A pastel baby shower is an event that uses pastel colors for your party. It is an event that makes use of beautiful color play which is seen in almost all the elements of a baby shower party.
If this is your first time hosting a baby shower, then you will love to celebrate in pastel colors. The color combination you choose will be determined by the gender of your baby.
With this in mind, here are some tips to help you decorate and come up with an interesting pastel party idea.
Color Schemes
The gender of the baby decides the principal color scheme.
A boy will call for a baby blue or pastel blue color scheme. It will have complementing colors such as pastel green and light yellow.
If you are having a baby girl, choose a pastel pink color scheme. Add a splash of deep pink, light yellow and white to complete your color palette.
But what if the parents are not aware of the baby gender? Or what if they would rather keep it a secret? What pastel color is appropriate to use? The most appropriate are pastel shades of yellow, green or lavender, with hints of white.
You can use any of these colors to make your party invitations and decorations more appropriate for the new mom and dad.
