Goddesses and Gods Greek Themed Baby Shower

• Go with the "baby shower friendly" invitation title of Goddesses and Gods and then let the guys know that this is basically a toga party.
• Send scroll invites to herald the party. Roll it up and keep it closed with a tassel.
• Mail the invitations in a cardboard tube.

Decor and Party Supplies

• Not only do Greek fashions work for guys, the high waistline on the female toga or kyton is very flattering on a pregnant woman. Ask everyone to come dressed for the occasion.
• Decorate the party space with faux Greek statuary and columns.
• Use white cloths on tables and draped fabric overlays in rich jewel tones such as burgundy or purple.
• Place a basket of grapes on each guest table for an easy centerpiece. Or simply create a garland down a long banquet table of lemon leaves and fresh fruit.
• Present food on gold-toned platters to replicate the opulence of the Gods and give guests goblets to drink from.

Food

• Hummus and pita bread or chips are one of the most popular party appetizers and readily available at most grocery stores.
• Fill in the menu with dolmades or stuffed grape leaves, olives, spanakopita, Greek salad, and specialties like tzatsiki and taramosalata, a Greek caviar dip.
• Lamb or chicken kabobs are a perfect entree and falafels are a good choice for the vegetarians in the crowd.
• Along with a baby shower cake, serve the Greek dessert baklava.
