The rhinestones are sticky on the back, actually used to decorate cell phones. Go to the local walmart in the craft section of near the phones and look around.. Now they are not sticky enough in my OP, so I used white glue on the cardstock. The package probably has over 200 stones for 4 bucks.

I am all ready to go on the baby shower, the only thing I am having a hard time finding is a suitable location, that isn't 200 bucks. I will keep you gals posted.

Well I lucked out, my boss has a bldg that they use to house out of town guests. They are letting me use it free of charge. So I have really lucked out there.

I went to the after christmas sell and found black christmas balls, for 2.00 for 24. I have taken them and strung pink ribbon. I have a couple of ideas I am playing with, maybe group several together and hang from the ceiling, or maybe just leave them individually and hang from the ceiling. I don't know why but i really like how they look, now just have to figure out how to incorporate them into the design.

I have a lady that will make the cake for 35.00 so I have to give her a call and get it on the calendar. The invitations have been set out and I have 12 that have RSVp'd, so looks like it will be a good turnout.

Now my question to you gals and guys, I need some ideas for food, in the pink and black theme, along with baby shower.

That's great you found a location, especially for free. I am not sure about black food ideas but you could do a lot with pink. A punch with raspberry sherbert floating on top would be a good beverage.

I googled "pink foods" and found this sight with recipes of all pink foods.

Food thoughts so far are:

Choc fountain (strawberries, banana's, pretzels)

chicken devon for the main course

little sausages

shish k bobs

finger sandwiches (tuna, etc)

crackers and cheese

meat and crackers

thats all I have for now.

how about black raspberrie jello with pink cool whip. how about tomato soup with white bread cut like bones and skely heads sprinkled in it just before serving. or hot chocolate with pink marshallows. did you get some of those ice trays of skeleton heads and bones from the dollar store at halloween time. you could do mints in those if you did. i think martha stewart has a bone candy recipe

Ok I really like the raspberry jello with pink cool whip and the hot choc and pink marshmallows... UMMMMM

I need hot choc now...

the ideas are good .. its too cute and too fantastic for a Gothic baby shower ... the choice of colors are good and quite cute for baby .. the logo or the assigned skull for the shower is very very cute and good enough ... hope the party will be success
