A few weeks ago we threw a brunch for our college friend who is expecting their first child. Their nursery is a jungle theme so we went with a “blue safari” scheme for our brunch so she could reuse some of the decor.

I was out of town for the brunch, but did a lil crafting for it ahead of time. I pulled the pattern from the invitation to make a Print then Cut banner with the little one’s name. My favorite craft was a simple one: spray painting some plastic jungle animals gold so we could use them on the cake and in the table setting.

To make things easier that morning, we picked up food from some of our favorite places like Hamby’s, Chicken Salad Chick and the amazing Whole Foods chantilly cake.

I loved all the blue touches, especially the gorgeous table cloth and napkins my friend had. What do you think?
