Food
Many baby shower hosts serve food that is either pink or brown focusing on desserts. You can go with either color like chocolate cupcakes or strawberry cheesecake or combine the two like these desserts:
*Strawberry cake with chocolate chips
*Chocolate cake with strawberry frosting
*Brownies with a piece pink grapefruit gummy candy in the middle
*Strawberry sundae with chocolate sauce
For drinks, add pink power to any clear pop by adding frozen fresh strawberries in place of ice cubes.
Decorations
Having a pink and brown baby shower makes things easy in the decorations area, because you already have the colors identified. Using what you have on hand and adding decoration is the most cost effective. However, you can also purchase inexpensive items to support the color scheme. For example:
*Take a clear vase and tie a piece of brown tulle or thick satin ribbon around it.
*Place coffee beans in a clear vase and place silk pink flowers in it.
*Find an inexpensive, pink plastic tablecloth and scatter brown gems or sequins on top.
*Purchase or find a solid pink or brown tablecloth and use the alternating color of plates, and utensils.
Favors
The last part of your pink and brown baby shower involves guests taking home favors. Be sure that they are not only pink and or brown, but ones you know that they will like. Here are some ideas:
*Cookies with pink icing placed in a cellophane bag and tied with a brown ribbon. Here are a couple of recipes for pink icing and pink iced cookies.
*Pink or brown candles covered in tulle with the alternating color.
*Fun, useful items like wine bottle stoppers, manicure sets, or lotion wrapped in pink and brown paper.
