Throwing a Spring Baby Shower

Throwing a party can be stressful, expensive and time-consuming, especially if it's for a friend or family member's big life event: like a baby shower! Make it easier on yourself (and way more fun) by adapting a theme that starts with the invitations and ends with the favors. Your guests will love the way you have tied everything together. Need an idea? How about some Spring chicks. Little chicks are cute and reference the birth you are celebrating. Hello Little One has an invitation called "Sweet Chicks" that have a mother and chick sitting on a branch... it's whimsical and modern at the same time. For a dessert, try mini chick shaped cakes or cupcakes with chicks frosted on them. Do a google search for an illutration that you like and bringing it in to your local baker. For favors, I found these adorable salt and pepper shakers at beau-coup.com that round out your theme. The mom-to-be will be pleased that her host thought of everything from start to finish!
