Butterflies in pastel yellow, pink, and khaki color tones are a wonderful inspiration for a
baby shower's look. Start by covering the table with a pretty neutral-colored tablecloth. Serve the
brunch food on pink platters and let each guest use a pretty butterfly plate.

At a baby shower, it's incredibly important to have a nonalcholic specialty drink. That way the mother-to-be can join in the festivities. For
Denise's baby shower brunch, I'll offer guests
mimosas and spiced pomegranate sparklers.

After a
rich, savory brunch have the young mother open up her gifts. While guests shower the lady of honor with baby toys, set up a small Belgian waffle bar. Place the batter in a pretty pitcher and plug in several waffle irons.

When hosting a
baby shower, be sure to consult the mother-to-be before selecting a menu. Her appetite may have changed, so ask her what she wants to enjoy at the party. My pal Denise has requested a delicious spread of savory brunch dishes.

One of the Sugar girls is pregnant for the first time and this week I'm planning her baby shower. When hosting a shower for a friend or family member always sit down with the mom-to-be and ask her what kind of party she envisions. Denise requested a small, intimate brunch.
