So along with the corny food names that you saw in the party food post, I also love corny little poems. If you ever found my book of middle school poems I wrote, you would laugh your face off. My husband almost died when he came across it. Anyway, on the table with the favors & the diaper cake, I wanted to include an unofficial guestbook for Ba-Bee White for everyone to sign & write little messages in. I searched for a cute bee book. As seemed to be the theme with this shower, it was not easy to find. The closest I could find was "Because a Little Bug went Ka-CHOO!" No clue what that bug actually is & it probably isn't a bee, but oh well. That's what we went with. I had some leftover scrapbook from my banners I made, so I used it to make a backing for my "poems". I had some black frames around the house, so I just temporarily removed the photo & taped in the scrapbook paper with the little poem written in. It was a fun little way for everyone to have the space to write what they wanted to & will be a great little memento for Ba-Bee White to keep on the baby bookshelf.
In case you can't read that little gem above, it says "Everyone is buzzing about meeting Baby White, But let's stop for a
moment to share and write, A welcome wish or a simple hello there, A hope, a
dream or how much you care. Please write on the front, the back or the pages,
Something that Ba-Bee White can treasure through the ages".
Also on the table with the guestbook was the diaper cake and the favors. The downloadable party printable set I had bought on Etsy included Thank You cards. Since I had already used my favor tags to decorate the food table, I decided to tie the Thank You cards to the favors. I just hole punched them & tied them to the jars with some cute ribbon. Speaking of the jars, as a way to say, 'Thank you for buzzing by!", I went with mason jars filled with cookie mix. I had seen the idea on Bakerella (here) & thought it was pretty cute. This was not the best project for me since it required a lot of measuring of ingredients to get the layers right. I did the best I could & just kept the worst looking jar & hid it in the pantry. Everyone who has made the cookies has given great reports, so I guess I didn't do too bad of a job with the measuring. I didn't include the pecans because I don't know who might die of a nut allergy & I didn't want to chance going down for involuntary manslaughter over some nuts. : ) Before closing the jars, I put some bee fabric on top. After tying the Thank You's to the jars, I was all done. I typically like favors that you can either eat or drink, so this is a pretty good option. Especially if you like measuring...a lot.
Here is a shot of the entire gift/favor/guestbook table. : )
