When one of my oldest friends announced she was pregnant, it seemed to be the most obvious thing for 'us girls' to throw a baby shower for her, something that would have been pretty unheard of a few years ago. This Americanism has really caught on with the twenty/thirty somethings du jour. My friend is the first of my friendship group to have a baby so this is a new tradition for us all. Move over hen parties which we have nailed down to a tee, personalised invitations, gifts, games and pampering, yes we can organise one of these in a heartbeat, we've had enough practice, but it's time to embrace a new party style...the baby shower!
Bring on the baby themed cakes, sandwiches and games galore.
Of course how do you accessories this most feminine event? An elegant and calming soiree is key with a subtle colour palette, obviously blue for a boy, pink for a girl, or a pale lemon/cream palette.
Here are some of our favourite images to find inspiration from...
