ready to POP shower

Since we met, my friend Allison and I have been wanting to throw a party together. Our friend circles don’t overlap very much, but we are both good friends with Brittany, a dear friend (who is also an amazing photographer!) and pregnant with their first little one. We knew as soon as she told us she was expecting that we would be throwing her a shower together.
Our shower theme- “She’s Ready to Pop!”
Menu: POP rocks, lolliPOPs, jalepeno POPpers, homemade POP tarts, soda POP candies, rice crispie treats (you know- snap, crackle and POP), ring POPS, tootsie POPS…
…cake POPs
….and my personal favorite, a POPcorn bar.
decor: strands of balloons (cause they pop), loads of tissue ball pom poms (hung in clusters to resemble fireworks popping in the sky), “pop” labels (they were everywhere!) and a sign celebrating our little guest of honor- Cooper Ames
favors: bubbles in our shower colors. (yes, because bubbles POP!)
shower “game”: In lieu of a guest book, we printed cards with different things to “hope” for little Cooper (I hope you become, I hope you feel, I hope you never, I hope you always, etc.) and had guests fill out their hopes for the little man and sign their names. We displayed these wishes on ribbons in the entryway.
What a fun day celebrating this new life- can’t wait to meet him!
DO you guys host baby showers for a living? This is seriously the cutest thing ever!!! You had me hooked with Cat & the Hat – and now this?!! Amazing!
That shower is fantastic! I love your popcorn bar!
My blogger friend and neighbor (http://salutations-mayt23.blogspot.com/) sent me this post today and I have to say that I'm just in love. I love the containers or popcorn, I love the colors, the theme, the name… everything!
So sweet!

You are seriously so clever. I adore this theme. So so darling. (And thank you Kirstin for your email back :)!)
I'm fairly positive this is the cutest shower I have EVER seen. I love the colors and the attention to detail and all the fun food! I want to replicate it in every single way. But no one around here is ready to pop!!!
What a FUN idea for a shower! Love all of it!

Awwwwwwwwwwww….this is so beautiful to see and fun to imagine 😀
I think this might be my favorite shower EVER. I can't wait to copy you.
of course I won't do it as well.
Absolutely darling! I might have to steal some of these ideas for a baby shower in late spring. A POP theme is just genius! Thank you for sharing this beautiful event.
What an original idea. And executed brilliantly!! I.LOVE.it!!!

Thanks!
kirstin
I don’t see where this is available on your etsy shop, but I would love to buy the download! Please advise!
Hey Jen! I have the hardest time keeping these in the shop (someone just bought one right before your comment posted, so the shop was empty). Anyhow, I listed TWO of them, so you should be able to find them now!
I love this! It is so creative and cute! Where did you get the invitations?
Hey Tasha! Thanks!
Jordan made all of the graphics- we get so many requests for them that the PDFs are in our etsy shop- http://www.kojodesigns.etsy.com. I have a hard time keeping them stocked, so if you head over and they’re out, know that they’ll be up again soon! 🙂
Are you going to be selling the invitation PDF anymore? If so, where would be the best place to print them off? Thanks!
Hey Stephanie, I listed another couple of sets in the etsy shop (kojodesigns.etsy.com). If it isn’t available when you go to buy it, just email me or leave and comment and I’ll get another one listed for you! 🙂
Also, most people print them from their home computer- but I’ve heard good things from people who’ve used Kinko’s as well. 🙂
Hey Kristin! I would also love to buy the invitation download-are they still available in your etsy shop? Thanks!
Alissa
Im throwing a baby shower for my best friend could you tell me how to do the invitations, bubble tags and the hope cards? My email Courtneyh0424@yahoo.com
Thank you so much,
Courtney
Hey Courtney, I sent the info to your email- the printables are available in our etsy shop- kojodesigns.etsy.com
Do you still have any of this theme left? Im having my friends baby shower in August and Im needing to order some
Hey Courtney- I am out of the country with sporatic internet access. I have access for the next 12 hours, but then am unsure about the status for the next 4 days. If we have access, I will relist some of the pop showers and email you. If not, I think we’ll have internet access on the 21st for a few days.
Beautiful decorations! Where did you get the color popcorn? I’m planning a baby shower with the theme Ready to pop and I think the color popcorn is a great idea. Let me know please.
Hey Rossi, thank you! I think they got the popcorn at a specialty shop in Dallas, but I have seen recipes on pinterest for making your own as well!
I would love to get the recipes for the popcorn bar as well!! Everything is so cute. I have my printables and have sent out the invitation. Just putting together the menu…can you email me at prickman@wesed.org ? Thanks!
Hey Patti- we just bought the popcorn! I’ve seen recipes on pinterest though! 🙂
