PINK BABY SHOWER

One usually thinks of a pink themed baby shower for a baby girl to be pretty traditional.  Here is an interesting pink themed baby shower that is not quite as traditional.  A pink cocktail party baby shower; guest were dressed to impress to match the decor.  The table had a sophisticated lay out complete with cocktails, finger foods, mini desserts, and appetizers.  Everything is set for a trendy ladies cocktail party, which just happens to be a baby shower.

The glowing mom to be and the party host, in front of a table filled with delicious appetizers.

The table layout kept with the pink theme.  A long table with a classic white table cloth accented with horizontally placed pink and white patterned table runners.  Centered down the length of the table are alternating bright pink metal candle holders and vases filled with beautiful flowers in various hues of pink.  Each place setting is complete with a large rectangular light pink plate, a smaller white diamond shaped plate, and topped with a bright pink polka dot napkin folded with a ribbon wrapped around it.  To create the perfect balance between sophisticated cocktail party and beautiful baby shower.


The devil is in the details or in this case the little details and random accents are what really pull everything together to make a cohesive theme.  A couple of pink throw pillows added to the couch are a nice touch to make the plain brown couch fit in with the sophisticated pink atmosphere.  Flowers of various shades of pink along with a little greenery were placed in different shapes and sizes of pink vases and strategically placed throughout the party.

 

Multiple shapes and sizes of boxes were wrapped in different pink wrapping paper.  Some of the packages were placed on the table and used to hold serving platters of food.    Others were neatly grouped together for décor and some fun pink luau lights were thrown in for good measure and another layer of detail.  The walls had some nice modern pink wall streamers hanging on them, nothing to cheesy or even what you would expect to see at a baby shower.  They're just another classy touch that adds to the party's theme.


 Cocktails, mocktails, and personalized bottled water all in shades of pink flowed freely.


The food looks and tastes fabulous.  The right mix of light yet satisfying finger food.


As you can guess the desserts were all pink themed and quite beautiful to look at.  Desserts are always a center piece of baby showers so they have to be a work of art and still tasty.  Mission accomplished.
