ready to POP shower

February 2, 2011

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

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!

    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!

          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!

      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! ๐Ÿ™‚

      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.
