Ok my wonderful fabulous friends, I am calling upon your expertise, my best friend is having her first baby, and loving all things Gothic, she has asked me to host her baby shower.

I have already done the invitations. Will post pics today. The cards are made up of black card stock, with pink skull and crossbones(with bow on top). Pink and silver rhinestones cover the outside of the invitation.

Now I am asking for any other ideas, suggestions that you can give to make this a truly Gothic baby shower.

Think Pink and Black, skull and crossbones(with bow on top).

This is the first thing I thought of when I read your post.

Halloween Themes & Ideas: Ghoul's Night Halloween Party

I also have visions of pacifiers with skulls attached over the top (the handle part - not the part that goes into the mouth). Pink pacifiers with black skulls and glitter? You could possibly use them as napkin rings.

Here is another idea from Hostess With the Mostess (I LOVE her site!). This one is a hot pink baby shower theme. You could get some ideas from this. Substitue black for the white in any of the ideas she has shown and it would be quite impressive. REAL PARTIES: Hot Pink Baby Shower | Hostess with the Mostess®

I LOVE this idea for a baby shower! Too cute!

ohhh those are great ideas..... The ghoul's night out really gave me some ideas for table decorating.

Now I must have pink Christmas lights...

Keep the ideas coming.

firedancer you hit the nail on the head with this picture. . This is the theme I am doing...

I really can't wait to get home and take a photo of the invitations to show you guys.

This is the party set I ordered today.. Don't care so much for the pirate theme, but it has everything else we are going for.

I am so tickled to have you guys and girls as my friends, thanks for the inspiration, and advice.

Here are the invitations, Hope you enjoy.

Those are fantastic!!! Great job!

Firedancer - thanks for posting the clothing link! I've GOT to order some stuff. The hubby will get such a kick out of some of their stuff. Can't have our baby looking all wimpy all the time. Plus it will totally freak grandma out (my mom). hehehe

wouldn't freak this grandmother out, this stuff rocks. my daughter however would freak but if i was throwing the party, at the same time she wouldn't be surprised. so do you have game ideas? or are you having games?
