Inspiration: Elephant Sip & See

This past weekend was the one I've been talking about recently where I helped to throw 3 parties in 3 days.  What a crazy whirlwind it was! {But I loved every minute of it!} 
The most crazy part of the whole thing is that I had to fly.  I had one suitcase of clothes and another huge bag with just party supplies.  My friends all think I'm crazy.  {But my fellow party girls understand, right?!}

First up:
I threw a very small Sip & See for my friend Shannon, who recently had her second baby Ethan.  
When I heard his name was Ethan, I knew I wanted to do an elephant theme, to play off the E in his name. 

Here is the inspiration board I put together when I started my planning:

I was picturing bright colors and simple patterns when I planned this shower.  
The party was held at a restaurant on a busy day between two bigger parties, so I really had to narrow down what I wanted to incorporate.  
Check back tomorrow to see the simple little invites I made.
