This past Saturday, I had the honor of throwing a baby shower for my good friend Brittney, along with her mother and a good friend of the family that traveled up from Hilton Head with Brittney’s mom.
Brittney’s nursery is done in peach, creams, and browns and she has a lamb theme. So we decided to go with a similar look for the shower, but with a brunch theme. So technically her shower was a peaches n’ cream, lamb-themed brunch. It was a lot less complicated than it sounds.
Britt’s mom and I both shared the responsibility of cooking and I tackled the decorations.
Lanterns: Luna Bazaar
Diaper Cake: Handmade by me and my best friend, Candace using ribbons and silk flowers from Michaels and stuffed lamb from Marshalls
Cupcakes: Homemade by my Aunt Tonya
Peach Polka-dot Straws: Etsy
Garland: Handmade with paper doilies from Michaels and ribbon.
Baaaaaah!
Aren’t they adorable?
I found a photo of this doughnut hole tree on Pinterest months ago and knew I just had to recreate it for Britt’s shower. It was super easy to make with a styrofoam cone and toothpicks, but it holds many more doughnut holes than I thought it would. This is about 60-70 Dunkin Doughnut Munchkins.
Brunch Baby Shower Menu:
Ham
Cheese and Egg Bake
Roasted Fruit
Mini Whole Wheat Biscuits (recipe within the post)
Chipotle Pimento Cheese
Single-Serve French Toast Cups
Doughnut Holes
Lamb Cupckaes
Mimosas
Orange Juice
Decaf and Regular Coffee
Ice Water
For the French toast, I simply made a generic French toast recipe, then cut the pieces in fours on the diagonal. I found this small plastic cup at Michael’s, filled them about 3/4 inch of maple syrup and balanced two pieces on the cups.
After having our fill of food, we got on to the most important part of any baby shower — the gifts!
Brittney got tons of cute and useful stuff! I feel like every time I go to a baby shower I learn something that my future baby will need that I’ve never heard before.

I think the shower was a great success. We had a fun group of girls who are all very friendly and chatty so there was never a lull in the party. Every moment not spent eating or opening gifts were spent catching up or getting to know the guests.
Before I left, we shot a few shots outside.

And last but not least, the lovely mommy-to-be and I.
I had such a wonderful time throwing this shower. I got to be crafty and creative, while helping honor one of my favorite people and her baby girl.
Awww, love this post 🙂 Thank you SO SO MUCH! You really out did yourself, everything was so cute, beautiful, and tasty too. I’m so lucky to have just a generous creative friend!
It was a blast! And I am equally lucky if not more to have you as a friend. So glad you enjoyed yourself. You deserved a special day to honor you and your little one.
What a sweet baby shower for such a deserving mom-to-be!
I couldn’t have said it better myself. 🙂 Brittney will be a great mom.
I had a great time! The food was delicious – you did a great job with the shower! So excited for Brittney 🙂
Thanks so much Emily! I’m so excited for Brittney and also for you too. 🙂
Kelly,
I really enjoyed meeting you and you did such a beautiful job on the shower…fun working with you. Love your blog also. I made your chicken and spaghetti squash recipe tonight substituting leftover turkey and adding mushrooms and onions. Delicious! We will try your chicken curry soup next!

Hi Lois! It was really nice to meet you too. Thanks so much for all of your help at the shower and thank you for the kind words about my blog. I hope you find some more recipes that you like here. I love to hear feedback (good or bad) so please let me know how they turn out if you make anything.
Everything looks so great! Love the cupcakes- they turned out so cute! Looks like a great day 🙂
I’m sad you couldn’t make it. 🙁
I am in love with those lamb cupcakes and the way you did your French toast! Looks like the shower was a success.
Thanks Cathy! Most of it (like almost all of it) came straight from Pinterest. 🙂
Everything was so lovely! It was such a fun shower with such amazing eats & great friends!
