We didn’t want to do too many desserts with an all virtual party, but I had a last-minute idea to make these record donuts. My mom has a cookie business out of Michigan called Cut-It-Out Cookies that I’ve talked about here a few times, and she shipped us custom cookies for our theme! The little roller skates are my absolute favorite! Instead, we decided to set up a link to a future YouTube Live video where our friends and family could tune in the day of the shower and watch us open the gifts from our registry in our little balloon baby shower set up! We sent virtual invites through Paperless Post with the link to watch as well as our registry link, and it was all really simple to set up! Sharing all of the details below for everything we made for our virtual set-up!!! If any of you are planning virtual baby showers of your own, I wanted to fill you in on what we were planning too if it helps at all with yours! Our initial thought was to do a huge Zoom call, but after adding up how many people would be part of it, we realized it probably wouldn’t be feasible.
This past year has taught me how to pivot and make the most of every situation, and I’m just super grateful for this little family!
Even though it wasn’t the baby shower we had initially imagined, we decided to still set everything up last minute and take some photos together to send in our thank you notes. We were obviously bummed, but our safety and helping our Austin community rebuild definitely took precedent! My mom had shipped us cookies she made beforehand (you can see more of those below!) and Kyle had made this amazing Anagram Balloons garland complete with record balloons we DIYed. The storms in TX hit the week our virtual baby shower with family and friends was scheduled and we ended up having to cancel. Crafted, Inspired, Party, Groovy Virtual Baby Shower
