One of the cutest is to do a nursery rhymes theme. You can pick your favorites, and decorate with them in mind. A great example would be the well known nursery rhyme, "Little Boy Blue," for a little boy baby shower. Adorable stuffed sheep scattered about will make the guests smile, while a sleeping doll snoozes under a haystack. Switch this to a baby girl theme by simply using the sheep with "Little Bo Peep."

Tea party invitations

If you don't want to use regular baby shower invitations, give the invitations a unique look. Use a picture of the excited parents with blank cards. You can add your own messages and a nice nursery rhyme poem. Try finding great baby themed stickers and embellishments in the scrap booking sections of stores. The personal touch that is used for these invitations will be noticed and appreciated.

Tea party decorations

As mentioned above continue your party theme on your table decorations You probably want to make this tea party more whimsical and incorporate soft, pretty colors. If you want to make it extra special, find old or damaged nursery rhyme books and take out pages with pretty pictures that are not damaged. Frame them and hang them around the room. If you can find cloth napkins that are fringed with pastel colors, they would be lovely.

For a tea party baby shower, how about this for an idea. Use 'baby' foods on your menu. For your tea sandwiches, try broiled green 'baby' tomatoes topped with grated cheddar cheese and bacon crumbles. These are delicious in thin pita herb breads.

Make a delicious salad from 'baby' spinach, cherry tomatoes and hard boiled eggs. An easy vinaigrette for this salad includes a half a cup of extra virgin olive oil, a fourth a cup of vinegar, 2 teaspoons of sugar, and a teaspoon each of fresh rosemary, fresh garlic and thyme with a bit of lemon juice.

It will be interesting to see if the guests pick up on the food theme.

Serve baby sized scones, grapes and cheddar cheese cubes, and strawberries with cream cheese and sugar served in phyllo dough. Add a mix of an equal amount of raisins and salty cashews for a great menu addition.

Serve a rooibos loose leaf tea (baby tea means no caffeine-good for mom and good for baby) like rooibos lemon tea. Other loose leaf teas your guests may enjoy are Earl Gray loose leaf tea or introduce them to an oolong loose leaf tea.

A boy or a girl we'll just have to see!
