A Dog-Gone Fabulous Shower

Everyone at Courtney Winet Design loves pups. Chances are if an Instagram post is not sharing some of our work, it’s likely of our dogs. So how about a blog post that highlights both work and woman’s best friend!

When I got the chance to pick the theme of a family baby shower, I knew I wanted it to be two things: something personal for mom-to-be and pink. Keeping the theme personal to the mom meant I could splurge on decorations because they just might keep some forever, even if the nursery theme changes. I never found out the gender with my three babies, so knowing she was having a little girl I definitely wanted to celebrate with pink. A couple of hours on Instagram and the whole inspiration came together. The color scheme was actually inspired by my favorite designer: Courtney Winet of course! Black, white, gold and baby pink elevated the design that would celebrate mom too, not just baby. A pow-wow (or maybe a bow-wow) with my sisters and fellow hostess helped determine a theme just for our oldest sister: huskies!

Meet Penny and Rory, my sister’s huskies. They are snugglers, talkers (yes, you read that right, I think huskies talk rather than bark), peanut butter and yogurt aficionados, and toy loving pups. These dogs are just as much family to my sister as this new baby, so I knew she’d be excited to see them incorporated. I showed Courtney this picture of Penny and Rory announcing their baby sister, then she did her design magic.

The silhouettes and paper goods didn’t stop at cute invitations. Courtney was able to customize decorations and shower activities too. A Courtney Winet Design party has beauty and fun in even the smallest details.

We had a great day showering my sister and baby girl with love. I was happy to work with Courtney to create something custom not because I had to, but because putting a little extra into those personal touches is part of my love language. And let me tell you this baby girl is already so, so loved!

Forget snakes and snails, but I say puppy dog tails can be for little girls too!
