Baby Shower: Tickled Blue!

Baby showers can be described as a celebration of new life, family and love. They bring people together and, no matter how much stress was present beforehand, it seems to evaporate with the introduction of fun games, yummy food, and the topic of babies. A newborn is a symbol of renewal, love and happiness, and the baby shower is a special opportunity for friends and family to join in on the momentous occasion of welcoming a new life.

The modern baby shower traces back many hundreds of years to when people would bring helpful gifts to new mothers. Although there was no actual party, it was only a matter of time before these little celebrations evolved into baby showers as we know them today where they are not only a way to welcome the new baby but also a time to celebrate family!

Traditionally, once the baby had reach a month in age, he or she would be introduced to all the mother’s friends and family. Generally, this time-honored tradition was linked with a major event such as the aqiqah and cukur jambul or the baby’s christening. As the years went by, women began celebrating their newest bundles of joy even before they were born. Victorian women in the late 19th century would often host tea parties for the expecting mothers in their lives, and it quickly became a common practice.

The 20th century saw the greatest changes in the baby shower, bringing it from simple tea parties to their modern form. Although still commonly attended by women only, showers no longer have to be exclusively female. It is increasingly an acceptable option to invite close male family/friends and children too. In today’s world, there are all sorts of unique families, and for every one of them there is a different ‘right way’ to hold the party -- however the essence is always the same -- a celebration of life, love and family.

A loveable designer diaper cake would be a fabulous gift for the mom-to-be and also a spectacular baby shower centrepiece. Second only to the glowing new Mom, the unique diaper cake centerpiece will be the center of attention. Practical, each diaper cake is created with dozens of fluffy diapers, and artfully ornamented with a wide assortment of premium-quality baby items. Every bit of the diaper cake is usable.

Some prefer to organize it grand while others may think less is more.The first birthday party is undoubtedly more special to you than to your baby. So the key to creating a wonderful event is to make it memorable - for you!

An Enchanting Arabian Night was a very grand theme that we have carried out. Flash back to era of caravans, the majestic castles of sultans and extravagant parties. Organized at night, gave us the chance to play around with lanterns and glitters of decors from such tale of 1001 nights.

The theme colours were set to be in rich silky metallic purple & shimmery gold. The Arabian mood was brought alive with oil lamps, insence and candles throughout the scene. The transparent arabian tent with drapes of sky lights welcomes the sultans, harem princesses, belly dancers & oil sheikhs to the unforgetable night.

A sitting area was allocated by the gazebo with lots of classic throw cushions. Exotic Aladdin lamps, shishas and hanging glamourous chimes created the illusion of the Arabian Night. Bright colourful sportlights flashed up the palm trees of the garden and thus brought in the mood of the night.

Super shaped helium balloons brought cheerful effects to the atmosphere. A corner of the room was transformed into a play area for the children to enjoy themselves while parents get to catch up on each other. Delightful delicacies of sugar cakes boost the sweetness of the memorable moment.

A scrumptious arabian feast with grilled kebabs, ala-forno beef , brinjal musaka, lamb and vineleaf roll, meat platters served with pita breads & humus, fresh riped grapes and all sorts of other guiltless sinful desserts that lined up on the buffet bar created rumbling drools in each and every guests' hungry tummies.

Face painting and henna drawing have added more colours to the party. Games such as the musical chair have certainly added up to the fun. Participating without an age limit strengthens the bond amongst family and friends. Cheerful smiles were brought to their faces with small tokens and prizes. The excitement was then added up with a Pinata. To match with the theme and also the crowd of toddlers, a pull-string treasure chest paper box were fully stuffed with candies and toys in order to give the guests their treat of the day.

The party favors were home made with love. Silky colourful materials were sewn to be arabian pouches accessorized with matching golden and silver tassles. The embroideries of the princess' name and birthday captions made them even more outstanding. The pouches were then filled with edible gold coins as a symbolic of wealth and prosperity of the exotic arabian royals.

Party Tips: Pick A Theme & Keep It Simple!

Same questions every time. How do we get the best bang for our buck? How do we stay within a reasonable budget? How do we keep things simple?

The simplest way is to pick a theme. A theme doesn’t always need to be something obvious, a theme can be based on a color, on a movie, or even on the food that you’re serving.

We shall start with an Invitation. An amazing invitation with a great illustration on the front, something really simple but sets the tone of the them. The invitation should basically contain all the details on how to RSVP, whom to call, all the dates and other informations. Be creative and not just stick to the old method of conventional invitations. An invitation printed on a cd or sent in a box which includes other decorative items from the theme, might add colors to the tone. For instance, use scallop shells, pearls and some glitter for an invitation to a beach party. This level of anticipation factor will let people start to get excited, which is what you'll want. An example of a theme that you may carry from the invitation to a party is a ticket entry for one to a cocktail party. Personalized tickets would really INVITE people, they are fun, 3-dimensional and cool, instead of just plain random ‘I printed this off my printer’ letterhead kind of invitation. It sets the tone!

There should be a continuity, from the invitation to the color scheme, to the décor of the tables, it’s very unifying and you’ll see how much that really works together. It does! And it keeps a focal point!

So the bottom line is, to get the best bang for your buck is… choose a theme and keep it simple! There’s always a great reason for a great party!

Party Favours: Token of Appreciation
