Meet Mr. Mustachio:
Remember Amy of previous blogger fame? Well, she had another baby and this time it was a boy! Anthony Thomas came to greet this great big world in March and I got to help plan a surprise baby shower for the little man. The "sprinkle" (as I found out mini-showers are called in the mommy world) was mustache-themed and once we found out he was a little boy we sent out invites to get everyone excited:
I used wrap-around teal blue labels for the addresses and cut mustaches out of felt to adorn the top. The sprinkle was held at a local Mexican restaurant so I chose a font to complement the venue.
I used a vellum envelope so when guests received them they looked fairly inconspicuous from the outside but once you opened them----mustaches abound on the envelope liner! I believe in setting the mood.
Wax mustaches anchored white balloons that I adhered felt mustaches to. Why not?
"It's a boy!" balloons coupled with our Mr. Mustachio balloons were a perfect centerpiece for a restaurant "sprinkle"--quick, easy and good bang for your buck.
Our faithful friends all dressed up for the party, greeted our guests.
Mustache place cards and individual mustaches that guests wore when yelling SURPRISE! were set at each place setting.
Mini-staches were cut front felt and attached to straws for margarita sipping...
More 'staches topped delicious cupcakes for dessert..
And did you actually think I could resist a favor? Especially one as perfect as a popcorn ball adorned with a 'stache? After all, she did pop.
