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!

. 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.

That's a good thing! :D My mom is pretty vanilla, bless her heart. lol She doesn't get the whole skull thing and she certainly doesn't get the "biker look" John & I sport at times. lol

I CAN'T WAIT to put baby in something with a skull on it...she will roll her eyes FOR SURE. :D

Sorry...back to the original topic now. :eek:

lol I love it! I would melt seeing your little girls. I also love that style. You won't be seeing my little one in a bunch of yuppie clothes (not that there's anything wrong with it, just not for us).

Nope, we don't know the sex so I will have to wait until after baby comes.

There's flannel at JoAnne's fabrics that has skulls on it, some in blue & some in pink. I am SO going to buy some after the baby comes and sew a little blanket to wrap em up in.

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.

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
