Go with Gingham

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.
