A friend recently asked me to help her brainstorm ideas for a baby shower she will be throwing. My friend told me a few things about the mom-to-be's style: she likes Asian-inspired patterns, loves the color gold, appreciates fine paper goods, and she isn't a girly-girl who loves pink.
I've done some searching, and I hope I've come up with a theme she will like.
I told my friend she should start her planning by browsing a few fabric and paper stores to come up with a beautiful Asian pattern that she loves.
I am suggesting a gold & green bamboo theme, but these ideas can be adjusted to match any color scheme that fabric and paper shopping might lead to.
Details of my ideas and photo credits:
1. Brown or gold napkins would be lovely tied with a green shoot of some sort. Serve the food on eco-friendly bamboo plates (available for purchase here). They sell silverware also!
2. These inexpensive bamboo coasters make a cute party favor for guests.
3. Purchase a few of these inexpensive frames to place baby pictures of the mom- and dad-to-be around the party.
4. There are numerous options for bamboo-inspired invitations around the web. This set of letter press ones from Etsy would be perfect for a girl who loves fine paper goods. This set is for a wedding, but often Etsy sellers are willing to work with you to customize.
5. Adorable bamboo cupcakes would be an easy DIY project.
6. A perfect gift for the mom-to-be: anything from the Baby Bambu line, including this onesie.
7. Cute little centerpiece of bamboo tied with ribbon. Luckily, you find bamboo at your local Ikea.
8. I have said many times on this blog how much I love a children's book as a guest book. Just have guests sign the inside cover. This book would be perfect.
9. With an Asian-inspired theme, lanterns of some sort are a must. These gold ones are gorgeous.
All of these items pulled together over DIY runners of the fabric inspiration she finds would make for a beautiful shower to honor the mom-to-be! Anything you would add?
