Mustache March baby shower

 Apparently "mustache March" is a thing. Luckily, Grant realizes that I hate him having a mustache and that he looks ridiculous enough that having one in November is plenty for the year. However, it does make for a fun baby shower theme, so Brea and I set out to throw a little man mustache shower for our friend Brittany. We were planning to have it out on my balcony, but the weather wasn't looking very promising, so we did it at Brea's house and it turned out beautifully!

Here are a few of the projects I worked on the night before...
Pretty proud of this one! The idea of the head I saw online, but it was stuck into a diaper cake, which I was originally planning to do, but I saw this cute onesie and though I could make a diaper man! So you saw it here first, one of the only things I've done in awhile that I didn't see on Pinterest first :)
I was also in charge of vinyl mustaches, cupcakes and a banner. I got a Silhouette cutter a couple of months ago and have been having some fun with it. Things like this are SO much easier now. I had it cut out the scalloped circles of cardstock, then I cut the mustaches and vinyl out of vinyl and stuck them on and taped them to a toothpick. Easy way to decorate the cupcakes :)
And I remember debating when we moved here if I should bring my cupcake stand or not...it's already been used 4 times in the 7 months we've lived here, so I'm glad I brought it!
Brea and I collaborated on this cute sign for Brittany's new little man. I remember seeing things with Rowan's name on them before he was born and making it seem so much more real that he was going to be joining our family. She loved the sign, I think it turned out so cute.
Brea did an outstanding job with the rest of the food, some delicious little quiches, a veggie plate, and doughnut and strawberry skewers...we ate well!
 
Played some low key fun games...
Rowan wanted in on the mustache action...the cup looks a bit like a unibrow and his sippy cup chicken grew a cute little 'stache ;)
We had a great time, a good turnout and I think Brittany felt love for her and a little guy...I'd call that a successful baby shower!
Can't wait for baby Desmond to make his appearance!
