How to Make a French-Themed Baby Shower Backdrop
Host a French-Themed Baby Shower
Throw a fabulously French-themed shower for the soon-to-be-mother of a baby girl. Bold black and white details keep all that pink from becoming overly saccharine, and fun French bites and classic baby shower games come together to create a joyful afternoon that the guest-of-honor will never forget.

String Letters + Hang
Secure curtain rod in the top of window sill or doorway, and place a hook on either side at desired height. Measure a piece of twine across hooks allowing a slight drape and cut. Measure a second piece of twine across hooks allowing a greater drape and cut. String 'Bonjour' letters onto a short piece of twine, and string 'Bebe' letters onto a long piece of twine. Tie the ends of both garlands onto hooks and slide letters to the center.
