Classic Winnie the Pooh Baby Shower

I wanted to share with you the Classic Winnie the Pooh baby shower that was given to me by my mom back in May. Everything about it was amazing! She put so much thought into every detail and I could not have asked for a more wonderful shower. She based it off of the nursery that Brian and I did for the boys and many of the decor pieces are displayed in their room.

She had two different desserts- one was a beehive cake, which she made using a very neat beehive mold. The other dessert, was cupcakes from a small ice cream and cupcake shop near my home called Sweet Mellisa's. They made a Lemon-Berry cupcake and a chocolate cupcake with a bee on top. I of course had to try all of them and they were all very good.

A fun detail she did was used glass milk bottles, which were Starbucks frappuccino bottles, for beverage cups. My mom had purchased a couple cases of the Starbucks beverage at Costco and since she does not drink coffee, it was up to my dad and sister in law to drink them and I think by the end they were pretty sick of frappuccinos. A couple other things she made were Tigger Tails and bars of honeycomb soaps, which were used as party favors. She found those fun ideas on Pinterest. I was so excited when she made a '100 Aker Wood' sign out of an old wooden pallet that we could put in the boys room. Also to my surprise and delight, she made another sign that said  'we made a wish and two came true.' I fell in love with this saying after we went through our IVF treatment and it was so perfect for our two little boys.

 

 

Another fun idea and game she did was scratch off beehive tickets. Every guest got one and which ever beehive revealed 'Pooh' won a prize.

 

This was so much fun for the guest to do during the shower and they were a fun thing to bring home for the boys to wear through out their first year. For a long time I had wished to be pregnant and to start a family with Brian. After such a long struggle, my mom wanted to give me a wonderful and fun shower; and she definitely did! I was blessed with not only an amazing baby shower, but also some AMAZING gifts. I could not of asked for a more.

Twin Boy Nursery in Classic Winnie the Pooh

It seems like this pregnancy has been flying by and now we are a few weeks into the third trimester and final trimester. The final countdown has officially begun! Although I am quite nervous about 'D-Day', I am also very anxious and excited to meet these two little guys. I wanted to share with you our finished nursery. We decided to do Classic Winnie the Pooh for the theme and its mostly thanks to my little niece who I bought a Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal for when she was born. I fell in love with the soft toy and almost didn't want to part with it. So that is where my love for Classic Pooh began and wanted to have it as a nursery theme.

We were not planning on buying brand new cribs for the boys, but we found these two matching cribs and matching dresser at Buy Buy Baby. They had just been discontinued by the maker so they gave us an amazing deal we could not pass up. The crib bedding was purchased off Amazon along with the decals and mobiles.


After my first baby shower I received a lot of really neat things to decorate the room with, but we had  no where to put them. We found this awesome 9 square shelf system at Meijer and it worked out perfect for displaying everything. It really completed the room along with our favorite Pooh saying above it.

My husband found and bought this really neat 'Hunny' pot lamp off Ebay. I thought it was
so neat and just had to have it for the nursery.






 

I hope you enjoyed our '100 Aker Wood' nursery and I look forward to showing you the awesome Classic Pooh baby shower that was given to me and the twins.
