Invitations

The first step in planning any baby shower is sending out the invitations, and for a Baby in Bloom theme, you’ll want to set the tone right from the start. Consider using invitations adorned with floral designs, pastel colors, or even handmade paper flower embellishments. You can add a touch of elegance with a calligraphy font. This creates an inviting and visually appealing invitation that hints at the blooming beauty of the event to come.

These unique watercolor floral baby shower invitations are a captivating blend of artistry and celebration. Featuring a stunning palette of shades, from the gentle pinks and soft peaches to the lively oranges and soothing lavenders. These invitations evoke a sense of joy and tenderness. The watercolor technique lends a dreamy quality to the delicate florals, with each stroke of color flowing seamlessly into the next. These invitations serve as a beautiful prelude to a blooming celebration, promising a shower filled with love, warmth, and the vibrant hues of anticipation for the newest addition to your family.

Venue and Decor

Choosing the right venue is essential to bring the “Baby in Bloom” theme to life. An outdoor garden setting, a backyard, or a light-filled event space with ample natural light will work perfectly. For indoor venues, you can bring the outdoors in by incorporating potted plants, hanging flower arrangements, and floral garlands.

Decorations are where you can truly embrace the flower-centric theme. Consider the following ideas:

• Table centerpieces: Use mason jars filled with fresh or artificial flowers as charming centerpieces. Mix and match different types of blooms for a rustic and eclectic look.
• Photo backdrop: Create a picturesque photo backdrop with a flower wall or a large floral wreath where guests can take memorable pictures.
• Balloons: Opt for balloon arrangements in soft pastel colors or ones shaped like flowers to add a whimsical touch.
• Floral bunting: String floral bunting or paper flower garlands around the venue to tie everything together.

Food and Drinks

Keep the menu light and fresh to complement the floral theme. Consider a menu featuring a salad bar with a variety of colorful vegetables and edible flowers. Include finger sandwiches and a refreshing fruit punch or floral-infused mocktails. Looking for mocktail inspiration? Try our lavender recipe below.

Lavender Infused Mocktail Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 6 lemons)
• 2 cups sparkling water or club soda

2. Strain the lavender syrup to remove the lavender buds, and allow it to cool to room temperature.
3. In a pitcher, combine the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lavender syrup, and sparkling water. Stir well to mix everything.
4. Fill glasses with ice cubes and pour the lavender lemonade over the ice.
5. Garnish each glass with a lemon slice and a sprig of fresh lavender.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Lavender Lemonade Fizz mocktail!
