5. Pantone Inspired Décor

Dial up the fashionista within and take a leaf out of Pantone’s book. Use a Pantone color as your starting point and build your baby shower around it.

• Select a Pantone color that sets the mood for your gathering.
• Decorate your venue with color-coordinated elements and accents.
• Get creative with invites and have the color code as part of the invitation.
