Baby Shower
Soft clouds, gentle colours and a room full of people waiting to meet someone new.
Parents to be
A baby shower is a gentle party, so keep the room soft: sky blue, blush, sage and a little butter yellow, with white clouds wherever there is space. A balloon garland over the gift table does most of the work.
Plan a few games that get guests talking to each other. Guessing the baby’s birth date and weight, a nappy changing race and a jar of advice cards for the parents to read later all fill an afternoon without anyone feeling put on the spot.
