Last weekend, I co-hosted a baby shower for a good friend of mine that is having a baby girl in June. The nursery will be pink and green, so we decided to carry that color scheme through to the shower. The shower included brunch, a few games, lots or gifts and socializing. I thought I’d share a few of my favorite details from the shower.
Decorations
Clothesline Party Banner: By far my favorite decoration from the party was this fun clothesline party banner. I loved the mixture of letters and cute baby clothes, plus the clothes made a great addition to my baby gift. Plus, I loved the lacey detail around the lettering!
Table Décor: The tables were covered with green and white polka dot fabric tablecloths or runners. Bright pink floral arrangements of tulips and lilies adorned the table and doubled as give-aways for our game winners. Light pink, bright pink and lime green pom-poms hung from the light fixtures.
Activities
Wishes for Mom & Baby: At each table spot, we left a blank “wishes for mom & baby” card for friends to leave thoughtful and funny advice.
Make-a-Mobile: I gathered an assortment of different width pink ribbon, pink beads, and fabric flowers. Each guest strung one ribbon with beads and I attached it to a pink painted embroidery hoop, creating a beautiful mobile. It was a fun party activity and a great take home gift for baby’s new room.
Menu
The brunch spread was amazing! My favorite new treat was monkey bread. I could eat that all day. On the menu were:
Quiche: Lorraine, Vegetable and Sausage & Mushroom
Cranberry Spinach Salad
Fruit Skewers
Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Bagels and Various Cream Cheeses
Cheesy Potatoes
Monkey Bread
Yum! And for dessert, we had chocolate cupcakes and an amazing homemade strawberry cake. I’m also a bit obsessed with my new chalkboards – perfect for displaying our menu for the party.
I think everyone had a great time and definitely left full. We’ll call it a huge success!
