I’m totally swooning over this new Real Party! It’s a super-stylish, intimate baby shower brunch featuring adorable pinwheels, festive tissue poms, fabulous paper patterns, and a fresh & colorful palette of yellows, greens, browns and blues.
The 3-dimensional invitations are also ridiculously amazing! And added bonus for us – you can find the entire DIY Tutorial for the pretty pinwheels featured in the invites right here on Style Me Pretty!
Read on for TONS of gorgeous pics and all the party details, as told by hostesses Kari Herer, Christina Wnek, and Pam Albert…

“Our pregnant friend Tracy is on bed rest and so we wanted to do something extra special and over the top in celebration of her and her “little peanut”. Not knowing the sex of the baby, they refer to their little one as “Peanut” – so we decided to run with that and made “Oh Peanut” our tagline.
The invitation started the whole thing off – it was a really small shower (just 8 people) giving us time to create something that we wouldn’t have been able to for a larger number of people. We wanted the invitation to make a statement and thought pinwheels would be something we could make and could carry through to the rest of the shower.
From there our theme was born: Pinwheels and Pom Poms!
Tracy has chosen Robert Kaufman’s Metro Market Chickens fabric for her bedding and color scheme for the nursery, so we drew our inspiration from that and stuck with greens, yellows, blues and browns.
After deciding on the color scheme the rest was a piece of cake! As long as you have a color or group of colors to work with keeping an event cohesive is easy.
We made smaller (less complicated!) pinwheels to decorate the cupcakes, hung pom poms from pomlove on the ceiling, adorned the doorway with a cute “oh peanut” banner printed by Papier Gourmet, and made some scrumptious sugar scrub with the line “from our shower to yours” on the tag.
We even had our own personal caterer (Kari’s oh so talented husband) to cook us brunch!
The shower was a hit – it was a great group of ladies, an amazing meal, a fabulous atmosphere all in celebration of a great friend and her little peanut!”

I love the colours…yellows are always uplifting and fun in any shade. The pinwheels and pom poms are great ideas and the invitations…how pretty!
What a fabulous party! Everything looks so fresh and inviting… Does anyone know what font was used for the words “the peanut” on the green/yellow coasters and also on the word “baby” on the invitations? I just love that scripty font…
So Vibrant, Unique and FUN! Oh, and now I am totally pinwheel obsessed:) Beautiful shower.
Jenny – the script font on the invite is from the font family, Bickham Script Pro.
Where can I find straws like the blue and white ones? I need green and white ones for a shower I am throwing in January. Perfect little touches. Great job!
Hello, I’m wondering where the straws were purchased too – I would love some pink and white ones for my daughter’s b-day.
Beautiful!
Thanks!
Adorable, love it!
Katie – we purchased the straws at an adorable little shop in Portsmouth, NH called Gus and Ruby Letterpress. http://www.gusandruby.com.
