Baby Shower Brunch Menus

September 13, 2010 By

A lot of women are wondering how to throw a baby shower, most especially how to put together a scrumptious menu for the party and what type would go well with this kind of occasion. One meal type that you might want to consider for your baby shower is the one known as the brunch menu. Here are several ideas that you can use in creating successful baby shower brunch menus.

Brunch as a Baby Shower Menu

Brunch is a type of meal normally enjoyed by the leisure class, those people who patronize exquisite resorts and country clubs. A future mom definitely warrants pampering, and a delightful brunch would be a unique treat for her and her visitors. This kind of menu will be the most suitable meal for a late morning or even for an early afternoon shower.

Most important of all, a brunch menu can be arranged pretty easily, with lots of aid from the grocery, for a portion of the rate you would shell out at a pricy restaurant.

Setting Up Baby Shower Brunch Menus

If you are planning to host a baby shower brunch with a small amount of guests, a dining room table setting plus china would be perfect. You can, then, serve the foods in bowls or in platters to be handed out around the table.

If you have a larger guest list for your baby shower, you can nicely offer your brunch menu in a buffet presentation.

Food Groups Included in Baby Shower Brunch Menus

Baby shower brunch menus need to cover a handful of different food groups. Definitely, your menu must include a few types of bread. An elegant choice would be croissants, which you can serve with butter and jam preserves. You can also choose a different type of bread depending on your preferences. Just make sure that the bread products that you will serve are fresh and bought from the bakery.

Another standard item that should be in your brunch menu is a dish made from eggs. Typically, guests like quiche on the menu. The menu should also include a fruit platter or a fruit salad, which can be prepared on your own. A great idea would be to serve fruit and yogurt parfaits, which can be easily prepared by layering berries, granolas and yogurts on top of each other.

Proper baby shower brunch menus need to have a breakfast meat dish on their list, like bacon or sausages. You can also include ingredients for a chicken salad that can be prepared by the guests themselves. A brunch is incomplete without a selection of pastries and sandwiches, as well as various beverage options. For beverages, you must prepare coffee, different fruit juices, hot chocolate and a selection of teas. With all of these included in your brunch menu list, you can never go wrong. These food groups are the staples but you can also add your breakfast favorites, such as waffles and pancakes. You will be able to throw a baby shower that will certainly be full of fun and warmth.

An Unforgettable Baby Shower!

August 26, 2010 By

Need some trendy baby shower ideas for an upcoming special event? Here’s one that will bring out the real party animals in your guests!

Everybody loves Snoopy, right? That is an incontrovertible fact. After all these decades, Snoopy, Charles Shultz’s famous beagle-on-the-roof, is still everyone’s favorite philosopher, and one of the most beloved characters in the history of comics.

You cannot go wrong with a Snoopy theme for your baby shower! It makes no difference what age or gender your guests are, the mere fact that they are surrounded with the Snoopy theme will put them at ease and in the mood to giggle, carry on and generally just have fun.

Trendy baby shower ideas with a Snoopy theme:

-Your invitations should contain a Snoopy cartoon picture, if not a real cartoon, complete with a balloon and funny saying. You can find them all over the Internet, and you will have a great time in the process!

-And speaking of balloons, why not decorate with them? You can even get balloons with the “Peanuts” characters to dress up special areas or to use as a centerpiece. Write something funny on them! (How about “Bark if you’re pregnant,” or a simple “WOOF!”)

-Get creative with your decorations. Cut out paw prints and put them on the walk. Serve appetizers in dog bowls. Why not decorate yourself and your friends while you’re at it? Ask them to wear pigtails that look like dog’s ears! Give them each a glittery choker for a party favor… at the beginning of the party, so they can wear it! Put some big black spots on a white turtleneck by pinning on round pieces of fabric or oven paper, and wear black ski pants and bunny slippers.

