The Invitation
This printable invitation by Apple Jack Designs reminds me of the bunting that I adore from the Summer Baby Shower post. The colors are soft and feminine and the design hits a sweet spot of not boring and not overwhelming.

The Menu
Drinks - Champagne punch. Yum. Click HERE for the awesome recipe from the blog Stranded in Cleveland (image below). And for a non-alcoholic version mix 2 quarts of cranberry or pomegranate juice, a can of frozen pink lemonade and a 1/2 liter bottle of sparkling water.
Food - Berry salad (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries, a little lemon juice, a little sugar) with whipped cream topping. Scones like the one below from the blog Savory Sweet Life and a selection of jams to enjoy with them (click HERE for the recipe). Butter cookies and puff pastries. Vanilla cupcakes with pink frosting and pink sprinkles.
