Alice in Wonderland theme:
I wanted to stick as close as possible to both the classic book and Disney movie. The invitaion used was a playing card with a summons from the Queen of Hearts, herself. You would attend or "off with your head!". The Queen of Hearts was dominant throughout the decorations, splashing red in several various places. Alice in Wonderland playing cards were scattered on all the tables in the room, each having a different quote and scene from the book. There were signs hung that would point you in no particular direction. I had cut-outs of the characters throughout the room and black sillouettes of rabbit tracks on the floor to
indicate that the White Rabbit had passed through. The food of choice was finger sandwiches and cupcakes, keeping with the "baby" part of the shower, I placed rubber ducks on top. There were several tags with the words "eat me" and "drink me" to go along with the various tea pots and tea cups.
Keeping in mind hat not everyone is a tea drinker, I kept the choices simple with tea, juice or water. It's not a party without a centerpiece! I had fake roses, red and white, and put them in a vase. On the tips of some of the white roses I had red accrylic paint. To further coordinate, I then placed paintbrushes in with the roses to mix it up. Lastly of course, there were several baby shower games, which included: Guess this mess (guessing melted candy bars in diapers), Blind drawing (an Alice themed drawing), The birth story (guests would fill in the blanks to make a funny story) and finally, Guess how many M&Ms in the bottle.
