Tea Party Baby Shower

I threw my best friend Hannah a baby shower this last weekend. She's having a girl so I decided to do a tea party themed party, since that seems pretty girly. Here are the crafty things I did for the shower:

A lot of diaper cakes are really fancy with things sticking out of the cake like baby items and stuffed animals. I wanted Hannah's diaper cake to be simple and pink so I just got some fabric and tied it around the rolled up diapers and tied a bow. Simple. Easy. Pink. Perfect.
I found these letters at Joann's and covered them with Mod Podge and then this cute pink paper. Her room will be pink and green so I added a little green bow to the "I".
I found these vintage tea tins on Ebay and put fresh flowers in them. I made chicken salad sandwiches, cucumber sandwiches, and cheese/olive/pickle kabobs. Since we don't drink tea, I served different flavors of the Archer Farms Italian Sodas from Target. I had a lot of help from some other women- one friend brought adorable mini cupcakes with pink swirly frosting and another brought a fruit bowl with a fruit dip. I took these pictures before the food was on the table- once the food goes on the table, things get crazy.
I got these tea pots at Goodwill and just put the leftover fresh flowers in them and put them on the coffee table.

It was fun to put everything together. Who else wants to get pregnant so I can do another baby shower?
