Pickles and Ice Cream Baby Shower

On Saturday, I helped host a baby shower for my younger cousin April. She’s always loved pickles, so much that she’ll even drink the pickle juice from an empty pickle jar.  So when I started thinking about themes for her shower, I was immediately drawn to the “pickles and ice cream theme” that I’ve seen pinned all over Pinterest.

Here’s some photos from the event and you’ll find the menu at the end.

Baby Shower Decorations

I made the pendant garland myself from scrapbook paper from Michael’s.

We had a great turnout and April got a  lot of great gifts!

Me and the mommy-to-be…I guess that makes two mommies-to-be. 🙂

This shower was a huge joint effort and  I think we did an awesome job.  Everything came together so well and the food (which I personally think is the most important part) was excellent.

I can’t say thank you enough to everyone who helped me with this baby shower. I definitely could not have pulled off anything like all by myself.
