Animal themed baby showers and birthday parties are a great way to celebrate with out being too girly or too masculine. The theme is fun and vibrant and you can really go "WILD" with the decorations. We have seen some great ideas for this theme lately and want to share a few.
Celebrations at Home featured a "WILD" Jungle themed baby shower this week that is just too adorable. Non alcoholic jungle juice and bloody mary's were served in mason jars, and an Amy Atlas inspired desert table all tied together the theme.


Talk a walk on the "WILD" side with this gorgeous inspiration from
The Hostess Blog.
Safari Luxe is a grown up take on the jungle theme, and we love it! Learn how to make amazing paper palm trees for your jungle bash on

This birthday party from
Jessica Davis photography is just too cute not to share! T
hey had a Safari themed birthday, equipped with a jumping house, face painting, games and a petting zoo! No detail was overlooked, the kid food was renamed goldfish (piranas) raisins (dried ants). Upon walking through the door each child registered their passport and chose an animal costume to wear. I think Lincoln’s mom has a future career in party planning.

This adorable treat looks so delicious it is definitely on our grocery list for the next party. You know how we love practical double duty favors and this yummy desert does not disappoint. Guests can take home the concoction as a favor, or it can be served as desert and the cute container serves as a take home favor.
Cushion a vanilla cupcake between a layer of raspberry jam and a dollop of cream-cheese frosting in a classic canning jar. Pair it with a wooden spoon, and voila -- you've got a pudding-rich, mess-free treat that guests can easily take home. Visit Martha Stewart for the delicious
cupcakes in a jar recipe.

An amazing Texas photography duo
Bend the Light Photography submitted this quirky and fun
engagment session. Can I just say the we are in LOVE with these pictures! The ladies of
Bend the Light worked with the bride and groom to plan the picnic concept, and little pre-planning goes a long way. This adorable bride had her fiance try on all of his outfits the night before to make sure they matched. If that isn't love we don't know what is!
Bend the Light did a wonderful job capturing these two and the undeniable love they have for each other. Love just pours out of the photographs. Enjoy these gorgeous photos from
Bend the Light and visit their
blog for tons more!
