A "ready to pop" baby boy shower

I'm excited to share a glimpse at the "ready to pop" shower my colleagues threw as a surprise for me and my baby boy shortly before my due date. They know I have a weakness for popcorn, especially all of the specialty varieties at Patty's Popcorn in Hyde Park, so they felt the "ready to pop" theme was perfect. Plus, I'd been feeling like I was ready to pop at that time.

My colleagues took great care in selecting the refreshments for our afternoon celebration. We enjoyed:

• multiple flavors of gourmet "pop"corn 
• cake "pops" (and cupcakes)
• "pop"eroni and cheese 
• blue "pop"tail cocktails (and mocktails for this mama)

They were so sweet to go all out and we loved all of the new goodies for our sweet boy. 

Are you planning a baby shower for new parents or a "sprinkle" for a seasoned mama? I've compiled my favorite ideas and thought starters here. Enjoy!
