Im having a baby shower with a flower and anything pink theme. I need some ideas to do with decorating--games-

I attended a lovely baby shower a few weeks ago and the theme was "blue" because the guest of honor is having a boy. Because there were very few in attendance, the table was set with china and each guest received a small, glass, container with their name on it filled with daisy's, baby's breath, and a deep blue flower. The centerpiece was a conglomeration of "boy toys" such as antique wooden ships and such, as well as more flowers. Instead of "games" we were each given a "burping towel" and our choice of embroidery threads to make something for the guest of honor to use when the baby was being burped etc. Each of us came up with a different idea and most of them turned out simply darling. So, for your pink theme, here are some ideas:

1. Centerpieces of carnations, day lillies, gerbera daisies etc. might be very nice.

2. Each guest might get a "favor" of a miniature pot with a seed pack, tied with pink raffia, and with a card with their name on it.

3. I'm not a "game" person, so I loved the idea of embroidering the burping towels myself. You can purchase these towels very inexpensively and get your threads at a hobby or novelty shop.

4. Other games, if you insist :), might include guessing how big around the mother to be's tummy is right now and how big it will get, making up names for the new baby by blending the mom and dad's names etc. I think Hallmark makes a book of games for these kind of showers.

5. Food wise: panini sandwiches, salad with fresh pears and gorgonzola, cheese and crackers etc. are all nice.

6. For dessert instead of the traditional "cake",, how about cupcakes or even tiramisu?

Enjoy!
