For my recent baby shower, I found this wonderful
idea on Pinterest to have guests decorate a letter from the alphabet to
put up in the nursery. It seemed like a good idea and a fun activity to
have available. I also figured we might not
get enough participants but that’s okay because then I could just
decorate the remaining letters myself. Well to my surprise, this
activity was a huge hit. Not only did we run out of letters (because
some people did more than one each), but the craft table
was busy the entire shower. We had a co-ed shower and so even more
surprising was how many men participated in this activity. There was a
moment where I was worried we would have too many pink letters, but my
girlfriend who helped with hosting, stepped in
and removed the pink paints after she saw there were 5 letters in pink
already (great job Meggie!!!). Another complete shocker was how well it
all came together, not a single letter was the same color as the one
next to it. This seriously is my most favorite
thing in our little girl’s nursery now and we will treasure it forever. I just love the fact that every letter was crafted by one of our loved ones
just for her, it is just so wonderful.
