So, something amazing happened last month.
My mom hosted 2 baby showers for me. They were Peter Rabbit themed. And incredible. And perfect. And I absolutely loved them.
How great does my mom look for being a grandma-to-be?!
And even though my mom was in charge, I may have taken over a couple of the details because I’m a control freak like that. #sorrymom
As guests came in, we had a Peter Rabbit book as the guest book with no-bleed sharpies (very important!).
We also had our first game – one of my faves- the Don’t Say Baby game. To jazz up the clothespins, I added these adorable baby bottle stickers by Jolee’s Boutique.
For the tables in the backyard, we did rounds with chiavari chairs (my fave!) and this BEAUTIFUL linen from La Tavola.
For the food, we went with a veggie inspired menu – Peter Rabbit was all about sneaking into the garden afterall.
We had little sandwiches (all pescatarian friendly!), assorted salads and a make-your-own-veggie-tray station with lots of vegetables, hummus and ranch.
For dessert, we had two cakes (two is better than one, amiright?) from my favorite bakery – SusieCakes in Newport Beach, CA! We ordered the luscious lemon and southern red velvet. Heaven.
We also ordered petit fours and delicious fruit tarts from Assal Pastry in Irvine, CA. SO incredible.
For the second shower, we had another red velvet, bunny-themed cake from SusieCakes. #addicted #imayhaveaproblem
But it’s adorable, right?!
Now onto my favorite part of baby showers – GAMES.
I wanted to try out a new game – Fruit of the Womb. Matching the fruit/vegetable that corresponds to each week in pregnancy..not easy, my friends!
The winner correctly guessed 8…8 out of 34 guesses. So definitely a tough one – but it’s gender neutral and all it requires is the gamecard (printable at the end of the post) and a pencil! Plus it’s kind of fun to torture your guests for 10 minutes..
The second game we played was Guess the Baby Food!
(Printable below)
This is another torturous game (I mean, have you tasted the the green beans they make babies eat?!) – but again, so fun for me to watch people play.
For the baby shower favors, we gave my favorite little candles by Voluspa. They had the perfect light blue and white candles – and as a bonus, they smelled SO GOOD.

How much do you charge for the peter rabbit guest book.
I purchased the book at my local Barnes and Noble – here’s the link: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-further-tale-of-peter-rabbit-emma-thompson/1109363529?ean=9780723269106#/
Would you mind sharing the ingredient lists for the sandwiches you served? They look great.
Hi Tammy, yes! They were awesome. Very easy to assemble! Smoked Salmon Sandwich: smoked salmon, cream cheese, chives cut long. Tomato Mozzarella: Sliced Roma Tomatoes, Sliced Mozzarella, basil leaves and a balsamic vinegar drizzle. Tofurkey Pesto: Tofurkey brand deli slices, Provolone cheese, Pesto from Trader Joes.
Love the food spread! Do you know where she got the veggie trays and brown boxes to hold the food??
Thanks!
Yes! The mini veggie trays are from Party City, part of their “mini tasting” collection. They’re technically chip & dip trays. (https://www.partycity.com/mini-clear-chip-and-dip-trays-10ct-677757.html?cgid=tableware-serving-mini-tasting)
The little veggie containers were berry baskets from Etsy. I’ve also seen them at Oriental Trading. (https://www.etsy.com/listing/458246224/24-quart-berry-baskets-strawberry-basket?ref=related-2) and the paper liners were from amazon. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018IG4Z7Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) But I’m sure you can find cute paper liners in any color or pattern you need!
Let me know if you have any questions 🙂

I got them from Party City but I just checked and it doesn’t look like they carry them anymore 🙁
