Katrina's Honey Themed Baby Shower - A Beautiful Mess

This weekend I hosted a baby shower for my beautiful sister-in-law, Katrina. When we first started planning the shower Katrina asked if we could have the peanut butter and honey cupcakes that Emma made for my wedding shower?(they are pretty amazing). I loved the idea and decided to use the honey theme for her baby shower! Katrina is expecting a daughter in September and we could not be more excited! Here are a few snapshots from her baby shower...?

The invitations were illustrated by my pal Kelli Murray. I'm in love with the little honey details.?

The shower was held at my favorite local restaurant, Aviary Cafe and Creperie. They have the most delicious food ever.?

Here's the cutest story of the day... My six year old nephew was told by my mother-in-law that he was going to stay home for the shower because "baby showers are only for girls". He was a little upset that our niece was invited and he wasn't. He disappeared into the other room and came back with his own hand drawn invitation to the baby shower. It was so cute that he got to come to the shower... and all our hearts melted!?

Katrina had plenty of help opening her gifts... ha!?

The kids loved filling their bags with candy. I'm pretty sure this was their favorite part...?

The grownups took home honey favors. I made mason jars with vintage textile details on the lids and honey bears with feather bees.?

It was a very fun sunday afternoon. I love Katrina so much. I will never forget at my bachelorette party she told me about her baby fever and then the day we found out the good news! It's so special to see our family growing and it was wonderful to celebrate together.?XO. elsie?
