Throw a Pickle and Ice Cream Baby Shower for the Perfect Gender Neutral Baby Shower!

I have to be honest, I had never heard of a pickle and ice cream baby shower until I received a request via email for ideas. I think it is an adorable idea and makes me wonder if the theme has anything to do with the expecting mother’s cravings!

Pickle and Ice Cream Baby Shower Decorations

  1. The primary colors could be green for the pickle and the colors of napoleon ice cream: brown, pink, and beige.
  2. You can use pickle and ice cream printed plates and napkins, there are some adorable ones at www.plumparty.com.

Food for a Pickle and Ice Cream Shower

  1. Pickle tray with different types of pickles.
  2. Ice cream sundaes with different types of toppings.
  3. Anything pickled, I was looking at www.allrecipes.com and noticed that they have a lot of recipes for pickled things like beets, eggs, carrots, etc.

Games to play at your Strawberry Shortcake Baby Shower

  1. Guess how many pickles are in the pickle jar.
  2. If you have heard of the Mommy Advice Book, you could use the same concept except for you could call it, “In a Pickle Advice,” or “What To Do When You are In a Pickle.”
  3. Since this theme reminds me so much of cravings and will probably have the same effect on your guests, you could have the guests share their pregnancy cravings stories and have the expecting mommy pick which one grossed her out the most.
