Today instead of featuring different gifts to present to your guests, wedding party, or significant other, we want to instead give a gift to you! Our gift may not come wrapped, or in a fancy box, but we happen to think it’s pretty special. So, without further ado…

Kate Middleton’s Baby Shower! Or at least our version of it! Everyone knows that the Duchess is pregnant and is due in July, and traditionally showers are held about a month before the date.

In Royal practices, a baby shower has never been thrown before, but rumor has it that Pippa, Kate’s younger sister, will in fact be hosting an event for her sister. The modern “mum”-to-be has decided to adopt this practice and although the who, what, when, where will be a heavily guarded secret, Essence of Events has decided to come up with our version of what her baby shower would be like, if we had planned it!

The theme of the baby shower would be English Tea Party. There are so many adorable directions you can go with this fashionable trend right now, that it would be perfect for Kate. And it is so decidedly English, that people would expect nothing less!

An adorable invitation like this would play upon the theme of the day, while still maintaining her fun-loving side that she is well known for.

The décor should be kept neutral and a white color scheme, as to not reveal the gender of the baby. Having a white baby shower, or décor for your child’s room, is increasingly popular anyway; a trend the duchess is sure to be aware of. We just love these baby’s-breath pom poms and simple floral designs.

The English Tea Party design is clearly shown in this neutral pallet color scheme, and sweet touches throughout the tablescape. Her baby shower is sure to be a classy affair, with delicate touches and personal thoughts.

These vintage-inspired cupcakes blend tremendously with the theme. With the calming color pallet, attention to detail, and tea party inspired design, they are just made for this baby shower!

Since tea parties and afternoon tea in England consists of a lot of dessert options, having a sweet bar where guests can help themselves is a lovely idea.

Bite-sized finger sandwiches of cucumber are delicious, other options include smoked salmon, ham, or cheese; but there are so many different choices. It’s all up to you and your taste buds!

Everyone knows that cake pops are popular, but putting macrons on a stick? Genius! This is a delicious, unique, and totally on-trend desert idea.

These enchanting cookies can also make an appearance at the dessert station. Of course Kate is known for her custom wardrobe, so her baby shower food should be no different! The attention to detail on these is extraordinary.

Having sweets that sit in their own dishes is a new trend, and these pudding parfait shots are looking too yummy!

A delicate ruffle cake that is just as sweet as a new baby!
