Colorful Candy

Lily Shop

When Jessie of Lily Shop was having a baby, her loved ones went above and beyond by creating a special 'I Love Olive' baby shower theme (inspired by the classic "I Love Lucy" TV show). One of the cutest things they included were paper cake boxes printed with 'I Love Olive' for guests to fill with candy.

Guests wore the bow ties during the actual shower, and then everyone took them home to gift to husbands, their own baby boys, fathers ... whomever was deserving enough of such an adorable and thoughtful gift.

When Courtney of Pizzazzerie was expecting her own little bundle of joy, the theme for her shower was "Pink, White & Roses"—so it only made sense that guests were sent home with flower pots filled with baby roses.
