Baby Showers

Before you order the foods to be served on a baby shower, it is best to consider first the type of main courses, desserts, appetizers, and beverages that must be included in the menu.

It is always nice to see baby shower decorations and favors that are coordinated and match the theme of the baby shower well. A shower is often centered on the gender of the new baby, the theme the parents have chosen for the nursery, a favorite childhood character or story of the parents or a specific color scheme that the new parents will be using in the nursery.
