Brown and Pink Baby Shower Decorations

by Jan

The package of brown and pink baby shower decorations that I used to decorate were called the Pink Wild Safari Kit N Kaboodle kit. This kit had everything (and then some) that I needed to throw a baby shower with eight guests but when I saw how CUTE the supplies were, I went into full party mode and ordered personalized candy bars, party favors and mylar balloons because they were just too cheap and too adorable to resist!

THE KIT N KABOODLE PARTY KIT
Ordering the brown and brown baby shower decorations as a kit not only saves money (40% discount!) but time and as we all know; time IS money!

In the basic kit, you get 8 of everything (twice that number of napkins) you have to have including the:

•Dinner Plates
•Napkins (16)
•Large 9 oz. Hot/Cold Beverage Cups
•Thank You Cards
•Chocolate Brown Plastic Cutlery Set
•(12) 11" White and Pink 11" Latex Balloons (12 each)
•(1) White 54" w x 108" Plastic Tablecloth
•66' Curling white ribbon that I used to decorate the balloons and my own personal gift box!

I'm not sure why the party kit includes thank you notes for the gifts and no birthday party or baby shower invitations but hey, it's still a really good deal.

If you order the DELUXE Kit N Kaboodle Party Kit you get everything that comes in the Basic Kit-N-Kaboodle PLUS:

•(1) 10" x 30" Party Banner
•An eye-catching Wild Safari Pink Metallic Party Balloon
•(1) 81' Chocolate Brown Crepe Paper Streamer and an 81' White Crepe Streamer

for just $10 more.

All that is exciting enough but since the basic decorations, party supplies and tableware were so cheap you can go WILD now with the touches that will give your baby shower or kids' birthday party pizzazz!

PERSONALIZED PINK and BROWN BABY SHOWER FAVORS
The favor boxes that matched our decorations were so precious that I just had to have them. They had the same pretty, pink elephant, zebra and giraffe pattern as the decorations PLUS the "baby shower" medallion surrounded by polka dots and a chocolate brown ribbon to secure the favors inside. And once again, they were so inexpensive (on sale) at only $2.49 for a package of 12! When have you gotten 12 of anything for less than $5? Now, what did we fill our amazing favor boxes with?

PERSONALIZED CHOCOLATE CANDY BARS
My co-hostess and I wanted a saying for the personalized candy bar wrappers that went beyond the traditional "Congrats" or "It's a Girl!". We could have reduced the size of the font and had a short verse or poem printed on the wrappers but this wish says it all!




PERSONALIZED MINT TINS
I love the personalized pink and brown mint tins best of all because they can be used over and over reminding our guests what a great time they had at our party!
We added some tubes of pink, chocolate flavored lipgloss to the personalized favors, tied the ribbons on the boxes into a bow and called it a day. I would say that since our guests have already called to ask where they can find the items that we put in the goodie bags that we made excellent choices.




PINK and BROWN BABY SHOWER CAKE
If you have dropped by my site looking for baby nursery themes, free baby stuff or baby shower ideas you already know that I don't claim to be nearly as talented or creative as the incredible moms behind the pictures in our gallery. But when the brown and pink decorations from Shindigz were delivered, I was so inspired I decided to jump in and try my hand at making my own pink and brown baby shower cake decorated with polka dots and a big, pink fondant bow! To be honest, the cake had one bad side but the fondant camouflade did a great job of hiding it and I learned that making your own fondant baby shower cake is CHEAP compared to buying one ready-made! Plus, I was able to tint the fondant to match the colors of the brown and pink baby shower decorations perfectly!
