The new baby girl is sure to be pretty in pink, and using the It's a Girl baby shower theme is the perfect way to welcome her into the world.

Invitations:
A simple white invitation with pink lettering will do for this theme. You can use the traditional rectangular shaped paper, or use paper in the shape of a carriage or a pair of booties. For either option, you can add a small accent to the invitation, such as a pink “It’s a Girl” pin or piece of confetti.

Decorations: Your main color will be pink, and most hostesses choose white as the other color. For all the suggestions below, you can use silver, gold or even brown instead of white.
Head Table:
-Pink tablecloth with pink and white tableware.
-Pink/white centerpiece and/or cake, and small party favors.
-Pink and white balloons on the back of each table.
-It's a Girl confetti scattered on the table.

Guest tables:
