Showered with Love

Credit: istock

This shower "lite" -- we like to call it a sprinkle -- is perfect for the repeat mom who may have many traditional registry items already, but still wants an occasion to celebrate with her friends. The casual brunch features fun elements like colorful umbrellas, blue signature drinks, and sugary treats all covered in -- you guessed it -- sprinkles.

Decor

Credit: Marty Baldwin

For a chic, inexpensive way to transform your setting, hang lots of paper lanterns in various shades of blue and green from the ceiling using clear fishing line. To make it "rain" indoors, cut raindrop shapes from blue or silver card stock to hang amidst the lanterns, or use strings of capiz shells made by tying shells together with clear fishing line.

  • 14-inch Round Paper Lanterns, $5.20 each, available at www.lunabazaar.com
  • Capiz shells with a pre-drilled hole, 17 cents a piece, available at www.shelloutlet.com

Food

Guests will love sprinkling a little bit of this and a little bit of that atop crepes and yogurt at a make-your-own-breakfast bar. Set out lots of savory and sweet toppings, like chocolate chips, strawberries, bananas, and granola with a sign that says "Sprinkle Toppings to Taste."

Mocktail

Credit: Mike Dieter

Pick a blue-hued signature drink -- like this Blue Heaven Mocktail -- to toast the mama-to-be. Since Blue Curacao Liqueur is what you usually use to get that clear blue color, cheat by tinting any soda or virgin cocktail blue with a few drops of food coloring.

Blue Heaven

Makes: One drink

4 ounces white cranberry juice

1 ounce ginger ale

Blue food coloring

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. cranberry juice, ginger ale, and blue food coloring. To get the mixture super-cold, swirl (don't shake). Pour into a glass and garnish with a slice of orange, a sprinkle of blueberries or a cocktail umbrella.
