Themes For Baby Shower

If you want to host a Martha Stewart baby shower, then you have to think like Martha. What exactly does that mean? Well it means coming up with some ideas that are creative, traditional or modern, handmade, but most of all classy. Putting together a shower that would make Martha proud doesn’t have to be intimidating. The great thing about Martha is that she makes things that seem so overwhelming simple and easy for the rest of us to do. Planning a Martha Stewart baby shower?  It’s a good thing. 

Martha Stewart Baby Shower Invitations

Starting with the invitations, your goal is to create a cohesive feel to the shower that will leave your guests wondering how you pulled it off. There are so many wonderful companies online that will design custom invitations in every pattern and color scheme imaginable. You can also choose the exact wording that you think is fitting.

Thank-you cards can also be pre-ordered as a nice gesture for the mom-to-be in a coordinating pattern that matches the shower theme. You can also refer the mom-to-be to the site you choose for her to pick out her birth announcements. These two ideas will be such a time saver for the new mom in the busy weeks to come, and make her look and feel like she has got it all together.

Martha Stewart Baby Showers – Decor

You can be as creative as you want. For example, if you are hosting a shower for a baby girl, what about colors like: chocolate, raspberry and lime green? You can weave in fresh flowers in these colors set out in bowls of floating water. Strips of coordinating fabric can line the tables to create something personal that is a far cry from the plastic pastel table cloths our moms used to use.

“It’s a Good Thing” Menu Ideas

While the point of a shower is to celebrate the life of a new little one, it is also meant to be a party for the mom as well. Consider this when you are choosing your menu. Create a sophisticated grown-up menu. No need to go with typical baby shower punch of sherbet and Sprite. Make it a menu that the mom will enjoy! During pregnancy, many moms have particulars that they really enjoy or things that they can’t stand. Another thing to consider when choosing your menu is whether the shower is co-ed. Men need something a little more substantial.

A sample lunchtime menu could be:

• Spiced cheese straws
• Deviled crab salad sandwiches
• Turkey, brie and chutney sandwiches
• Goat cheese and watercress sandwiches
• Baby greens, pears, walnuts, and blue cheese
• Coconut cupcakes with white chocolate frosting

A special touch is to create a signature drink that even mom can enjoy. A shower isn’t the time for heavy drinks. There are all sorts of non-alcoholic drinks that would add a special touch to your event. Try a “Baby Bellini” – made with with peach purée, raspberries, and sparkling apple cider. Keep in mind that serving anything in plastic is not the style you are going for.

Are Games a “Good Thing”?

Games are optional. If you or the mom-to-be are big on games, then only choose a few. But, remember, this is a classy shower. “Which candy bar is in the diaper?” or “How many rolls of toilet paper can we wrap around mom?” wouldn’t work for this shower. Baby shower games aren’t necessary for Martha Stewart baby showers.  Visiting with family and friends, getting to know people or see people that you don’t see very often is enough. If you do want to find some games in a pinch, then click that link above and you can find some downloadable ideas.

None of us can be exactly like Martha. But, with planning, style and a little hard work, you can create a Martha Stewart baby shower that even Martha would be proud of – now that is a good thing!
