Then I did a double baby shower "open house" (sans games) with my friend, Leslie. One of the ladies was having a boy and one was having a girl - it was a second baby for each of them, so we did a blue and pink theme to celebrate both babies/mommies. It turned out cute, take a look:
The last one I have done recently was an under-the-sea theme because that was the nursery theme. We invited a lot of people and I didn't have enough decor to decorate each centerpiece the same ... so I just didn't, but kept it all within the same theme and it worked (i think). I made the stuffed octopus and whale for a few of the centerpieces and gave them to the mom-to-be as a gift from me afterwards.
Just some fun ideas ... and here are my favorite sites to pull ideas from:
