If the mom-to-be decides to find out the gender of her baby then a gender-specific shower is a good way to indicate types of gifts the guests should bring. Pink and blue Baby Shower Invitations are perfect for this kind of shower. For the parents who choose to keep the gender of their child a secret the color scheme for the décor can range from yellow to green to chocolate. Bright, bold colors can also be dominant in the baby invites if the gender of the child is unknown. These colors can then be used in Decorations Food and invites.
Some gender-neutral decorations could include baby bottles, pacifiers, and diapers. Tiny baby bottles could be filled with candies as favors for your guests to take with them, while cartoon characters can be included in the invitations, tableware, and baby thank you card. For diaper-themed parties your invitations could be shaped like diapers and diaper cakes could be your table center pieces.
For a shower that will pamper the mom-to-be, the décor should give off a luxurious and inviting feel. Candlelight or soft lamplight would be a great use for primary lighting and the décor should focus more on the guest of honor than the baby.
The baby shower food should reflect the guests. If it is a couples shower or coed party then the host should include items like steak or ribs. If the event is a ladies-only event then there is a wide variety of foods that could be served. The host can choose to serve simple hors d'oeuvres with punch or sparkling cider.
A full meal is another way of serving food and can include anything from fish, to chicken, to pasta. If the host decides to serve only hors d'oeuvres the Coed Baby Shower Invites should indicate that only light refreshments will be served. If the host will be serving a full meal, the Couples Baby Shower invitation should then let the guests know that a dinner or luncheon will be offered.
Alcohol has traditionally been considered taboo at a baby shower, however, if the host knows the expectant mom won't mind if others have wine or beer then those could be served as well. If the party will be dry, this information does not necessarily have to be disclosed since most people do not expect babyshower to include alcohol.
The ideal Decorations Food and décor will incorporate the central theme into everything including the invites, favors, plates, napkins and streamers. Don't forget about the shower thank you cards for the new mom to use in thanking all those attended the party, sent gifts or assisted in any way. Wording Baby Shower Invitations, verses or sayings for the baby invites are not a problem, as CardsShoppe offers lots of samples to choose from.
