I've hosted a lot of baby showers in my day. When you host with a group things can get a little complex. Who brings what? How do you 'split the bill' etc. This is one of my favorite group themes-milk and cookies. I've done several versions of this. A cute alternative is 'milk mustache' for a boy. I put the milk and cookies link below to some of the more elaborate parties. The easy thing about this one is that you can just assign each person a few cookies to bring. This way, you don't have to worry about if someone wants to get plates from the Dollar Tree or Nieman's. You do you, I'll do me, and we all bring equal shares and skip the cake serving. I recently threw a shower with three other ladies and we just each decided which cookies we wanted to bring (points for pink). I used scraps of fabric I keep in various colors to cluster under the food.
We signed messages on the diapers for the new parents to use as they change diapers. I also LOVE to get a book for everyone to sign-useful, and fun (especially since this was a shower for a teacher friend of ours.....hosted by a bunch of teachers). We got "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie."
I also have a bunch of pink pom poms and fans....you'll see these again for a flamingo party I'm throwing next spring.
This time we served pink lemonade, tea, and pink (strawberry milk). A little hint-not many will drink the milk, but it sure is cute! I also put out some bags for people to fill up with cookies to take home with them.
And that's all she wrote in this chapter of party prep.
