I’m loving this CIRCUS THEMED BABY SHOWER submitted by Jennifer Stolfi! The ferris wheel cupcake holder in the middle of the table is my favorite! Jennifer said this about planning the party- “This was a Circus Themed Baby Shower that I threw for my sister, Katie. She’s having a baby girl named Claire. A couple years ago I fell in love with and purchased a wrought iron Ferris wheel and have been dying to have a circus party! The Ferris wheel became the inspiration and focal point for the shower. I have a slight obsessions with crafting and party planning so most everything at the party was made by me from almost all the desserts to all the decorations. Decor: I choose bright fun girly colors of yellow, orange, hot pink, light pink and turquoise for all the decor and desserts. A colorful ribbon banner hung from the dessert table and we placed tissue balls over an old painting to create a beautiful work of art behind the table. I made elephant and giraffe pictures to hand on either side of this. These were a gift to my sister to hang in the babies room. Balloons, streamers and sparkly circle garland hung over the main room to create a “big top” and were used as decorations throughout the party. Spray painted gold animals we scattered all over the party right down to the cake topper and jars filled with peanuts and flags were used as table centerpieces. Food: All of the food was circus themed from pulled pork and chicken salad sliders, chips and dip, mini corn dogs, fruit kabobs, pretzel bites dipped in cheese and tater tots. The dessert table included Elephant sugar cookies, white powdered sugar donuts, cupcakes with cotton candy toppers, white chocolate covered popcorn, iced animal crackers, a gorgeous polka dot cake and an assortment of candy. Favors: The favors were pink scalloped boxes filled with frosted animal crackers. Game: Each guest drew and envelope from a basket that contained a picture of a baby. The lady who found the baby with “mama” or “dada”: picture on it won. The prizes were big clear bowls filled with all sorts of popcorn and chocolate lollipop lips and mustaches. To top the day off, my husband surprised me by buying our dog the cutest lion costume. The circus was complete with wild animals to help celebrate!” Vendors and Credits: Cake- Christine’s Cakes & Pastries Ferris Wheel Cupcake Holder, Ticket Rolls, Striped Paper Straws, Napkins, Ribbon, Paper Lanterns, Tissue Balls, Rock Candy Swizzle Sticks, Clear Cellophane Bags, Scalloped Popcorn Boxes- Kara’s Party Shop
