Bollywood Cookies & Milk Adoption Shower

Recently we hosted a baby shower for a dear friend. Since the baby was adopted from India, we thought it would be fun to incorporate a Bollywood theme, full of bright & cheerful colors. To make it even more fun, we had a menu of cookies and milk.
Gold elephants flanked each side of the dessert buffet and were spruced up with little blankets.
A Wishing Well greeted guests as they arrived and the table provided a spot to place gifts. Glass vases filled with Cookie Crisp cereal (ties in with cookie theme) and daisies were scattered throughout the party.
The table centerpiece was created with painted branches, tissue pom poms and butterflies.
Guests were able to write a message to the family on colorful elephant and monkey die-cuts and then hang the message on the tree.
Beverages included coffee and three flavors of milk: white, chocolate and caramel.
The cookie buffet consisted of lots of yummy cookies displayed on pedestals and  in varying sized jars tied with ribbon.

It was a lovely afternoon to welcome a new baby to the family!
