Just found out I'm hosting a baby shower in 2 weeks!
So my sister-in-law just realized she needs to have her shower before Christmas because after Christmas all the snowbirds will be in Florida!
I always have tons of ideas but can't think of any or nothing sounds good from what I've saved. I wanted to do a bumblebee theme but the other hostess had already bought some simple invites since they had to get out so quickly. Any simple ideas you have to decorate in gender neutral tones would be great.
We think we will do chicken salad but I'm looking for some different ways to serve it. We've done it on crescents and in baked wonton cups. If you have any other great food ideas that would be helpful too!

I totally recommend her butternut squash gallette (sp?) It is out of this world.
Merci!
I just went to a dessert shower at 2 on a Sunday. There was cut up fruit, a Boston cream pie bombe, 3 different flavors of fudge, cupcakes (which no one touched because you'd have to mess up your teeth and lipstick), pumpkin cheesecake, a fresh fruit tart and a sherbert punch. The favors were chocolate "rattles". Everything was from a bakery, so the hosts had to do very little.
I dearly love chicken salad, but for me it's a summer food and out of season right now.

Thinking of doing cosmetic updates to a dated home? These were our costs.
I know I love chicken salad too and it's all we ever have around here for showers but the mom to be loves it ! That's why I'm trying to find something new to do with it.
When I was in school there was a restaurant that served chicken salad with dried cherries. It was one of my favorites there. This is how they served it:
Chicken salad with sundried cherries, almonds, lettuce and mayo on a croissant.
Or you could make finger sandwiches with it, and then use something like this to carry out the owl theme:

(Not sure if you think that idea is lame, but I thought I'd throw it out there).
That punch looks amazing! I love fun, refreshing punches like that. Did you spike it or keep it as is?
I don't have a recipe but how about adding nuts and dried cranberries to the chicken salad to bring it in season? And seve on either the wonton cups or some kind of cracker?
That ginger punch sounds yummy and perfect for your color!
Here is the link to the baby shower I just threw for my sister in-law. We did a gender neutral jungle theme. Some of the ideas look like they may work for your theme.
