Superhero Baby Shower

My friend Angela is having a baby in August. She and I have been friends since before Kindergarten and our families have remained good friends over the years. We used to play house all the time. If she is a Mommy like she was back then with our dolls, I know she is gonna be great :)

I had the chance to throw her a baby shower while I was up visiting for my little brother's graduation. She wanted a Superhero theme for the shower. Lots of people came and she got tons of awesome stuff. I love baby showers. You go from having nothing to having TONS of stuff. It is great :)

The backdrop was made from 4 blue poster boards taped together, paper medallions of all different colors and sizes, and little superheros and word expressions glued to the medallions. (The superheros I got from here and the word expressions from here.) 

The centerpieces used those same superheros, paper medallions, a vase, tissue paper, and a patterned piece of scrapbook paper for the vase to sit on. 

We had a taco salad bar for the food. With it also being graduation weekend, we didn't have much time for cooking and this worked out perfect. So easy and it tasted so good. 

Angela wanted to have a diaper raffle and I can understand why... diapers are so expensive:) So for each pack of diapers someone brought they were entered into the raffle. The prize was a free pedicure or manicure at a local salon. My sister-in-law (who helped a ton with the shower) made this cute diaper cake.

We also played a game of mom or dad. I had the soon-to-be grandmothers send in information about their child when they were young. Then I made a questionnaire and had the guests chose if they thought the question was about the soon-to-be mom or soon-to-be dad. 

This was the sign-in table. My friend made the Carter sign. It turned out so cute but everything she does always is perfect :) We also had a book for "Super Mommy Advice" were people could leave some advice or well wishes for the Mommy. 

I think it all turned out really cute. Thanks to all my family and friends who helped out! Can't wait for baby Carter to get here! 

P.S. I am sad we didn't get a good picture together of the pregnant lady and I. We both share the same birthday, which happened to be on the day of the shower. So they sang happy birthday to us. The only picture I have of that was really blurry though :(
