I had so much fun planning this diaper shower for my best friend Tasha and her second baby. We had the shower a couple of weeks before her due date, so the theme really made sense becuase she was literally about to pop! I searched online for several ideas and when I found this one, I was thrilled. I borrowed many ideas from various sites, but made them all my own. Feel free to use any idea you see, I love to share! Post a comment and let me know what you think!
Most everything at the shower had to do with the word POP! The diaper cake was an exception, but was a cute centerpiece since it was a diaper shower. Some other decorations I used just for a POP of color:)

LolliPOP topiary! I used one large bag of Dum-Dum lollipops and cut the stems in half. I stuck them into a 2-tiered topiary stand (with my 40% off coupon from Hobby Lobby). To fill in the gaps, I used the other half of the sucker stems and stuck in squares of tissue paper/colored tulle. I bought the bucket from Target at their Dollar Spot. This cost me less than $20 to make! A great gift and centerpiece!

POPart and the baby's initials (Myla Jane Cooper). These glass jars were from Michaels for a buck a piece. The flowers were on sale and were pretty cheap too! I stuck tulle in the jar and taped coordinating ribbon on the necks of the jars.I painted the initials with the coordinating colors. The POPart was a pic of Tash that I took on our cruise and just changed the color settings and had them printed. I taped them onto a piece of posterboard to make her own piece of artwork!

I made a POPcorn bar including flavors such as parmesean cheese, kettle, butter, and carmel. I used ribbon to accent the containers and spruce it up a little:)
|
 |
We had a fruit and veggie tray (POP in something healthy!), rice krispie treats (snap, crackle,and POP), POProcks, cheesecake POPs, lolliPOPs, and more.

| There are several tutorials online on how to make diaper cakes. Instead of decorating it with baby things, I opted to make it look a little more classy and used ribbon, tulle, and tissue paper as accents. I then put large flowers on top as the 'cake topper'. |
 |
I made these cheesecake POP's using the recipe from Bakerlla.com. They were yummy, but very messy to make! I stuck them in a bowl with foam on the bottom to keep in place.

Chew some Bubble gum and make it POP!

| LolliPOPs!!! |
|
The color scheme included kiwi green, aqua blue, and hot pink! You can change out the colors depending on the sex of the baby. She was having a girl:)
|
 |
I made these signs and little designs using Microsoft Publisher. I liked the starburst design because it looked like something was popping! (Soda POP, LolliPOP, POProcks, etc.)

| Baby Myla Jane! What a beauty! She was born just about two weeks after the shower..good timing:) |

great job!! I'm so glad you were inspired. It all looks wonderful.
HI! I am doing the same theme, however I am trying to do the labels and I can't find it on publisher, can you send or advise how you found it. Thanks!
The whole baby shower theme is really cute!
POP- baby shower!! Sounds too much fun for you all ladies. I am in love with the photos and the theme is seriously so much fun. I also would be hosting a baby shower for my sister-in-law and would use the carnival theme for this bash and going to book the prettiest LA venues.
