My friends and I planned a baby shower for one of our grad school classmates, Lindsey, and her husband, TJ. We had a blast exploring favor, decor and food ideas for this circus-themed party. Since Lindsey and TJ are expecting a little girl, we decided to focus on a red and teal color scheme to celebrate "their little peanut." Below are pictures from the event. Enjoy!

Welcome to the Big Top!
I attempted to turn my living room into a circus tent. |
 |
In the future, I would hang addition tulle to create a more dramatic circus tent look.
You live and you learn, though. |

I made pin wheels for the first time. They were so easy!

Whew! That was a long post. Thanks for hanging in there. There were so many fun pictures to share with you. I hope you enjoyed browsing the party recap. Happy Sunday!
LOVE IT!!! My daughter Jamie is expecting and is planning a Circus Nursery if it's a boy. Too cute - we'll be copying your ideas. :)

Pattie,
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear you enjoyed the ideas! I personally love the circus and had a ball planning this shower. I think it will be a great theme for a nursery.
If you and your daughter are interested, I would love to showcase pictures of the completed nursery. I have posted on features on several of my friends nurseries.
Feel free to email them to me.
Thanks again for taking time to check out Simply Sarah Style.
Hi Sarah, I stumbled upon your blog when searching for circus themed party ideas for my son's first birthday! And I'm pretty sure we have some mutual friends (from Highlands & nKY!), so I thought it was pretty cool that your blog came up in the top 3 on google. May use your tulle idea to create the "big top" if we have it inside (this June). Thanks for the ideas :)
