Today I’m featuring the ELEPHANT BABY SHOWER I styled for my sister.
My sister has always loved elephants…so when it came to choosing a theme for her shower I had no problem! I wanted it to be bright, cheery, modern and fun. I had a pink color scheme, and also incorporated the pink chevron stripe into the mix.
I used a lot of ribbon, painted tubs to look like elephant steps, hung a painted vintage frame, placed flowers in apothecary jars, strung painted peanuts as a backdrop, used a changing table and a high chair as part of the setup, had a ‘make your own italian soda’ station, tied ribbon around cute drinking glasses and more.

Fondant cupcake toppers made by Two Sugar Babies
Mini cheesecake bites…
The favor tags read, “Animal crackers just for you…Elephants and friends from the Zoo. Thanks for coming!”

Kara- this is SO fabulous!! I especially love the pink peanut garlands!
Can I ask what the rolled up food is? It looks wonderful!
Fabulous!
That is an awesome idea and all of that is gorgeous. How would you cater a baby shower like this though? I have looked into this catering concord nc company, but I'm not 100% certain that I want to go with them. What can you suggest?
Stunning!! You just keep getting better and better. This is my favorite party by you to date!
Perfect Pink Peanuts!! Darling Pink Party!!
Did you paint the high chair and changer? Where did you get them? This is a gorgeous shower! What a lucky sister!
how sweet!! I love pink elephants :)
This is a wonderful party.
Thank you so much!! I'm blushing! You are all so sweet.
Nicole- The food you're asking about is strawberry shortcake rolls…I purchased them from a local bakery.
Anonymous- I found the high chair and changing table on craigslist.com. They were old & brown…I painted them :].
I just love that cake..every thing is just stunning!
What a beautiful baby shower! Love all the little details that make it extra special!! What a lucky sister you have.
Simply gorgeous and are you kidding me with the pink peanuts…brilliant!!!!
I was too busy drooling over this amazing party yesterday and forgot to leave you a comment. It is amazing. Every single detail is fabulous!
I can't get over how AMAZING this is!!! Holy moly, I love it! You did such an amazing job and had so many creative ideas!!
so so AMAZING! love your feature on the e-glossy!
Amazing work! Can´t believe you actually painted the peanuts!
What a delightful looking baby shower! Did you hand paint the peanuts or spray paint them? Either way you are dedicated and very talented!
The wall behind the table is beautiful. The shortcake in a jar and the mini cheesecake bites are a great idea. Very creative!
I am in love with this table! Absolutely gorgeous!! So well done!
You did a fantastic job!
Wow! This is beautiful! I wish I was half as creative as you!
I love it! Everything is so cute and creative. I'm curious where you got (or how you made) the string of cut-out elephants that are hanging with the peanuts. And where did you find the elephant straws? Beautiful job!
How did I miss this? Kara you knocked it out of the park! I love every single detail
I just stumbled over to you're blog/website from Pinterest and have to say I am SOOO impressed. This has to be one of the best sites I have been on. I love it! So many great ideas, my heads spinning a little lol :)
