BABY SHOWER THEMES AND COORDINATING INVITATIONS

BABY SHOWER INVITES THAT ARE TRENDY AND CHIC

The baby shower originated in the late eighteen hundreds when friends would share in a tea party to share in the day with the mommy to be~  "showering" her with love and gifts. Traditionally, baby showers were given only for the family's first child, and only women attended, sharing their wisdom and lessons on the art of becoming a mother.The gifts given to the new mom were very practical in nature as well as handmade. Today, things have certainly changed. A baby shower can range from very elegant to very causal, depending on the mood you would like to set! Friends and family now gather at restaurants, bars, country clubs or someone's home and usually last about a few hours. It is still customary for the mommy-to-be to receive baby shower gifts from her guests as well as give gifts out to the women who plan the baby shower. Today we find delicious foods served, whether a meal or snacks and can range from being a very inexpensive gala to one that is expensive. There are no set rules in today's planning but there are some simple guides for baby shower etiquette as outlined by Martha Stewart:

1. SET THE DATE: This is a time to celebrate a new life and share parenting advice. Get together some good ideas for invites and decor as well as suggestions for gifts that the new mom will need.
2. PICK A HOST:  Anyone can host a baby shower nowadays- etiquette has definitely relaxed in that regard. Showers today can even be co-ed- anyone can join in the celebration!
3. GET THE WORD OUT: Written invitations are still your best bet in memorializing this wonderful occasion. Send them out three weeks in advance to the closest friends and family of the mom to be.
4. PICK A THEME:  You can certainly elect to simply go with bright decor or opt for a theme for the festivities. Keep decorations to a minimum, though~ you want the guests at the baby shower rightfully focused on the belly of the mom-to-be!
5. CHOOSE A MENU: Once you decide the venue~ perhaps it will be easier to meet at a local restaurant or tea room~ if not, elect for easy prep foods which can be eaten at room temperature so you are not running around monitoring temps during the event. There's no shame in potluck either!

BABY SHOWER THEME IDEAS


Should your baby shower have a theme? It's really up to you. You may find creating a theme too much work or not your style, but having one can make the party seem more organized and streamline preparations.There are so many themes to choose from when planning your shower!  

If you know that your shower is going to feature baby bottles, for example, you can look for bottle-shaped invitations and bottles to use for beverages or to fill with candy for game prizes. Even if the theme is as simple as a color scheme (for instance, blue and white if the parents already know it's a boy), it's a unifying element that can simplify your job.
Here are some theme recommendations from experienced baby shower planners and guests: here are some to get the creative juices flowing: (SIMPLY CLICK ON THE TEXT TO BE TAKEN TO THE DESIGN CATEGORIES!)

Planning Your Fall Wedding in 2011

In 2011, fall weddings are not all about pumpkins and foliage- no need to feel trapped by your wedding date this year!

In 2011 brides planning their nuptials during the fall wedding months of September, October and November are being greeted with more wedding style options that ever before. In 2001, the fall wedding is no longer only about autumn foliage and pumpkins nestled beside glowing candles. Your bridesmaids do not have to wear heavy fabrics, you dont have to plan the ceremony indoors and feel free to step out of the foliage mindset- your style can shine through in 2011- in any way you want!  

n an earlier blog (CLICK HERE) we covered the unique hues making the rounds at fall weddings this year- rich tones that happily step away from custom.

In an earlier blog (CLICK HERE) we covered the unique hues making the rounds at fall weddings this year- rich tones that happily step away from custom. As a reminder- these colors are slated to be the hottest in 2011- the year of vividly unique, creative color trends! Plum, cream mocha and cappuccino- even red!

As a designer of custom wedding invitations and accessories, I am receiving lots of requests for color combos like aqua and chocolate, charcoal and cream, while the color combos of hot pink and charcoal are not far behind. Golds, mangos, limes- coupled with navy blues and plums~ the sky seems to be the limit when the discerning bride is planning the 2011 wedding. Lots of creative juju out there this year- such a great relief from the "traditional, basic" fall wedding scene.

When you are deciding on the date, just be sure to check out the weather in the area you are planning the event~ a really great source for weather projections around the US is HERE~ make sure you plan the dresses and ceremony according to the venue to the best of your ability. But back to colors and designs...

Once you've selected the invitation, be sure to check for coordinating postage, envelope seals and save the date reminders! Now you can get on with planning the day! Dont forget the hottest trends in fall creativity this year:

• vintage wedding dresses with cap sleeves
• beautiful textures
• ornate details
• natural settings, including outdoor and backyard weddings
• photo booths (actual and set areas with draped-cloth backdrops)
• vintage photography
• eco friendly is SO in- think green as in recycled paper and locally farmed foods
• its ok to be modern in 2011- mix and match shapes and sizes- all good!
