Olé, olé, this is the sweetest little soiree! If you know a fiesta-loving mama-to-be, you don't want to miss this Llama Fiesta Baby Shower! It is full to the brim with adorable decorating ideas, easy DIYs, and even a yummy Mama Llama Margarita Mocktail recipe so the soon-to-be mama can enjoy a specialty sip at her shower! The super popular llama trend makes an appearance throughout the party decor, making this fiesta the absolute best-a!
The idea for our Llama Fiesta Baby Shower was sparked when I came across this Hello Baby Llama Mylar Balloon. It reminded me of the popular Llama Llama book series by Anna Dewdney, and since the books are such a big hit, I thought this would make an adorable shower theme!
The colors in the balloon are just perfect, so I used those to set the stage for our party decor. Throw in a few cacti, a llama element here and there, and voila! We had ourselves the foundation for one heck of a fiesta!
The mylar llama balloon took center stage at the celebration. We bundled colorful Llama Print Latex Balloons on either side of it to create a sweet and simple backdrop above the dessert table.
Cactus Party Centerpieces echoed the cactus from the balloon and added some height to the dessert table. Light Pink Vintage Votive Holders with flickering candles tucked inside gave the room a cozy ambiance. A strand of pom poms from the Fiesta Pom-Pom Door Curtain graced the front of the table to add color and balance.
We unfolded Boho Floral Luncheon Napkins and laid them out across the dessert table to create a runner. Fresh flowers tucked inside Textured Round Vases softened the scene and looked so pretty amid the sweet treats!
Instead of a traditional cake, I thought it would be fun to serve a mix of fiesta-inspired treats. Giving a nod to margarita limes and cinnamon churros, we served Key Lime Pie and Cupcakes with a Cinnamon Crisp Cookie perched atop each one. Chocolate covered cookies in colorful wrappers added a festive flair to the menu.
What's a fiesta without margaritas, right? Well, since the mom-to-be can't have an alcoholic cocktail we decided to create a special mocktail in her honor. To keep with the theme, we playfully named them the "Mama Llama Margarita Mocktail." They're pretty tasty...almost as good as the real deal! Get the recipe here.
I love the crystal-cut look of these Pink Patterned Plastic Glasses, so we added a lime slice to each one, displayed them by a pitcher of the margarita mocktail concoction, and let the guests help themselves to as many mocktails as their little hearts desired.
We arranged some simple orange flowers inside a Teal Textured Glass Vase which gave a finished look to our little beverage area.
We created our own unique centerpiece for the dining table by piecing together Fiesta Flower Hair Clips, Fiesta Folding Hand Fans, Pom-Poms, Fiesta Slotted Cactus Table Decor, Textured Round Vases, and strands of garland from this Fiesta Pom-Pom Door Curtain. Get the step-by-step instructions for recreating this Fiesta Centerpiece here.
The place settings for each guest were bright and festive! We layered Yellow Scalloped Edge Dessert Plates on top of Coral Square Dinner Plates, and used the same Boho Floral Luncheon Napkins that we used on the dessert table. White Cutlery and Pink Patterned Wine Glasses finished off each setting.
We are so in love with the way our DIY Llama Favor Place Cards turned out! Who knew jellybeans could be so cute? The Boho Pom-Pom Food Picks were the perfect way to tie the favors/place cards into the shower theme. Don't miss the step-by-step DIY for these fun favors!
Tying a flower from this Fiesta Flower Garland onto the back of each guest's chair was the finishing decorating touch to our Llama Fiesta Baby Shower.
