Hosting a baby shower is one of the kindest gestures a friend or family member can do for a Mom to Be. In my personal experience, I have seen more and more pregnant women express their wishes to celebrate the new baby with an Organic and Natural theme- and there are numerous ways to accomplish this goal. Â Other than being more earth friendly, some of the benefits of hosting a Green Baby Shower are saving money (disposable items and wrapping paper can add up) and the appreciation you will get from your guest of honor & shower guests for your efforts to reduce waste and embrace a more eco-conscious theme.
I came across some wonderful green baby shower ideas this month and wanted to share a video this video featuring the Mother/Daughter team Corey Colwell-Lipson and Lynn Colwell,  authors of the book Celebrate Green .  This piece contains a  number of clever & easy ideas on how to “green” your baby shower.
I love their ideas of setting an organic table by banning disposables and utilizing your own china (also can be borrowed and rented).  Also, Organic Baby Rattles are an adorable idea to use as a napkin ring over cloth napkins….other tips:
- Make an Organic Cloth Diaper Cake (I know just the Cloth Diapers to recommend!) for the centerpiece..
- Place a Beeswax candle into a glass jars and personalize it.  This makes a beautiful table decoration- and a meaningful guest favor.
- Instead of wrapping paper- wrap your gift with a recieving blanket.
- Run a clothesline along the wall where guests can hang baby outfits along the clothesline….this serves as a meaningful decoration and eliminates need for wrapping paper.
There are so many tips and cute ideas in this video- Enjoy!
Thank you so much for including us on your blog! We had a great time with this segment and hope your readers enjoy the tips. Your fans, Corey & Lynn
