Beautiful celebrations made simple
As a mom of two littles, I know that life is a beautiful, busy whirlwind. I also believe that being a busy parent shouldn’t mean you have to compromise on the way your celebrations look and feel. At byjennymay, I share printable baby shower decorations, simple party ideas, and recipes to help you host without the stress.
Byjennymay was built on my love for the idea of casual elegance—the idea that something can be beautiful, completely real and unpretentious. I want to help you create an atmosphere where guests feel both impressed by the details and immediately comfortable in your home or space you’ve put together.
I’m here to take the hard work out of hosting, giving you a professional look while ensuring your event feels warm, welcoming, and budget-friendly!
I’ve combined my passion for modern design with my love for home baking to create a cohesive ‘look’ that carries from the mailbox to the dessert table to create beautiful moments and meaning in any event. This blog is all about sharing these real-life events with you, including recipes, of course, so you can easily recreate the event for your own special people.

Behind the scenes of hosting…
I promise it’s not always quite this messy 😉 I blame my two year old “helper”
Simplified baking
A homemade treat is the heart of a party. I’ve been baking for almost 20 years and it’s always been something I genuinely enjoy spending time doing. But as days are busier and you weekends fill up fast, I like to aim for simple recipes. I need easy to prep, steps that don’t require me to be standing in the kitchen all day. I break down professional-level recipes into approachable steps, allowing you to create beautiful baked goods that respect your time.



Easy Printable Party Decorations
Coordinated collections that you can print from home take the guesswork out of styling. From invitations to food tents, I’ve done the design work so you can focus on your guests. Printables are an inexpensive way to get a cohesive look, and with the right tools and just a few minutes, you’ve got everything you’ll need.


Easy-to-follow how-to guides
These are all events I’ve personally hosted, so I’m taking the mental load off of your plate and writing everything down that I’ve used and tried to make these events special.

Thank you for visiting! Explore the blog, recipes, and printables to make your next event effortless and special.
I can’t wait to see what you create! Tag us in your celebrations @byjennymay 😊
