill out this sweet journal with notes to mama, and also write their address on Thank you card envelopes to make life easier on the parents-to-be!
The “barn” that we use is really just a large, open pavilion type of deal, so we had guests enter by this table and set up the gift table just past it. Some of the sweet girls went out into the fields and picked wildflowers to fill vases around the barn, which could not have been more perfect!
A simple whitewashed crate brought some dimension to the desserts! The sugar cookies were our party favor, and we placed those in a simple seagrass basket like this one!
I, of course, made the cake and cookies! I have taken a major step back from my baking business, but I truly enjoy doing things like these for my friends and family! Hand painting them for the watercolor effect is my favorite anyway, and it matched perfectly her prints!
They are made using my no-spread sugar cookie dough (recipe here) and viral royal icing recipe. The fox is done with this cute little fox cutter from Ann Clark, and the cactus is done with this one!
I have actually ordered Snake Plants from Amazon and been super happy with them! You can’t beat the price!
Again, how sweet are these prints?!
His round name sign was made by our sweet friend Lauren with White Flag Design Co. Check out her Insta to see some of the other amazing ones she has done and request a quote!
The journal is so sweet and special. I know Morgan will cherish it in the days to come.
Lauren found these cute little fox napkins on Amazon (here) and they worked out great!
At Morgan’s request, we did grilled hot dogs using this awesome portable grill. I am 100% a fan of simple food, and these were great!
You just can’t go wrong with backyard barbecue food! Watermelon, chips and hot dogs all the way!
LOVE this sign by White Flag Design Co.
What’s a baby shower without a little blind baby food taste test?!
We had so much fun throwing this little get together, and the details were so simple but came together amazingly well! Love you, Morgan! We can’t wait to cuddle sweet Ashby!
