Baby Shower Idea Boards

So this is part b of a series I'm doing on planning a {frugal/spender savvy/creatively inexpensive/etc} baby shower. So after you've narrowed down your ideas, this is where Idea Boards can come in handy for choosing a final theme. My friend had her top 3 and I took it from there and put together a bunch of photos that tried to reflect the overall "feel" of each theme!

**please note: these photos are NOT my own, I picked them up at various websites but unfortunately did not keep track of the URLs. If you know where they're from {some can be seen in the links from Part A, please let me know so I can give credit where credit is due! thanks :) **
