Picnic 'Til She Pops

For the mom-to-be who's an outdoors enthusiast, nothing can rival a picnic-themed celebration. Mom and her guests will love this picnic party, whether it's held inside or out. Gingham tablecloths, checkered napkins, delicious and easy food, and fun favors all help set a lively picnic scene to create lasting memories for mom and her baby.

Your guests will enjoy noshing on traditional picnic fare like sandwiches, chips, and cookies. Dress this simple food up in adorable baskets, checkered napkins, and colorful chevron packages.

What beverages could be more perfect for a picnic than a big bucketful of ice cold drinks. Let your guests get refreshed with typical picnic soft drinks, and give them decorative straws and napkins to go along with their picnic drinks!

With a pregnant woman as the guest of honor, it may not be so easy for everyone to sit on the ground with a picnic blanket. But don't worry, it's easy to create the picnic blanket feel while sitting at tables. Indoors or out, all you need to give your tables some festive picnic flair are gingham tablecloths, mason jars for the drinks, and fresh-cut flowers.

You'll enjoy the picnic outdoors, but mom-to-be can bring a piece of the outdoors back inside with her with this cute activity. Collect a few dozen shiny, polished rocks (from your backyard or a craft store) and encourage guests to adorn them with special messages to the new baby. You'll build a rock collection that both mom and baby will treasure.

"Preserve" your memories with this delicious shower favor. Homemade jam in a cute jar makes a perfect present for a picnic party!
