Justification complete, on to the PARTY!!! We are planning a baby shower for a young mom at church. I was asked to work my magic on the decorations, which means make it look good on a budget of $0. The baby-to-be is a boy. I am such a girl party person, I was tempted to make this an honor the mom party and use my pink decorations. However, a little brainstorming about baby Paul, who is due in November and I came up with having an ALLIGATOR party!! I thought of Paul and then thought of fall (as in November due date) an that let to "In the fall, Paul" which reminded me of "Later Alligator". I never said it would make sense, but that is how my brain works. So here is the start to the invitation.
I figure we can fill in the details of the party on the top. I will use my projector to enlarge the alligator image onto a long sheet of paper and we can hang that behind the main food table at the party.
I still have most of the blue and green decorations that we used at Lydia's Under the Sea party. Throw in a few balloons, ask the people bringing food to use blue and green if possible, and keep my eyes peeled for any really cute alligator baby stuff.
I need to talk PJ into carving another watermelon, this time it needs to be an alligator watermelon!
If only I could find these guys! Apparently Toys R Us used to sell them and they blow BUBBLES!!! They don't seem to be on the website, so I am betting this Alligator Party was a while ago.
Hmmm. Maybe I will have to volunteer to bring the cupcakes. These are actually green fondant, with directions here, but I think they look an awful lot like those orange circus peanut candies. I wonder if I could dip them in green chocolate coating?
So, not a completely planned party, but my brain isn't really up to completing things today. Either way, we should be able to have a color coordinated, cute, alligator themed baby shower. Later, Gater!
