Fun Themes For Your Next Baby shower
Everybody loves a baby shower. Showers are full of fun and hope - fun for a few hours of friendly socializing, and hope for the baby's safe birth and bright future.
Everyone gets a chance to see how the mother-to-be is doing, how she is decorating the nursery, and what her plans are for the baby's birth. Guests who have had children themselves get to share their stories about their own childbirth experiences. Many times these are the same guests who gathered months or years earlier for the mother-to-be's bridal shower, and they get to catch up with old and new friends.
Planning a baby shower can be a lot of work, and there are a lot of decisions for the hostess to make along the way. The end result is well worth the effort, and having an overall theme for the baby shower makes the decision making easy.
Consider using one of these themes for the next baby shower you plan:
Baby Animal Theme
Baby animals are adorable, and animals are a popular baby shower theme. Start the theme by selecting baby shower invitations with baby bears or ducks on them. Decorate the party venue with stuffed animals that double as baby gifts, and send a box of animal crackers home with your guests. Decorate a plain sheet cake with frosted animals or make a cake in the shape of an easily recognizable animal like a rabbit or teddy bear.
It's A Boy Theme
When you know in advance that the baby is a boy, celebrate the baby's sex with a boy baby shower theme. Send blue invitations and decorate the party room with blue and white balloons, blue ribbons, and a blue frosted cake. Decorate with traditional toys for baby boys like trucks, boats, sports balls, and dinosaurs; let the mother-to-be take the toys home with her as gifts.
It's A Girl Theme
Similar to the "It's A Boy" theme, this baby shower theme requires knowing in advance that the mother-to-be is expecting a girl. Tie a pink and white balloon bouquet to your mailbox to help guests find your house. Go full out and decorate the room in pink and white. Serve pink lemonade or pink punch, and serve sugar and spice cookies with a pink frosted cake.
Mommy's Choice Theme
This baby shower theme is the most personal of all. Find out how the new parents are decorating their nursery, and match the baby shower theme to the nursery theme. Let all your guests know what the theme is so they can select gifts and gift wrapping paper that fits in with the décor of baby's new room. Keep the theme in mind when you select the baby shower invitations, refreshments, and games.
