I printed them on cardstock and then cut and glued the pages back to back. Then I punched two holes in each page and tied them with ribbon. If you are worried about it getting damaged you could laminate the back and front cover and have it spiral bound at an office supply or copy store.

Fireman and Dalmation Shower

Hi again! It’s Noelle from over at NBrynn, here to share an adorable baby boy shower I recently coordinated in a fireman & dalmation theme. This event had some fabulous {special touches} that I’m excited to share with you today. I hope you enjoy browsing the photos and find some inspiration for your next event here! 
 
 
If you’ve seen my events before, you know I love a decadent dessert table! This baby shower was no different. We had two cakes, a dozen cupcakes, two dozen cakepops, chocolate chip cookies, frosted sugar cookies, kit kats & hershey bars – {YUM}! 
The custom firetruck and dalmation print cakepops were by April’s Cake Pops and are one of my favorite dessert table additions! The cupcakes and cakes were embellished with the most amazing fondant toppers done by Natalia from Haute Tart. She created a gorgeous custom cake topper with a “Welcome Baby Maddox” message and fabulous dalmation and fire hydrant toppers for the cupcakes. They far exceeded my expectations and took the dessert table to the next level. {AND} Natalia will be giving away a $25 shop credit to one lucky NBrynn reader next week, so be sure to pop over and enter to win!  
 
I {LOVE} how these adorable “Fire Chief” boots doubled as vases for the main food table! For centerpieces, I used recycled tin cans and added a handle to look like a pail, topped with some printable package circles and set beside a fireman helmet. These were extremely inexpensive, but a very cute addition!
 
We carried the fireman theme throughout the party with “Welcome Baby Maddox” banners, napkin wraps, “Wishes for Baby” and “Gifts” signs and candy bar wraps. 
 
Guests were greeted with a sign-in table, where they could leave a well-wish for baby and mama. We hung a belly banner across the front of the entry table, showing the progression of the mama-to-be’s growing belly. Each guest received their own bag of “Red Hot Popcorn” at their seat. If you are interested in this yummy recipe, you can find it here!
It was a special event for a special occasion and one I was excited to get to be a part of! For more event ideas, stop by and see me at NBrynn anytime.
