“The Apple Of Our Eye Is On The Way” is a good baby shower theme year-round. In the fall you can use it with an autumn twist to incorporate fall leaves and colors, and in the summer it can be a red gingham design that you use. It’s a gender-neutral theme that’s good if you don’t want to announce the baby’s gender, and there are a lot of ways to decorate for it, depending on what time of year you’re having the shower. These are some ideas for decorations, food, and favors for an Apple of Our Eye baby shower.

You can also cut out a hole that’s wide enough to put a votive candle in to use as a candle holder.
Apple red or green table runners.
Get some table runners in fall patterns or shades of red and green to create a pretty base color that you can put the bowls of apples on. For the summer, use gingham for a summery feel, and for the autumn go with designs that feature apples and leaves.

Apple baby shower food ideas.

Apple pies.
This is the obvious choice, and it’s going to be a popular one. A dessert buffet filled with apple pies or tarts will be a fun option for guests, and they’ll be able to try out a few different flavors.

Apple cider bar.
Set up a drink station where you have apple cider, hot mulled cider in a crock pot, hot chocolate for the winter months, and flavored syrups to add to the drinks. Let guests serve themselves and mix their own combinations and flavors.
