Vintage Inspired Baby Shower and Party Menu
This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy.
My sister is on baby #3! Wowza! She already has 2 cute littles at home; a 2-yr old gal that is obsessed with shoes and all things girlie and a 3 year old boy who has a strong fascination with hoses, sprinklers and water in general.
Anna and Fedor, you people are brave! lol. They aren’t finding out the sex of the baby. Isn’t that the coolest thing? To be surprised at the birth? Anyway, here are some shots from the baby shower. My creative sister, Alla, came up with the decor ideas and made most of the pretty things.
P.S. follow my Pinterest baby shower board if you want more baby shower inspiration!
The food was a big potluck with contributions from family. It was a healthy and truly delicious menu. I was looking around after the meal and everyone up and down the table had cleared their plates; always a good sign! Here’s a quick peek at the party.
Food, glorious food…
1. Egg and chive canapés made by Sveta (a party favorite – always!)
2. Quinoa Salad made by Mera (I re-pinned this from Mera on my salad board)
1. Greek Salad – Here’s the recipe!
2. A fruity salad made by my sister Alla. This one is asking to be re-created and shared with y’all!
1. A simple chicken and veggie stir fry made by Anna’s Sister-in-law, Tanya.
2. Red potatoes in sauce
1. Corned beef. This was yummy! My Mama made it and now I have to make it 🙂
2. BBQ Chicken breast. Simple and delicious.
1. Mom’s famous Rogaliki (Rugelasch with jam) – these always go like hot cakes. So easy & good!
2. There was a crazy amount of delicious berries (come to Mama!), watermelon, pineapple and cantaloupe.
The drinks included the (wildly popular and loved by kids and adults) strawberry basil lemonade. I also made a simple iced tea.
P.S. There was also a cheesecake and I’ll share that recipe with you soon! Here’s a sneak peak from my Instagram feed. Make sure to follow me on Instagram for more sneak peaks and funny nuggets ;).
Some pics of a few of the party goers and lovely Mama-to-be.
Planning parties takes some work but it is a labor of love (get it? Labor? Hahahaha). I hope your spring and summer are filled with happy and memorable events! Anna, I’m so excited for the new addition to the family (boy or girl)!

Hi! I'm Natasha Kravchuk. Here you'll find delicious, trusted recipes with easy step-by-step photos and videos. 
Ah, I would never have the patience to wait to find out the gender! Kudos to your sister. She looks radiant, as do you Natasha!
What a scrumptious spread of food! I’ve made Two Peas Quinoa salad in the past and loved it…thanks for reminding me about it. 😉
Thank you! She has a boy and a girl and I think she figured she’d be set either way 🙂 I imagine it would probably be more exciting than Christmas morning to find out that way! 🙂
Love love this Natasha! I’m sharing this on FB 🙂
Thanks so much for sharing! I so appreciate it 🙂
OMG, I had exactly the same maternity shirt as your sister is wearing. I think I donated it…LOL. Kidding. Lovely party, food and decor! Nice to have a big family, in a way. LOL. Kidding again. Baby #3 with 3 and 2 year olds…yes, some people are crazy brave! To each their own, I guess. Like me no baby #3 and no RV ever. LOL. All the best to your sister, Natasha!
RV? Lol. I’m not the RV type either although my parents have one and it is convenient if you’re a major camper 🙂 I always wanted to have kids that were close in age but it didn’t work out,… oh well. 🙂
Aww thanks Natasha! I loved the baby shower you guys are the best, send me that pic of me and Fedor you have posted here It looks nicer than the shot I got 🙂 thanks sis
Anytime. I got some other cute ones too. We’ll just send you what I got. There are some kissy kissy ones too that aren’t rated PG for the blog so I couldn’t post them. 😉
Looks beautiful! You girls are very creative 🙂 so since they aren’t finding out the sex of baby how did you guys do gifts?
Thank you for your sweet compliment! She registered for some gender neutral practical items 🙂 no one gave her any clothes except some onesies.
Those BBQ chicken breasts look yummy! Mind sharing a recipe please 🙂
I’ll see what I can come up with. My sister’s husband made them 🙂
Anna is seriously the cutest!!! congrats to her and Fedor.. the decor and food looks wonderful
Thanks girl! She is a cute prego isn’t she?
Beautiful decor! And congrats to mama to be with #3!!
And you look so pretty and TAN!!! 🙂
Haha thank you! It must be that lingering Maui tan 🙂 I’m so glad I didn’t burn there. I was super careful to use sunblock. It’s almost warm enough now to tan outside in Idaho! 🙂
Looks like so much fun! Alright, here is what I am dying to know, Natasha. You always seem like a tall girl to me but the last picture got me doubting. Is your husband a bit of a giant? Or you are not as tall? lol We have got to meet in person!!
He is a bit of a giant. Lol. He’s 6’4″ and I am 5’6 and 1/2″ (that 1/2 is important you know) 😉 Your comment made me laugh.
As I got to that picture, I was thinking the same-exact-thing!)))
From Natasha’s comment it looks like we are same exact height 😀 to the 1/2 inch))
It looks like the 1/2 inch is important to you too! 😉 lol
This looks like so much fun! You always have such extensive menus and it’s always so pretty… Love every detail!
