The Theme

Consider making the party a potluck and ask guests to bring their most reliable family recipe.

Keep track of who is bringing what so you can be sure to have the proper number of main, side, and dessert dishes.
Decorate with fresh flowers, herbed bouquets, colorful tableware and other country kitchen finery.
Rent some Julia Child videos and have them running as "background music."
Create a basket of local take-out and delivery menus for the mom-to-be.
Give out aprons and chef hats to wear.
Consider choosing a specific food theme such as Asian foods, vegetarian, or finger foods.
