Planning a “Little Cutie” Baby Shower
A “Little Cutie” baby shower is a cute, low-key theme that turns out so beautifully with minimal effort. The best part about this theme is that it is centered around citrus, which gives you so many decor and recipe ideas that are affordable, easy, and you can get a lot of your items at the grocery store on your regular grocery run. This theme is all about the details—the bright oranges, the fresh scents, and of course, the adorable decor. But where do you start? I’ve put together the ultimate checklist to make sure you don’t miss a thing.
Before we dive into the supplies, you can grab my Full Little Cutie Printable Bundle here—it includes everything from the invitations to the cupcake toppers and activities so you can just print and go without planning a thing!
