Simple Woodland baby shower

Hi Everyone :) SO my gorgeous beautiful pregnant sister had her first baby shower a couple Saturdays ago. It was beyond fun exciting to be able to help her celebrate one the the greatest moments in her life. I am so over the moon for them and absolutely can't wait to meet their beautiful darling baby boy. Patriot and him will only be 6 months apart, which is crazy to think!

We ordered a beautiful birch tree looking cake from The Knotty Pine Bakery in our area. It is a 3 tier chocolate cake with salted Carmel and chocolate ganache fillings in-between each layer. With buttercream frosting all over. IT was absolutely stunning! I was so impressed with them, the cake turned out DELICIOUS (or so I heard, it had dairy in it). The service was so impressive. I literally told them I want a birch looking tree with this flavor and they nailed it.

However, because its me lol when I was transferring the cake to the cooler I dropped it upside down on the floor in the box. I have no crazy idea how I did that but I did so we cut the bake of it off because it got destroyed lol.

I Love all of the beautiful touches to the table, the wood platter, the candles, pinecones, pumpkins, canvas picture of the baby mama, white cotton cloth. IT all came together so beautifully. I got the "Welcome Baby Boy" sign on the cake from amazon. Such a easy thing that just finishes it off perfectly.

I make homemade Rice Krispies treats and melted while chocolate almond bark and lathered it on top and drizzled milk chocolate almond bark to create that Woodys birch tree look. My mom helped make "little acorns"with chocolate kisses and peanut butter sandwiches. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! I got pumpkin waffle sticks from target. They are so cute and perfect for that fall Woodys theme.

This platter though. SO delicious. We went to Aldi which I highly recommend because they have the world of meat and cheeses there with all kinds of dips (we did a hummus platter) and crackers and breads and oh so yummies. This was a huge hit!

You always need a veggies platter, they are so filling and help balance all the sugar haha. But seriously I love all the colors and just scream fall. What better way to make a woodland theme than represent the beautiful colors of the fall leaves.

This croissant platter was perfect cozy touch to finish everything off. We paired it with apple butter to bring in that seasonally fell. We served coffee and apple cider punch as well so something for everyone.

This gorgeous fruit dip was so delicious. My amazing friend Lynnea made it and couldn't have done a better job. It was the perfect mix of flavors and to be able to dip into something sweet just brings up a fruit platter to the tens! So beautiful and a must for a woodland shower!

Hope this helps give you ideas of what you can do to throw the people in your life a woodland shower. I love how each shower is all so different. I love seeing all the fun games and different ideas you can do. All the fun foods people make and eat and the decorations. It is a fun time to celebrate. Would love to know if you used any of these ideas or it inspired unique ones of your own! Let me know if you have any questions and I can hopefully help answer them :)
