You should be on the look out for cute owls in different sizes and colors, brown polka-dotted tablecloths will be perfect, vintage small vases and decorative branches. You can put owls in the trees, hang hand-made banners, use browns, pastel greens, blues or pinks and add small flowers to the vases to add an extra detail. Another cute idea is to hang a clothesline and hang pictures of the mommy and husband-to-be from when they were small owls. Don't forget the ever so cute diaper cake and diaper wreath!
