Shower me with... cupcakes?

Since we haven't even registered for gifts yet, a wedding shower should be the furthest thing from my mind, right? Um, well, no. Pretty much as soon as I got engaged, one of my wonderful aunts offered to host a shower for me. This aunt is amazing and can give Martha Stewart a run for her money- she can paint, sew, and craft with the best of them! Since I would presumably have her amazing talents at my disposal, I have been thinking of fun themes, and cupcakes are my current fave!

Yummmm... I don't think you ever outgrow cupcakes. Come to think of it, Andrew is pretty much the only person I know who says he doesn't like cupcakes... Although I have never seen him turn one down ;). They are pretty enough by themselves, or you can dress them up a little.

I know this is a cake, but I think you could melt some white chocolate, spread it on a cookie sheet, cool it, and then freehand little shirts. Stick the little shirts in white frosted and papered cupcakes. Too complicated? Maybe. But I want it!



And of course no party would be complete without fabulous decor. I know one is from a kid's birthday party, but I think you could replace the numbers with the married initial or a monogram and the party hats with vases of flowers. Cute-cute-cute! I love the sugar bowl so much I would keep it to use in my house after the shower.




And I can't forget this oh-so-creative presentation. Just paint some flower pots, get some foam, and there you have it... edible centerpieces!







I had to cruise etsy for some cupcake deliciousness and I ran across this. I would have to wear it to go along with the theme to my own party.



Seeing as we won't have a shower until at least this spring, I am bound to change my mind a million times. Is it too childish? I think it's fun, and I have never really been good at being an adult anyways :). Did you theme your own shower? What other fun things could I consider?
