Harrison woman's creation more than just a bridal box

Although I included the colors in the invitations, I did not work them into the food or drinks, so I definitely want to use lots of pretty pinks and soft blues in the decorations. To see how I'll do it, and to get some cute baby shower ideas, The baby shower I am planning for Naomi Watts is a sit down luncheon, so tables and chairs are a must.
