Eco-friendly parties allow the person who is throwing it to have the satisfaction of helping the earth, and for them to help influence friends and family to be more environmentally friendly as well. Sheryl Crow planned a green baby shower for her son Wyatt. There are many different ways to make a party eco-friendly. Starting with the invite, one way is to print your invitations on recycled card-stock. You can also find card-stock in a variety of natural fibers such as linen, bamboo and cotton. Design the invite with text, colors, and images that reflect your theme.
The gift theme could be instead of using wrapping paper, have guests use an organic baby blanket or towel and tie it with a bow. This saves on unnecessary waste.
The Earthy Atmosphere can include natural, biodegradable decorations instead of balloons and streamers. Simple arrangements of flowers and plants can be used to enhance the theme. Incorporate natural materials such as glass, water, rock, bamboo and candles for centerpieces.
The menu can be an opportunity to play off the green theme with color: Organic green salad, fruit salad made with kiwis, green apples, and grapes, organic frappe (a mixture of green sherbet and lemon-lime soda) and green petit fours are just a few ideas.
Games are a must and www.Treehugger.com mentions Darryl Hannah, Pink, Bono, Natalie Portman and Prince for being green. For more game ideas BabyShowerGamesAtoZ.com is a great site to visit.
