Custom Inspiration Board - Red & Aqua Baby Shower

Carla and her friends are throwing a baby shower for another girl friend who doesn't know the sex of the baby.  She loves the popular combination of red and aqua, so that was the jumping off point.

We begin with a fun invitation in the chosen color scheme.  Continue the decor with a background of color in the way of hanging lanterns, table cloths, and runners.  A light lunch will be served so she can set up tables in alternating color ways (red on aqua for some, aqua on red for others).  Tight bunches of red flowers like roses or carnations look great as centerpieces. 

Place a welcome sign in a prominent place, and have shower activities set up, printed on coordinating paper. 

Set up a candy and dessert table full of  red and aqua treats.  You can wrap water bottles and rice crispy treat squares with colorful matching paper.  Hang a flag banner made from the same paper or fabric, above the sweets.  Serve a signature red cocktail/mocktail.  Provide attractive packaging to fill up with candy as the take home favors.
