Precious Moments Baby Shower
Tuesday, December 1st, 2009
After all of these years, a Precious Moments baby shower is still one of everyone’s favorite themes. Precious moments create a sweet and simple theme that can be used for just about any mom. Since Precious Moments have been around for over 30 years, there are plenty of resources to choose from to make hosting a Precious Moments shower one of the easiest to accessorize for.
Step One for a Precious Moments Baby Shower – Invites
The first thing would be to find the invitations. You can order specialty invitations online with a precious moments theme designed right in. Or, you can find them at your local party supply store, drug store or even supermarket. One of the popular characteristics of Precious Moments, is their faith-based roots. Often the invitations will include a Bible verse. Since the main point of a baby shower is to celebrate the birth of a new child, many moms-to-be enjoy this aspect of a Precious Moments baby shower.
Precious Moments Colors
Due to the color scheme, you can easily design this shower around either a boy or girl. You can go traditional with pale blues or pinks. But, you can also make it a little more modern by choosing lavender color accessories for a girl. Or, a tan and sage green color for a boy.
Coordinate!
Using streamers, balloons, and tableware in whatever colors you choose will help you to tie the theme together. A cute idea would be to drape each table in a different color table cloth. This really emphasizes all of the colors that you have chosen and makes it visually interesting for the guests. This theme is also perfect for the mom who does not know what she is having. All the colors in the Precious Moments theme go perfectly together for a gender neutral theme.
If you know someone who is an avid collector of Precious Moments figurines, asking them to borrow some would be a great touch. You could use a few of them as a centerpiece or even a cake topper. Or, even set them up in different areas of your home. Just be extra-careful when borrowing these fragile nick-nacks.
One popular idea lately is to serve cupcakes instead of a cake and then to serve them on a tiered tray. You could frost the cupcakes in a few of the colors that you chose and then have a new Precious Moments figurine for the mom-to-be on the top of the cupcake tier to take home with her.
Because Precious Moments accessories are so easy to find, this makes it great when you are trying to decide what favors to give out. There are many cute photo albums or notepads, even inexpensive candle holders, all with the Precious Moment motif. For a personal touch, check out these great Personalized Children’s Books in the Virtual Book Tour at ISeeMe.com for that perfect gift, so the new mom make some real-life precious moments. Using an inexpensive votive candle wrapped in a coordinating tulle would be a nice touch. You could have some ribbon printed with the mom’s-to-be name and date of the shower for a personalized touch.
As the host, you will be creating an event that will be remembered for years to come. If you choose to go with a Precious Moments baby shower, you will be able to make it as special and unique as the mom-to-be and her new baby.
