When you have a cousin who lives in Manhattan and loves big city life a NYC themed baby shower only makes sense. My aunt wanted a NYC theme and after a few texts we settled on a two pronged theme-Baby in the City and a hot dog cart.

The hot dog cart theme was a little more difficult to execute than I anticipated. After I couldn’t get my husband to envision a 2-D version of my idea, I went in a different direction entirely.

Since my cousin is a proud member of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority that settled the main colors of red and white. I decided to go with a tabletop centerpiece to save space on the floor.

This would be a good idea for children’s birthday party or a summer cookout.
