Ice Cream Sundae Baby Shower, Cherry on Top

Who doesn't LOVE ice cream sundaes?  An ice cream themed baby shower is great because it's simple, it's fun and it works for a boy, girl or surprise.  It's probably best for a spring, summer or fall baby shower, but adding a little hot fudge or hot chocolate could certainly make it work in winter.  Filling small glass bowls with colorful and varied toppings will be a decoration all unto itself.  As you'll see, powder blue/turquoise, pink and light gray were the most commonly used color palette.

The Invitation

The first invitations are made by Loralee Lewis.  The font and scalloped edges are perfectly old school.  I want to be drinking a strawberry frappe out of an oversized straw, stat.

The Favors

Sending the guests home with actual ice cream could be a tricky, but these ice cream shaped cookies (made by Fun Sugar Cookies) take away the melt factor while maintaining the delicious theme.

The ice cream scoop below is from Crate and Barrel and would make perfect gift for the winner of a baby shower game.  Maybe a game of who can guess closer: how many ice cream scoops does the unborn baby weigh?  Okay, that might be weird and difficult to calculate.  

Your guests would love sprinkles for some future ice cream sundaes.  The colorful ones below can be found at Sur la table and Amazon.com.
