One event that stands out was a baptism. The grandmother was planning a small get together after the baptism of the new little addition to her family. She had everything under control…the food, cake, and invitations. All she wanted was one small table decorated for the cake. We wanted to personalize it, so we framed a couple of pictures of the baby. We decorated with candles, a blue tablecloth, and made a blue and white flower arrangement. It may seem like no big deal to some people, but for us, it was exciting to be a part of this special moment.

Here is what the client had to say about N-joY!

I just wanted to thank you again…Paige was so pleased with the table, all thanks to you. You did a GREAT job and thanks for helping to make this such a special day for Paige and Baby Luc!

Baptism Table Decor

All they are…oversized clothespins and wooden cut-outs. The cutouts are already painted and ready to go at your local craft store. Just pick out a matching color and paint the clothespins. I think these photo holders are what got the most compliments. Although the centerpieces didn’t scream “baby” they were very girly and cute. Again, super easy. Crystals, tiny styrofoam balls, and silk flowers, all bought from an arts and crafts store. Bright colored ribbon, flowers, and crystals were put out everywhere to give pops of bright color.

The frame was from the same craft store and served as a welcome sign and to direct guests to the guest book.

We also made a diaper cake to dress up the gift table, which was surprisingly easy to do and will be the topic of the next blog! Decorating with the bright colored ribbon and some equally as bright baby items, allowed us to tie the cake in to the overall theme. We also got a lot of compliments on this. Big bonus…it’s a great present for mommy-to-be!

This whole shower was put together for a little under $400 (minus the cost of the facility). Making the centerpieces and some of the decorations helped to save a lot of money.

Also, invitations were do-it-yourself. While it does take a little time to print them out yourself (especially for detail oriented people like me) it cuts out a lot of cost. But, if you find good, quality cardstock, most people won’t even notice. In fact, everyone thought these were printed at a stationery store! As long as you’re willing to put a little work into it, you can throw a nice party with a tight budget.

Here’s what Natalie had to say about her shower:

The shower was beyond anything I ever imagined. Everything was so beautiful. Everywhere I turned there was something fun to look at, they put so much thought into even the smallest details. It was personalized just for me and I will never forget it!   ~Natalie
