1. Strawberry Picnic Tablescape
   Use gingham linens, straw hats, and low picnic tables with scattered faux strawberries. Mason jars of wildflowers and wooden crate risers give a rustic, summery feel. Small bowls of fresh strawberries double as décor and snack.

2. Blueberry Ombre Dessert Table
   Create a layered dessert display in shades of blue and purple: blueberry macarons, ombre cupcakes, and a centerpiece cake frosted in graduated blues. Add sprigs of fresh mint for contrast.

3. Mixed-Berry Brunch Buffet
   Offer a build-your-own parfait station with strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, and blackberries alongside granola, yogurt, and honey. Include berry-infused pastries and a mimosa bar with berry purees.

4. Berry-Petal Baby Name Banner
   Design a banner with painted berry shapes spelling out the baby’s name. Use paper petals or felt cutouts for a tactile, handmade look that can become nursery décor afterward.

5. Raspberry Lemonade and Punch Bar
   Serve refreshing raspberry lemonade, strawberry basil spritzers, and a non-alcoholic berry punch. Label each beverage with small chalkboard signs and offer fun striped straws.

6. Berry Basket Centerpieces
   Fill woven baskets with a mix of artificial and real berries, seasonal blooms, and eucalyptus. These centerpieces are versatile and easy to scale for long tables or small round ones.

7. Berry Onesie Decorating Station
   Set up a craft table with plain onesies and fabric markers, berry-shaped stamps, and appliqués so guests can personalize a keepsake garment for the baby.

8. Fruit-Forward Invitation Suite
   Send invitations with watercolor berry illustrations, playful fonts, and a soft color palette (pinks, corals, lavenders, and navy accents) to set expectations for the theme.

9. Berry-Themed Games and Activities
   Try a “guess the number of berries” jar, berry trivia about baby names (e.g., name origins tied to nature), or a station where guests write wishes on berry-shaped cards to hang on a "wishing vine."

10. Berry Favors with a Twist
    Send guests home with mini jam jars, berry-scented candles, or small potted strawberry plants wrapped in kraft paper and tied with ribbon.

11. Berry Photo Backdrop
    Build a photo wall of oversized paper strawberries and blossoms, or a curtain of berry-colored crepe streamers and fairy lights for instant Instagram-ready shots.

12. Dessert Bar with Berry Pairings
    Pair each berry type with complementary flavors: strawberries + balsamic glaze, blueberries + lemon curd, raspberries + dark chocolate. Label pairings so guests can taste-test.

13. Seasonal Berry Shopping Guide
    If your shower coincides with local berry season, create a small handout or chalkboard listing the best local farms and markets for fresh fruit-themed recipes and gifts.

14. Coordinated Color Palette and Textures
    Unify the event with a palette of soft pinks, blush, berry red, and muted greens; mix textures like linen, rattan, and glossy ceramic to create depth without overwhelming the theme.