-Have a ball allowing the little kid in you to come out and greet the little kids in your friends. You might like putting up a big banner, made out of butcher paper and poster paint, that says:

“OUR INNER KIDS WELCOME YOURS!”

-What’s a party without music, right? Do you have kids? Don’t they have kid music? Do your friends’ kids play kid music? Gather it up and play it during the party! (If you can, put it on a single Mpeg CD so you won’t have to fiddle with it during the festivities.)

-Ahem. What about the refreshments? We suggest you make life simple for yourself. You don’t want to be running around while you’re trying to enjoy your own party, do you? How about two big punch bowls containing Shirley Temples, one spiked with white wine, and one a virgin Shirley Temple? Label them and that will be good for some laughs, while getting you off the serving treadmill. Food? How about some cupcakes in the shape of dog bones? Or simply regular cupcakes with white icing and put on a bunch of dark chocolate chips.

-You can find party games online that are tried and true, but here’s one specific to your Snoopy-themed “trendy” baby shower: Get yourself a big Snoopy poster and attach a black bottle cap or similar object to a push-pin. Then watch everybody line up for a great game of “Pin the Nose on Snoopy.” (Don’t forget the blindfold!)

Baby showers sometimes get a bit stuffy. Usually there are quite a few strangers thrust into an unusual situation together, unable to gracefully escape, for several hours, trying hard to look happy. If left to their own devices, they’ll be exhausted, instead of exhilarated, when they get home.

People love to have fun, but group psychology proves they need permission and direction. You don’t need to actually order anyone around, because a theme such as this makes it immediately obvious to everyone what it’s all about. They come to your party wanting just such an atmosphere. Give it to them, and have a spectacular baby shower they’ll all try to copy… and no one will ever forget!

The Snoopy Baby Shower – Decorations and Activities

May 26, 2010 By

Are you putting together a baby shower? Looking for something fun to add a little energy to the gathering? How about a theme party around everybody’s favorite canine philosopher, Snoopy? A baby shower party game or two with Snoopy might just make real party animals out of you and all your guests!

It’s easy to develop a Snoopy baby shower. Images of Snoopy abound online and off. Print them from the net or buy Snoopy products from the grocery store and use the package (such as Snoopy fruit snacks). Make dog bone cupcakes! Find some Snoopy balloons! Let your imagination go wild and have some fun with it; your guests will too.

Here’s a fun Snoopy baby shower game to get you started. Once you get on a roll, you’ll have some ideas of your own.

Find yourself a Snoopy poster, or print one from the net. (To make a 17″ X 22″ poster yourself, find a suitable picture of Snoopy on the net, then copy it and paste it four times into a Word document. Use the picture toolbar (it’s under “view”) to crop your picture into 4 quadrants. Enlarge each quadrant by clicking the picture, then dragging the bottom left corner downwards and outwards until it reaches the limit of your margins. You’ll have four pages when you’re done. Print them, cut out the images and match them up, taping them together from the back. Put your Snoopy masterpiece up on the wall and play Pin the Nose on the Snoopy!

Don’t forget to use the Snoopy cartoon on your invitation. You could even cut out butcher paper paw prints to leave outside and mark the path. You never know… the Mom might just love it so much she’ll use it for her baby’s birthday parties themes for years to come.

May 26, 2010 By

Sentimental baby shower ideas are for the mom-to-be that wants to remember every moment of her pregnancy.

The picture frame is then presented to the mom-to-be. Another idea of a keepsake is a journal where each guests writes about an experience or time they remember that they and the mom-to-be shared. Another keepsake idea is one where each guests brings with them a picture of the mom-to-be from sometime in the past. Some guests may have known her since she was a baby herself and can bring pictures from her childhood, while other guests may be able to bring pictures from a past decade when they first met the mom-to-be.

