Simple and Sweet Baby Shower Ideas

I hosted a baby shower for my cousin and his wife today. It was simple and sweet. Little Maleigha made off with lots of goodies.

We served three flavors of cupcakes that we made ourselves (vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry). Topped them with some sugary sparkles and a personalized cupcake topper. Stacked them on tiered servers.

Served this slushy punch. Nice and tart, if you like tart. Ingredients: Country time lemonade, pineapple juice, water, Sprite

Made these crackers to off set the sugar. A little spicy (ok, a lot spicy for some of us). Ingredients: Whole grain saltine crackers, vegetable oil, ranch dressing powder mix, garlic powder, crushed red peppers. You cover the crackers with the mixture, shake them up until evenly coated, and toss in the oven for a few minutes. There are lots of different takes on this recipe that you can find online. Just search for saltine cracker recipes. There is even a taco flavored recipe.

We decorated with floral fabric for the table runner and girly doll clothes to hang with clothespins. Bright and colorful, a step away from the traditional pastels.
