With a few helpful hints, decorating for your blocks baby shower can be as easy as 1, 2, 3!  You can find block-themed partyware or decorate tablecloths yourself with colored paper "blocks".  Order matching block-themed baby gifts and use it as your centerpiece, or purchase alphabet blocks and stack them around the guest tables.  The alphabet blocks can even be used for a game during the shower - have guests stack blocks as high as possible with their eyes closed or use the blocks to spell out baby name suggestions for the new mom!

By adding a little creativity to your menu planning, guests will be able to enjoy block-themed food at the shower.  Cube up melons and serve them in a square dish.  Cut sandwiches into squares and serve with cubes of cheese.  You can even serve a block shaped cake by stacking 3 9x9 square cakes on top of one another, then frosting and decorating to look like a block.  Finish with punch that has a giant ice "cube" rather than an ice ring, or add a little jiggle to your dessert with jello cubes.  Who knew that hosting a block-themed baby shower would be so much fun!
