Mod Mom Baby Shower

We are seeing more and more baby shower this season than normal. This is probably partly influenced by the increase of military activity, like a mini baby boom. How exciting it is to have more precious little ones come into our lives. With a lot of the negative feelings toward motherhood and child rearing it is important that we able to show our love and support to expecting mothers. What a great moment in life to become a mother. It is a miracle and a milestone in every women's life and it deserves to be celebrate.

When planning a baby shower there are a lot of things to consider. Selecting the right theme is crucial to making the moment extra special for the soon to be mommy. Also finding the right theme will make your job a lot easier. Every baby shower theme will have plenty of decorations and favors to help you plan the perfect shower.

One of the most popular themes lately is the mod mom baby shower. This is a very classy pattern. It is modern and sophisticated. It represents the progress of women and their skills while still celebrating their femininity and beauty. It is a great pattern to use at a nice restaurant where the guests will be dressed up. The expectant mother is the star of this pattern. I really like how it focus the attention on the mother to be and not just the baby.

You will want to use the mod mom baby shower theme if it fits the personality of the expecting mother. Just as yourself does this seem like her style. Would see want the event to be upscale refined or more soft and cuddly. Some of the advantages of this theme are that is less "cheesy" than typical baby shower themes and allows for some great decorating options.

Using this upscale theme makes it easy to tie in the nice surrounding with the theme selected. Most baby shower are very casual events involving little desserts games and talking. This doesn't have to conflict with the mod mom baby shower theme. Adding class comes with the environment and the recommended dress code as well as the decorating.

Setting the table is every important because that is where most of the attention will be drawn too. Use mod mom plates and napkins. You simply use matching solid colored forks and knives. Use a white linen table cloth and place a theme based edge around the table edge.

Some colors that match perfectly with the mod mom baby shower pattern are kiwi, new pink, and hydrangea. Look for balloons in these colors to spread around the room. Note that balloons on the table can be obtrusive and block guests view of the festivities. Place the balloons in the corners of the room and by the doors. This keeps them out of the way while tying the whole room into the theme. The balloons can either be bunch together by color or a blend of two colors.

For example you could have a bundle of 5 new pink colored balloons and add in one kiwi balloon as an accent color. Another great baby shower decorating idea is to use mod mom confetti. This confetti will have soft colors matching almost any theme and add a sense of celebration and excitement that need to accompany a new mom through the birth. You want to create a mood of anticipation and excitement to help the expectant mommy know that she has support in her big moment.
