Include a present with your invite to get guests excited about the baby shower … we love the idea of including a stuffed animal for your jungle themed baby shower!

We love the use of a jungle theme for your shower – you can incorporate it into everything from the chairs and linens to the floral arrangements and sweets table.

Or you can choose a theme from a timeless classic children’s book – The Velveteen Rabbit.

Use these creative ways to capture the moments with your guests! We love the idea of this picture, where guests put their thumbprint on as their “signature” for the baby shower – and when the day is through, it can be used as a decoration in your nursery.

Or sign the balloons in the picture!

To fit in with your nautical theme, have your guests sign a lifesaver, which can be hung in your nursery after the shower.

Create special memories for your little one by having guests color and sign an alphabet book for your little boy to learn his ABCs from later in life.

We love the idea of requesting that your guests bring a book instead of a card as another way to remember the day.

We love the individual veggie snacks!

The Proposal

We love this time of the year at The Event Group – it’s Valentine’s Day! And that means a day to proclaim your love to your sweetheart. Whether you have been dating a few months, engaged for a year or are already married, it’s the perfect time to show your significant other how much they really mean to you.

We’ve taken our favorite proposals from 2014 to share with you – and make sure to see if your favorite proposal from 2013 made our list last year!

This adorable couple met during the music video shoot for the Imagine Dragon song, “On Top Of the World” where both of them were cast as extras – and they were inseparable ever since. So what a more perfect way to propose than while “on top of the world” – aka a hot air balloon ride? How romantic!

One of our favorites is this simple and sentimental beach proposal. After meeting in college, Colbey and Tyler knew that they were meant to be together. He surprised her by taking her to the beach one day and presenting her with a scrapbook of their relationship, and then getting down on one knee to surprise her when she got to the last page.

These guys took it up a notch and proposed on national TV with a little help from one of our favorite day TV show hosts, Ellen DeGeneres.

Pittsburgh’s very own Pirates MVP Andrew McCutchen also proposed to his girlfriend on Ellen!

This proposal, live from The Today Show, will bring tears to anyone’s eyes.

We love this proposal – it was four years in the making, 100,000 miles, 28 countries and he spent more than four month abroad. It took some serious dedication from this guy, and we love how much time and effort he put into this! (And he said he knew that he was going to marry her on the first date! Cue the happy sighs)

One of our new favorite sites is “How He Asked” … it’s a site where people can submit their proposal videos and stories to be posted online. So if you’re looking for a tear jerker and something romantic to watch this weekend, make sure to take a look at it!
