DIY baby shower

This past weekend I hosted a baby shower
for one of my best friends.

She's due in April and I'm seriously so excited.

I was the first friend to get married
and this will be the first friend to have a baby.

Here's a few pictures from the day.

I kept the cost of the shower at almost $100
by using things I already had lying around my apartment.
 There were also some DIY's, thrifting purchases, and dollar store finds

  to help with the budget!

The "table cloth" is just a piece of fabric
I purchased for $5 at a fabric store.

I wrapped hemp around the top of each mason jar, 

some I found at a thrift store and

then I purchased a 15 pack at our local grocery store for $12..

simple and my new favorite vases!

I made this banner with a Cricut, the best investment you'll ever make
if you enjoy crafting and scrapbooking! I used paper that I already had
and the hemp I've had for years. Total cost of banner: $0

Extra decor around the house and colorful food.
gumballs were from the dollar tree, pitcher from the thrift store, $2 I think
and baby blocks were $12 for a HUGE bag full that I can use
for future maternity photo shoots!

 I used a TV tray as a small table for one of the games.
The pen holder is just an old yankee candle that I rinsed out,
works perfect as a vase too!

Well I hope I gave some of you fun ideas for future parties
or just decor around the house. I have a lot of this stuff up in my
house still because it's all so cute and great for springtime!
