An Alice in Wonderland Baby Shower

I choose to do an Alice in Wonderland themed baby shower because I loved the pastel blue and pink colors for a baby shower. Also, my love of all things Disney influenced this decision as well. Continue reading to see how to create an Alice and Wonderland Themed Baby Shower!

First: The Entry Sign and Gate

I bought the entry sign at Hobby Lobby on one of their half-priced weeks. It came to about $30. One of my friends used her cri-cut machine to make the letters and design. Then, I created the Gate Entry with Jumbo Cards I found on Amazon (https://amzn.to/2O8pwFW). I staple gunned the card to three wooden stakes. Lastly, I zip-tied the wood to the gate to keep it in place.

Next, a Walk Through the Garden.

To make the Queen of Heart’s Soldier, I used Poster Boards from Target, a Template I got from YouTube: https://youtu.be/POA2hlnFq-nw, and Wooden Stakes I had. I glued the template on the Poster board. Then, I staple gunned the poster board to the stake.

For the Potted Plants, I got the pots and wooden stakes from Walmart. I then painted them with Acrylic paint from Michaels. They soil was borrowed from my grandfather. The flowers were purchased at Home Depot. I purchased the mini flamingoes on Amazon (https://amzn.to/3bHGqUg). Lastly, I used a google image for one of the potted plant signs and an Etsy template for the other. I printed them, laminated them, and staple gunned them to the wooden stake.

Sign In Table
