I'm throwing a green baby shower for a friend at work. I never thought that coming up with ideas, decorations, and activities would be so difficult. I think it would be a little easier if it were not at work, but I'm determined to make it work.

So far, the theme has been decided - "Green is the new Pink."

The Oregon Environmental Council has some nice baby related information and tools. Here you can find the "tiny footsteps" site: http://www.oeconline.org/kidshealth/tinyfootprints. Here you can find the baby shower kit: http://www.oeconline.org/kidshealth/tinyfootprints/babyshowerkit/. The information is all online and you can get lots of good ideas there. Cheers!

Such a good idea!!!
I suggest that you let people know in their invitation that this is what you are trying to do and include some ideas toward that...

-no paper wrappings...
-organic/green type gifts
-good local food

Perhaps, given the time of year,
table decorations/centerpieces - plants...seeds...bulbs...
- plant seed beds of grass for centerpieces to sit on...guests can take them home to plant in their yards...

Suggest people wrap presents in diapers/blankets/bibs...etc...not paper...I'm sure you'll see some creative packaging!

Suggestions for baby gifts --
-anything that can be recycled...
-gift certificates for diaper service
-gift certificates for organic/whole food places...for food/other items
-homemade items
-recycled items
- gift certs for parents for dinners out/delivered

music -
fun camp tunes for kids to grow up with -
