Babies! Babies! And more Babies!

Is it just me, or does it seem like a lot of people are having babies lately? Maybe I'm just at the age where it's a pretty common occurrence. :-) At any rate, I have a lot of friends who are expecting, as well as a good part of my client base. One of my friends is actually having a "green" baby shower and gave me the wonderful idea for this blog.

Some common ideas include:
Create postcard invitations using recycled paper (Even better -- create an email invite!)
Use real plates and silverware instead of paper plates and plastic silverware.
Wrap gifts in eco-friendly alternatives (eg. baby blanket, cloth diaper, newspaper)

There are a lot of terrific ideas in the links provided above, and it's a great place to start. The bottom line is that throwing a "green" baby shower is easier than you might think. All you need to do is tap into your creative side and let the fun begin.
