Baby is Coming: Game of Thrones Inspired Baby Shower



My best friend, Mandy is expecting a baby girl this Winter. This past weekend we celebrated baby Jane's upcoming arrival with the most epic Game of Thrones inspired baby shower. Mandy and I are avid fans of the show and even though the series ended we relived it in all it's glory during the shower. I co-hosted with a few of Mandy's close friends and we worked hard to pull off a very special shower.

You may have caught some of the photos I shared on my Instagram account (@glitterandjuls), but if you didn't I wanted to share them in a blog post too just in case others wanting to throw a similar theme could shamelessly steal the ideas!

There wasn't much out there for a Game of Thrones baby shower so we got creative! I loved seeing Mandy's initial reactions when she arrived! Let's get to the fun stuff!

Decorations: 

Vani and Vanessa made Mandy her very own iron throne made with play swords, spray paint, paper swords and hot glue! It turned out amazing and it added a special touch to the decorations for sure!

Vani and Vanessa  also printed these "BABY IS COMING" banners and framed signs. 





I made this diaper cake for her! I loved how it turned out! It made for a great center piece! 


We had Game of Thrones tunes playing in the background and also had our favorite episodes playing on the flat screen. 


His watch begins.... Jon Snow watching over all the baby gifts!

Food + Menu:


I had such a great time coming up with a menu for this shower. I kept it in theme with some of our favorite Game of Thrones characters of course! 


Ugh.... Typo - it's supposed to say "Wildling" Wings





Our friend Cassie has some special talents we didn't know she had- creating these fun fruit and veggie trays! 


These beautiful cookies were ordered from a local Savannah bakery - go check her out at @thelittlehousebakery 

Check out the details on this cake! Also a local Savannah baker- @kmcakedesgin



Check out the mom-to-Khaleesi :) She was such a beautiful momma-to-be and I had such a fun time planning this fabulous shower! 



This shower could not have been possible without the other hostesses - Vanessa, Vani and Jenna! It was a blast ladies! A big thanks for Jenna for opening up her beautiful home to have the shower at! 


We even had a couple of friends really into the theme! I love it! 


Baby Jane is already so loved and she is so so lucky to have Daniel and Mandy as parents! We love you guys and cannot wait for the baby to arrive soon!

SHEIN Fall Picks


I did some online browsing last night to share some early fall picks from SHEIN with you guys. I have been shopping at SHEIN for a few years now and I love to stock up on my favorite fall trends. They are very budget-friendly (all these are under $30) and they have pretty fast shipping as well! 


Each of these picks are more on the neutral side, which makes them versatile. I love the detail of the cream sweater with the lace back! It's so feminine and pretty.

I love the pom-pom detail on the tan sweater. It gives the top some texture and it is a great neutral color too

I am usually one for sweater sets, but how adorable is the blush sweater and skirt set? It's under $30 too!

I am having a moment with blazers. The oversized cognac cord blazer is a great piece to dress up or down. I can wear it with a graphic tee and jeans or pair it with some black slacks for work.

The other blazer is one I cannot live without. The scallop detail is just so cute!

I need your help! Which pick is your favorite? Also, leave a comment below if you have any fall SHEIN recommendations!

Use code GLITTERANDJULS15 for 15% off your order! The code is good until 9/30!
