Getting the Decorations
Every store probably carries party decorations that will be appropriate
to your party theme. Look for paper goods and party supplies with
images of ice cream, sundaes, and ice cream shops on them. You can
even look for paper plates, napkins, cups and more with multicolored
dots, circles or stripes on them as an alternative if you can't
find ice cream related imagery. In fact, these less specific decorations
can be more suitable for the ice cream party as they bring to mind
the kinds of marketing materials used by ice cream shops like Baskin
Robbins.
A pastel color theme works well for a baby shower and an ice cream party. Look for streamers, banners, balloons, wall murals and art and more in soft colors like powder blue, pastel pink, lemon yellow, and mint green. The mint in particular will remind kids and guests of mint ice cream.
If you were planning on serving a certain flavor of ice cream for your party, consider decorating the party area in matching colors. For instance, if you really want to serve superman ice cream at the party then consider using decorations in matching colors like, red, blue and yellow. Although, these primary colors may not seem like a good choice for a baby shower, they are commonly used in toys to stimulate babies minds. So, it is fitting and you can use it with a baby blocks theme or other toy related party theme.
A Word on Dairy Products
Moms-to-be aren't always able to handle dairy products like real
ice cream. You may want to consider going with frozen yogurt or
another frozen treat like Italian ice. This will be easier on her
stomach and you can always get ice cream for the kids. Frozen yogurt
in particular, is available in a wide array of flavors these days.
If you can't find it in the grocery store, most ice cream shops
have a basic vanilla yogurt flavor that they can add treats and
flavors too. Use your search engine to find stores in the area that
offer frozen yogurt.
Once you've gotten the decorations and the food out of the way
for this baby shower ice cream party, sit down and have some fun.
There will be plenty of presents and conversation to keep the guests
busy. If the kids at the party get wild send them outside to play
games and burn off some excess energy. You can always get them involved
in a good game of hide and seek
