I recently had the honor of co-hosting a baby shower for a close friend who is having her first baby girl in December. She had selected a black and white toile fabric to create the nursery bedding and curtains. We thought this would be a perfect, classic look to carry over to the baby shower! Of course we just had to add the touches of pink for the baby girl! We started off introducing the theme of the shower with the custom made invitations I designed. You can now find the invitation listed in our Etsy shop. The invitation has a touch of black and white toile along with a simple pink baby carriage to give it a chic look.

The food menu include brunch type foods with mini quiches, muffins, fruit salsa, vegetable skewers, deviled eggs, and chicken salad croissants. Guests were offered a selection of pink lemonade, orange juice, water, or coffee to drink. The tables were covered with black tablecloths and white serving dishes were used to carry out the black and white theme.

The dessert table held a few simple desserts – strawberry cupcakes with strawberry buttercream icing, cinnamon bun cake balls, and various cookies. The cupcakes and cake balls were made by me. Family members made the various cookies offered. I made a ribbon back drop out of strips of black, pink, and white fabric to add a punch of color.

For a creative shower activity we offered guests the opportunity to decorate white onesies or bibs for the new baby girl. Guests were offered a variety of fabrics to chose from. I printed out various animal shapes for inspiration. Guests could use fabric markers to decorate with as well.

Guests left with a personalized tic-tac shower favor to remember the event by!

The collection of printables used for this Toile Baby Shower can now be found in our Etsy shop! Having a boy? I can change the colors for no charge!
