JENNI'S CONCERT THEMED SHOWER

HIP HOP HOORAY! A baby boy is on the way!
Jenni is due soooo soon with her second baby, Remy! Don't you love the name for a sweet baby boy by the way? Two great friends, Lori Mahon and Lauren Rauter, co-hosted with me. We decided to throw a concert-themed baby shower since Jenni currently thinks at one point thought she could be a country singer, and her husband Gabe a singer/performer/song writer (and for that matter Lori, Lauren's husband, and my husband are all in the music industry as well! It is Nashville, after all). A nod to 90's hip hop, Jenni's love of country music, and concert references mixed together to create our decor.

It all started with the invitation, designed by Lauren of Rock Paper Scissors. Actually all of the paper materials you see here were all printed by Lauren. Geez it's handy having a graphic designer bestie.
Concert posters, concert ticket garlands, and DIY marquee lights were the main decor, offset by cassette tapes and a boom box I got off of Ebay and spray painted gold!
Below is a DIY cassette tape mobile! I spray painted an embroidery hoop and cassette tapes gold, then used fishing line to attach. Command ceiling hooks held up perfectly.
For food, we did all concert food: hot dogs, nachos, soft pretzels, popcorn, and soda all held together in a food tray so it was easy for guests to carry around. 
Note the music themed names we gave all of the food... we crack ourselves up.
 Custom painted scoops sold on our Etsy shop.
Jenni's fav Sugarfina gummies in the shape of sneakers! Perfect for our hip hop theme!


At every shower we throw, we like to have the guests write their address on the envelopes for Jenni's thank you notes! Saves a ton of time for the mama-to-be.
Of course, we have the diaper cake - tutorial HERE - topped with baby Nike Dunks, Jenni's request for her baby boy!
For favors, Lauren made these little boom boxes wrapped around an animal crackers box.
 Being a Love & Lion shower, we had to have a tattoo bar :)
Big sis-to-be, Amara, helped open all of the prezzies.
 Gorgeous mama Jenni!!
We LOVED throwing you this shower, Jenni! You're already an incredible mom, and we know you're going to be a pro with two. Love you!
