Accent With Color
Opt for a yellow and white theme, which works equally well for mothers expecting a little girl or boy and those who don't know which they'll have. The warm yellow also gives the whole affair a sunny disposition. Set the table with basic white linens and dishes -- you don't need anything fancy for a brunch-time shower. For a centerpiece that's cheerful yet budget-friendly, purchase a bouquet of yellow flowers, then distribute a stem or two into multiple tall, clear vessels. Use vases and a mix of recycled jars with their labels removed. Bands of yellow and white scrapbook paper and a few lengths of yellow ribbon add the finishing touches.
