I’ve said time and time again that invitations can be one of the best sources of inspiration for themes, party decor, food, etc. With that in mind I chose one of the baby shower invitations from our newest sponsor, Rutherford Papers, and put some ideas together for a “gender reveal baby shower.”
- I was drawn to the invitation by it’s soft color palette, and the bowl of ice cream {always a fun party food} and set out to find some photos that would represent this shower.
- The obvious first choice is to set up an ice cream bar and the one I found here works beautifully. Decorate the party in pale yellow with touches of pink and blue throughout.
- Next, a pretty table setting can be set for a mid-day luncheon or brunch.
- Playful guests will get a kick out of these felt lips & mustaches. You can incorporate these in a variety of ways: let guests choose one depending on their guess as to whether the baby is a boy or a girl; OR use these to play the traditional game where you collect one from another guest each time that guest says an “off limits” word of the day; these are great for photo ops too.
- Pick a fun way to let guests know whether you’re having a boy or girl. This idea of letting balloons out of a box, in either pink or blue, is adorable and festive.
- Finally, send guests home with favor boxes {large matchbook boxes dressed up with paper and washi tape} filled with sweet treats.
See how easy it is to put together a party when you have an invitation as a starting point?!
Rutherford Papers has all types of paper goods to choose from for all occasions. Here’s just a sample:
