something totally different, there are many online suggestions
to add your personal touch to this traditional treat. A variety

are wonderful way for guest to serve themselves and allow the
hostess time to mingle. In addition to the finger food
suggestions, add some savory snacks such as chicken wings,
stuffed mushroom caps, meatballs and mini pizzas to complete the
meal.

beverages. Make sure to have plenty of milk, cream and sugar for
the coffee and tea. A nice added touch is to include an
assortment of flavoured tea bags as well as choice of regular

Desserts can be an assortment of cookies and squares along with
the cake, the customary dessert of choice. This is a perfect
time to establish your theme. If you are ordering a custom cake,
make sure to do so approximately 2-3 weeks before the shower.
You can also use the cake as a beautiful centre piece for your
food table.
No matter what type of food you serve, make sure there is enough
food to last the duration of the party as well as something for
everyone.
When guests enter the location of the baby shower, the
decorations should immediately put them in the baby celebration
spirit. If you have guests arriving that don't know each other,
name tags should be given to everyone. These can be hand printed
or made on your computer.
Decorating is all about colour! The chosen theme will supply the
colours of the decorations. Add balloons, flowers and linens in
your chosen colour scheme for a complete look. Even if you
decided not to go with a theme, the decorations will show your
personal touch. For something a little different stray away from
the traditional pink and blue and go with greens, yellows and
lavender. Streamers add a ton of colour to your party room along
with a congratulatory banner for the new mom is a perfect touch.
