Quirky brights baby shower ideas

The Theme

• Combine orange and pink, add light salmon, purple and a splash of turqoise and green, and you have the trendiest party on the block.
• Quirky posters and prints are very on trend at the moment and an ideal fit for this look.
• Choose sweets like jelly beans and cookies to add the fun. 
• Give your guests striped paper bags to scoop their sweets into.

The Recipe

Berry Delicious:

• Spruce up a berry drink with fresh berries and fruit.
• Buy a sparkling mixed berry drink or juice and pour into a large jug.
• Now add lots of ice, fresh blueberries, gooseberries, strawberries and youngberries and cut a pineapple to decorate the jug.
• Struggling to find fresh berries? Use frozen ones as substitutes.

The Activity

Time capsule:

• Ask guests to bring items that relate to the year, like the newspaper of the day, a best selling CD or money.
• These items will be put away and given to the child on their 21st birthday.

DIY Decorations

Babygro bunting:

• Fold pieces of A3 paper concertina-style.
• Draw the outline of a babygro on the outside of the paper.
• Cut it and fold open.
• Paint a heart in the middle of each using colours that match your decor. 

Colourful canvas board:

• Use the same colours used for the babygro bunting and paint rough stripes on a canvas.
• Use it as a serving platter for mini pies and milk tarts.
