Ice Cream Bridal Shower

What better way to end the summer than an ice cream social! 

This was a great themed shower and would also be perfect for birthday parties or baby showers. 


The Invitation
 
 
 
The easiest way to create a silhouette template like this ice cream cone is to search for a picture online, hold up a piece of white paper to the computer screen, trace and cut it out. 
 
Use adhesive cardstock to make the cone and ice cream, it is so much easier than a glue stick!
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
A very simple shower
 
My favorite parts are the invitations, banner and flower arrangement.
 
 
 
 



I bought the flowers at a local grocery store, the cone cup at a garage sale and I placed the flowers in one of those green spongy things for flowers that you can get at craft stores.


I also bought these cups at a garage sale and decided to use the creamer dishes for chocolate syrup and caramel sauce. 



Ice cream cone balloons.  I learned this from pinterest.  Roll up construction paper and tape it on to balloons to look like ice cream cones. 


One of the favors:  a cookie cutter.

I bought Neapolitan and vanilla ice cream.  Overall, I think that the party was a success!
