It's all in the details - Country Shower Decor (Part Two)

As you read in part one, a party is all about the details. This is the continuation of all the crafts that I have accomplished for the upcoming Blue and Yellow Country Bridal Shower. The next task on my to do list was the banners. My original thought was to make them pennant style similar to this, but after careful consideration of wording and layouts I decided a distressed look with a black background and jute rope to hang them would be best. With my moms handy dandy Cricut machine, the cutting of the letters was a breeze and I went to work distressing, gluing, hole-punching and hanging them

All done and ready to hang

The next item was to figure out a way to make the silverware seem a little more inspired. I took a simple clothespin, and tied some curling ribbon to the end. I will clip the silverware together with the clothespin either to the bandanna napkins or just lie them on top. How we will set it up is still up in the air.

All of them

The next couple of tasks were completed by my friends mother. She took raffia and wire ribbon and tied them around the mouth's of the mason jars to add a pop of color and dimension. She also tied fabric ribbon around the flower filled mason jars that we will use for the centerpieces and various items around the space.

In process of being ribbonized!

Centerpieces done!

Then of course was the assembly of the S'more kits. I knew I could get the hubs to help because he would get a s'more or two out of it. So we went about wrapping the chocolate and and assembly line of stuffing, putting on the Thank you tags, and the raffia bows. I am so excited as to how CUTE these babies turned out!

Of course will all the yummy goodness that is going on, I had to make some signs for the guests to know what is what. (not like they wouldn't know, but again.....all about the details!) Again with my trust Photoshop and cutter I went and I distressed them too!

Everything is coming together! I can't wait to see the house decorated and the bride to have the shower of her dreams! Stay tuned!
