Green Themed Baby Shower
A green themed baby shower is a different kind of green party
Many baby showers have a color scheme of pink or blue, but if you want to do something a little different, maybe you should go for the green. Green is a popular color for decorating baby nurseries, not only because it’s a soothing color, but also because it can work for either gender. If the parents are electing not to learn the baby’s gender ahead of time, a green theme would be a natural. Green would also work well if the mom-to-be is expecting multiples of mixed gender. Of course, a green baby shower would be fun if the baby shower or the baby’s birth is scheduled around St. Patrick’s Day. If one or both parents are proud of their Irish heritage, you can help them celebrate with a bit o’ the green.
Luckily, there are plenty of traditional baby shower invitations and decorations in pale green. If you are planning more of an Irish theme, then the time around St. Patrick’s Day would be ideal for picking up decorations and favors. Green party decorations and candy for shower favors can also be found in abundance around Christmas and Easter.
If you want the food to match the green theme, you have lots of options. Set out a relish tray of pickles and green olives. Instead of the usual mixed nuts or peanuts, offer a bowl of pistachios, preferably shelled. Cucumber slices, celery sticks and green pepper strips make excellent dippers for spinach dip. Tortilla chips go great with guacamole and salsa verde. For a main course, you could serve pasta with pesto sauce and a green salad with green goddess dressing. If you were planning an Irish themed party, you might consider corned beef sandwiches accompanied by cole slaw and potato salad as an alternative to the traditional corned beef, cabbage and potato supper.
For dessert, you will probably want to serve up a cake or cupcakes decorated with green icing. You could supplement with such tasty green treats as lime sherbet or gelatin, pistachio pudding or key lime pie. For a healthy sweet option, offer a fruit display of green grapes, granny smith apple slices, honeydew melon and kiwi.
For favors, you may want to include green chocolate candies, jellybeans, hard candies or mints. If the shower theme is St. Patrick’s Day or Irish, you could give gold wrapped chocolate coins.
