How to Decorate a Pink Baby Shower for A Girl

Posted on by

The Pink Shower clearly indicates that the child is expected to be a girl and everything from the invitations to the placemats to the icing on the cake can expected to be this delicate shade. Sometimes guests will be asked to don the color pink to support the overall theme or encouraged to bring gifts (especially linen and clothing) in that color.

There is no shortage of pink decorations at any dollar store for decorating this type of shower. Be sure to get pink balloons, pink plates, pink napkins and pink tablecloths. You can festoon the ceiling with pink feathers and pink lights. A string of pink lights in the shape of pink flowers, bunnies or Chinese lanterns also looks nice. Consider making flower displays out of big bunches of pink calla lilies, orchids or roses. Bleeding hearts combined with Baby’s Breath also make beautiful bouquets.

If you have any pink crystal, now is the time to dust it off and take it out. Pink teapots and pink cake plates and serving dishes also suit this theme. A big bowl of cherries in a big pink bowl can be placed in the center of the table to bring the mom good luck.

Fortunately, there are many pink foods that can be served to support this theme. Salmon mousse and crab dip is two savory suggestions. Cookies or cakes can be frosted with pink icing to resemble the features of a little girl.

Dishes such as strawberry trifle, pink Jell-O, strawberry mousse and cream puffs colored with cherry juice would also add to the overall girlish theme. Beverages such as pink lemonade and raspberry lemonade or cocktails made with cherry or strawberry liqueur could also be served.

Pink candles scented with cherry or strawberry suit this theme as well. Mother’s chair can also be draped with a pink shawl or comfy pink blanket or pillow.

Roses, peonies and daisies mixed with baby’s breath are suggested flower arrangements for this kind of event. Guests can leave with cinnamon hearts or pink candies wrapped in pink ribbon or netting or a tiny bottle of bubbles. You can also send them home with a pink lipstick, a pink colored perfume or a pink frame for them to put a picture of their own little girl in. An African violet or geranium in a pot also makes a nice party favor for this type of party.

How to Decorate for a Precious Angel Baby Shower

Posted on by

Babies are considered to be our little angels and each human being is supposed to have his or her own guardian angel. Perhaps this is why this theme is so popular when it comes to welcoming a new person into the world.

Celestial guardians are the theme for this party and the motif of the angel may be reflected in every detail from the invitation, to the tablecloth to images decorating the walls. This is a very popular theme and commercial decorations are widely available to the public.

The mother may also want to use angels as a theme to decorate her nursery, so guests should be encouraged to buy linen, china, clothing and mobiles that feature the heavenly motif. There is a wide availability of wrapping paper and cards on the market that can be used to cover tables and decorate walls.

The party area itself can be decorated with ceramic angels, angels in snow shakers, feathers, cotton batten and stars made out of aluminum foil. Strings of white Christmas lights and new age music also add to the light and airy feel of this kind of party. This shower also suits plenty of white flowers, as well as the scents of frankincense and myrrh. White, blue, pink and silver make a gorgeous color scheme for the angel shower.

Creative hostesses might want to make a halo for the mother or even rent angel wings for the mother or guests to wear. Another touch is to make name tags or dinner placards that name each guest as a guardian angel of the mother.

Angel cake is a definite must at this kind of party, preferable served up with strawberries, blueberries or mangos. Angel-hair pasta is also another witty choice to add to the menu. A nice angelic looking drink to make is called a Snowball. It consists of Avocat mixed with 7-up. The result is a furry, feathery looking drink which looks like the kind of elixir that an angel might drink in heaven. Pale champagnes and pink milk are also a nice touch at this kind of party as are chocolates and chocolate mousses with a touch of edible gold on top.

Small snow shakers, candles or charms of angels wrapped with pink or blue ribbon make excellent party favors for departing guests. You can also buy the guests charms in form of angel wings to wear around their necks.