The photos are then put in an album for the mom-to-be share with her new baby one day. Another ‘bring to the party’ type activity is where each guest is sent a quilt square to decorate and bring to the
party. The squares are then sewn together for a quilt. Sentimental baby showers can also include sentimental games. One idea is a remember when game where guests take turns talking about a time they remember when about the mom-to-be. Another game could include pictures of each guest as a baby where the
other guests must match up who is who.

Games and keepsake gifts are a big part of sentimental baby showers. Sentimental baby shower ideas revolve around creating a feeling of nostalgia for the mom-to-be. Remembering past times or creating things for the future are sure to make any mom-to-be start feeling sentimental.

Planning a Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Baby Shower

May 26, 2010 By

When planning a baby shower a simple way to make everything more organized and easier to do is to choose a theme. A theme allows a person to tie everything together and choose supplies based upon the theme. Themes allow a person to set up specific color schemes and symbols that will be used. A now I lay me down to sleep baby shower is a great example of using a theme to simplify the planning.

Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep is a popular children’s prayer. Almost everyone has heard of it and it evokes a sense of security and comfort when people hear it again. Using this theme for a baby shower is quite simple. The first step is to determine the color scheme and symbols that will be used. Commonly used colors include blue and yellow. Common symbols include pillows, stars, moons and praying hands. Once the colors and symbols are chosen it is time to start planning.

The important aspects of the shower should all be tied into the central theme. The invitations can incorporate the now I lay me down to sleep poem on the front or inside. Food is the next essential item. The cake should be decorated with coordinating symbols and can also include the poem. The next thing to consider are the decorations and favors.

Decorations and favors are where the theme really comes out and is tied in with the party. Decorations should clearly spell out the theme of the party. Some great ideas are to use the stuffed animals that say the prayer as table center pieces. After the party these can go home with the mother-to-be for the baby. Glitter is often used with this theme and can be used to dress up tables as well. Streamers in the colors can be used around the party area. Favors are another great way to incorporate the theme. A creative idea is to make potpourri sachets that look like small pillows with the prayer written on them and the baby’s name or just use “Baby” and the last name. There are many store bought options that tie in with theme as well.

A now I lay me down to sleep baby shower has an atmosphere that evokes the peacefulness of a baby sleeping. The party should be kept low key and relaxed. The atmosphere is set with the decorations, cake and favors. Once the party is underway all the planning will be worth it.

Ideas for New Baby Girl Shower Verses

May 26, 2010 By

When it comes to baby shower girl verses, your best bet is to keep it simple. Not all invitations rhyme, and they’re not all funny. Some are simply informative, such as this one:

Please come join us
To celebrate with
Joanie Smith
The birth of her
Baby girl,
Eva Michele
March 29th, 3PM
At Grandma’s house
2530 North Ave.

Notice that there are no frills in this baby shower verse, just the facts, Ma’am, just the facts.

That’s only one approach, though. A short poem such as the following might be catchy and cute:

“It’s Joanie’s first baby,
Let’s give her a kiss.
And we don’t mean maybe,
Bring baby girl gifts!”

A little pushy, maybe, but you get the idea.

More common is a simple couplet such as:

“Baby buttons and bows,
The love overflows!”

Or how about the classic:

“Let’s shower them with love!”
Joanie’s first baby is a girl!
Join us to celebrate.

Coming up with a baby shower verse for your invitations is easy, once you get into the swing. Oh, you can certainly find them ready-made online, but it’s almost always more fun to add a personal touch. Something like this one might be nice:

“Allow us to be the first
To introduce you!
Come meet Joanie’s
Brand new baby girl Eva Michele!”

Or how about:

“Eva Michele
Requests the honor
Of your company
To welcome her
Onto the planet!”

Whatever you decide upon for your baby girl shower verse, make sure you include the following information:

What it is (a baby girl shower).
The names of the mother and the baby.
The day and time.
The name of the hosts.
The address of the party.
A telephone number to RSVP or for information.

Including something special, such as a photo, is a nice touch. Don’t forget to sign each invitation personally!
