Novel Punch Ideas For Your Baby Shower

When it's time to throw a baby shower for your best friend, you want to pay particular attention to having just the right refreshments. One of these dilemmas that you have to face is what type of punch you should have. Actually, this is probably one of the easiest problems to solve. What kind of fruits does the mommy-to-be like? By looking online, you will find hundreds of easy punch recipes for use at baby showers. Look for baby shower punch recipes that incorporate the little mama's favorite fruits, and you'll have a hit right away. However, at a baby shower, keep in mind that the presentation of the punch can be even more important than the choice of recipe.

Obviously, baby showers are fun, happy get-togethers, and you want your baby shower refreshments to reflect the whimsical theme that you've selected. For example, if you've based your shower on a duckie theme, you can make a blue punch in a baby bathtub and float rubber duckies in it. A great blue punch recipe is: Mix 1 64-oz. can of blue Hawaiian punch with a 2-liter bottle of sprite and a pint of vanilla ice cream. Let the ice cream melt and stir until smooth.

Of course, if the baby is going to be a girl, you probably won't want a blue punch. So what can you do to spruce up your pink punch to make it both girly and cute? How about making a strawberry pink baby shower punch and serving it in baby bottles? Remove the nipples and insert plastic straws through the tops, and your guests will have great fun drinking from baby bottles. A recipe for strawberry punch is as follows: Mix 3 liters of ginger ale with 2 packages of frozen strawberries and a gallon of strawberry sherbet. Let sit until strawberries begin to thaw and stir.

Using frozen teething rings to keep the punch cold is also a cute and practical idea. Any time you can incorporate necessary items for a mom-to-be (such as the bathtub and teething rings) into your decorations, the more goodies you'll have to send home with the guest of honor. Have fun coming up with your baby shower punches and refreshments, and let your creativity shine through.
