We had the best time showering my dear friend with a Wildflower Baby Shower theme. Her little Wildflower is on the way and we can not wait to meet her!

Invitation
I always like to start with the invitation and use that as inspiration to create the rest of the theme. I used Etsy for this invitation and sent the invitations electronically. For printing, we typically use Costco or Walgreens or print right at home on card stock. For the best deal, check out the Entire Wildflower Bundle Package of digital printables here.
Drinks
We made both an alcoholic and non-alcoholic sparkling sangria that was so delicious and refreshing. We dressed up the drinks by making floral ice cube molds that guests could put on the top of their coup champagne glasses, along with fresh mint they could pick right off the vine. See How to Make Edible Floral Ice Molds here for all the details.
We dressed up our wine and champagne bucket by creating oversized ice cubes with wildflowers frozen inside. This was such a fun and easy way to decorate and chill the beverages. Learn How to Make Flower Ice Cubes here for all the details.
Food & Dessert
We ordered the food from both The Fresh Market and Whole Foods from their catering department online. It was such a simple process and the food was delicious! This event was in the summertime so we opted for chilled, refreshing food, including chicken salad croissants, shrimp cocktail, grilled and chilled vegetables with balsamic vinaigrette, fresh fruit, and Mozzarella caprese.
The cake was the Chantilly cake from Whole Foods and it was mouth watering good! It is so fresh and light, the perfect summertime dessert!
Our cookies were of course from the infamous @soozcakes and were just as delicious as they were beautiful. They also served as the party favors, as they come prepackaged when ordered ahead and shipped!
Decor and Florals
Since the theme was Wildflower, it only made sense to dress up the space with tons of beautiful florals. We found these perfect wildflower arrangements at Trader Joe’s for an excellent price! I highly recommend their florals for any event. We arranged them the night before to save time decorating on the day of the event.
We printed Wildflower quotes and put in frames around the space. We also had a large Welcome sign printed at Walgreens that we displayed near our games we played outside.
We created a beautiful hanging floral backdrop the we hung from our outdoor pergola behind the gift opening area where the Mom-to-Be sat. Check out our post on How to Make Hanging Floral Garland, including a video tutorial, to see how we created this beautiful backdrop.
We dressed the outdoor tables with flowers and chiffon table runners to keep things simple, beautiful, and on theme.

Activities
We ordered pre-printed Wildflower Baby Shower game cards from Etsy that matched the invitation. We played The Price is Right (Baby Shower Edition). This is a great game that the host can incorporate as part of their gift to the Mom-to-Be. You can put together a gift basket of the items on the card and play the game while the Guest of Honor Opens that gift.
The winner of each game took home a beautiful pink perennial wildflower plant, pictured below, as we felt that was very on par with the theme.
Finally, we printed prediction cards and family tradition cards that the Mom-to-Be took home to read later.
Party Favors
We ordered specialty ordered cookies from @soozcakes (who ships nationwide), individually packaged as the take home party favor. Sooz Cakes offers an option to order them individually packaged for this purpose. You can also order them way ahead of time and freeze them, which I strongly recommend. You can message her on Instagram @soozcakes to order. Just set them out at the party or the night before and they taste fresh baked once thawed to room temperature.
We hope you loved our Wildflower Baby Shower. For more party ideas check out the Events section on our blog here!
