Here are some ideas:

- Princess/Fairy Tale (Mom can wear a tiara :) )
- Nursery Rhymes (decorate with Nursery Rhyme books that Mom can keep after the shower)
- Everything Pink! (or Purple, or whatever color the Nursery is.) :)
- Little Hands and Feet (cut out hand/feet shapes for decor)
- A Baby is Blooming (flowers and garden decor, cover flower seedlings in tissue paper and ribbon with a tag as favors for guests to take home)
- A "Bear-y" Special Baby/Girl! (Use bear decor- add ribbon bows to bears to make them "girly".)
- Polka Dots/Stripes

I used a Pink/Brown theme for my friends shower, and it turned out beautiful! I bought a brown and pink striped table cloth at Party City, along with pink/brown polka dot napkins. I got pink dinner plates and brown dessert plates with pink cups. I decorated her cake (I made it) with pink buttercream frosting and white polka dots that I made with white frosting. I made the dots by placing "dots" of frosting on wax paper on a cookie sheet and placing in the freezer. Then, when they were firm, I used a knife to mash down the dots and make flatter circles, then placed them on the cake. She loved the colors and the cake.

Anyway, hope the ideas help.

Hi T., I make beautiful diaper Cakes and I can make one for you that would be very girly with lots of ribbons and bows. They are made to look like wedding cakes. My web site is diapercakesbybetty.com and more pictures are on Craig's list under diaper cakes. I live in Anna and I deliver to the surrounding area or I will mail for you. They are beautiful used as centerpiece for the table at the shower. $22.50-52.50

I did a shower for my friend and the theme was her. She had belly picutres made and I decorated with the photos, pink toole, pearls and little odd and ends from micheals. It was so cute and very cheap. If she did not do belly pictures you can get her own baby pohots and blow them up and make the black and white.

I don't know if this will help, but at Wal-Mart they have a baby shower in a box. Looks very cute!

I love the "panty" idea and the Tea Party idea. Almost makes me want to start again... ALMOST!!!

Anyway, two of my favorite shower ideas were - a clothes line with lots of (in this case) girlie outfits clipped to it. And make it all about the GIRL in all of us.

The other was to have the guests bring their favorite childrens book to start the library for the little one (they were welcome to bring other gifts, but the books were a huge hit).

Hope it goes well!!

BTW - what is your quote from?

You could buy some tulle, it's pretty inexpensive at the fabric departments, and make some sashes out of it to hang in entryways, decorated with silk flowers, get vases and wrap tulle around them and tie off with pink ribbon and flowers. These are things we did for an anniversary party and everyone loved it. You could get pink silk rose petals to lay around the gift table and the food table. Throw some lace overlays around as well.

I also make diaper cakes, and Pink and Brown has been the very common color scheme this year! I have a few samples of what I've made on my site at www.southerngalsboutique.com

Good luck!

I threw a surprise shower that was themed a 'Panty Party'. Everyone was instructed to bring a pair of 'girlie' panties (we kept the baby gifts hidden). When the mom to be opened the gifts, the panties, one at a time, the gag was on her.....then the cake came out......a rear end (heart shape cake) decorated with icing looking like ruffles on a pair of little girl panties! It was the cutest thing! Everyone had a blast! It was not only memorable, but it was a hoot!

um, you can always do the theme of her baby's bedroom, or you can do something the adults would love. My mom got these little mini-bottles and filled them with pacifier shaped candies for the favors and she got incense and little candles for the prizes for the games we did. I'm having a boy, but some of the things we did are still good for a girl's baby shower too. We didn't have pictures of me up, that was too much of a hassle, but we had tons of balloons and we did the theme of my son's room(moons and stars)

I think butterflys are always pretty! If you need any ideas with games to play, let me know, I've got a few. : ) Good luck!

T.,

How about a tea party? I've done it once for a wedding shower and it turned out beautiful. We had all types of teas in different tea pots, We also used an assorted collection of tea cups-some vintage and some new from all of the hosts collections. We served mini scones with clotted cream and jam, little appetizers and petits fours from Celebrity. It was very femine and a lot of fun decorating. Good luck.
