When celebrating the life yet to come, if we think sustainably we can actually help other lives as well. Planning a green baby shower can be an absolute fun way if planned properly.

Instead of choosing the contemporary way of inviting your guests, use recycled paper options. Another way is to go for the e-invitation cards for no paper wastage. The green theme of the shower should be mentioned, so that the guests also come prepared according to the theme.

The Green mom-to-be:

As per the theme, the mother should be made to wear earth friendly colors like green, white and brown. The dress she wears should be made up of organic cloth to add to the green environment.

Decorations:
