Hot Air Balloon Baby Boy Shower

This hot air ballon baby boy shower was such pleasure to do and was super easy too!

I planned a super cute Hot Air Balloon baby boy shower for my niece and nephew for their first baby last weekend and it turned out great!

The star of this baby shower were these darling hot air balloons that I made.

Decorations

The decorations were super easy to make using paper lanterns, bakers twine, scrapbook paper and mini metal white pails. I hung them from the ceiling using fishing line and push pins.

Tutorial for how to make these cute hot air balloon decorations is here.

I also strung some white balloons together using fishing line to create a “cloud” effect hanging above the hot air balloons.

Simple Brunch Food

For the simple brunch food I served mini quiches that I bought in the frozen section at the grocery store. Donut holes from the bakery.

A simple veggie tray and asparagus wrapped in puff pastry with a yummy dip. Recipe for asparagus wrapped in puff pastry and dip is here.

I always like to include a tiered tray filled with lots of colorful fruit.

Little chocolate elephants and yummy mini lemon cakes from Walmart!

It was really pretty simple with very little baking involved which is super helpful when planning a baby shower.

You don’t want to be baking and cleaning up when guests arrive.

Centerpiece

For the centerpiece on the table I bought 2 dozen white roses from Costco.

Then I found this adorable little stuffed elephant that matched the Hot Air Balloon Baby Boy shower invitations we used from Greetings Island.

My sister drew the darling elephant and congrats on my huge chalkboard to welcome our niece to the party. You may remember this chalkboard at my daughters wedding where we served hot dogs! It was soooo fun!

I also did another fun baby boy shower with an Indian tribal theme a little while ago that has some really fun food ideas.

Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

  Hi Sandra,
  I don't think I have any Italian recipes on that post. I did talk about wrapping asparagus with puff pastry and that recipe is here https://karinskottage.com/2021/03/how-to-make-pastry-wrapped-asparagus.html
  I hope that helps.
