My 5 month old daughter loves giraffes. She saw her first one at Blackpool zoo at 3 months and now every time she is shown a picture of one or sees one on tv she breaks out into a massive grin.
I have been trying to find a decor for her naming ceremony which is taking place in April and thought that a giraffe theme would be a nice way to incorporate something my daughter loves and something for the guests could take away with them to remind them of the day.
I also needed to come up with a way for the guests to know where they are sitting so came up with a combination of place card and guest memento!
The little giraffes were made from fimo which had been made in a silicone mould and then baked in the oven for only three minutes. These were then stuck to luggage labels and then the names of the guests were then stamped on the labels (although I did think about writing on them at one point like the one in the photo!)
On the back there was a small note saying that is was our daughters naming ceremony and the date.
I was pleased with these and then tied the labels with giraffe print ribbon.
I will let you know what the guests think!
No wonder you are planning on making a giraffe from the book for your daughter! What a lovely idea to incorporate giraffes into the celebration of her naming ceremony.
