Use
the Moon and Stars Theme to
create the perfect ambience
The moon and stars theme is all about candlelight and relaxation. These decorating ideas will make the mom-to-be and your guests feel like they are "under the stars" on a clear and bright night.
Invitations
Use a nice blue paper with little gold stars all over, and start
off with a cute nursery rhyme such as “Twinkle twinkle little star…” or
“Star light, star bright…”
Decorations
Use blue and gold for the moon and
stars theme. Lots of blue will represent a clear nighttime sky, and the
shiny gold will represent the stars.
