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.

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.
