A baby shower is something that the mom-to-be or parents-to-be will remember for years and years, if not their lifetime. Especially the first baby, not that the next ones are not lmemorable, but first times always stick with you because it is a whole new experience.
That is why, it is great to celebrate the impending bundle of joy. It’s a blessing first of all, and babies don’t happen very often.
Now, when you’re hosting, you want to make the baby shower really special, fun and memorable. Especially for the mom-to-be. And you would want your guests to remember it as well.
The best way to add a greater sense of festivity to the baby shower is to have a “theme.” You can either go classic or modern, have forest adventure wooded wonderland or fairy tales featuring princesses and fairies, and you can either go with bold hues or minimalist like white and monochromatic colors, with matching decorations, interesting treats and party favors.
If you are planning on what theme to have for your baby shower, here are some baby shower theme ideas that will surely pique the interest of your mom-to-be or parents-to-be, and guaranteed to help you organize the fun and memorable baby shower you are hoping to put together.
1. Garden Party Theme
This is perfect for springtime baby, and if not, then it can actually give your venue the feel of spring. It’s a the season that really lits up the spirit. You can add a springtime garden as a backdrop, add some fresh picked flowers wrapped in colorful cloth napkins. Place them on tables or seating arrangements where your guests can choose to bring them home as sweet party favor.
2. Sunflower Theme
Who doesn’t love sunflowers? The color alone can put you in such a lovely mood and the color can lit up the room. Make a couple of sunflower arrangements using small colorful vases, place them on each table and accent them with yellow and orange plated and table napkins. Then, make some sunflower- shaped cupcakes along with other cupcakes for added fun.
3. Rainbow Theme
Rainbows is believed to be a symbol of pure joy and happiness, and a new baby brings the same – that is why babies are referred to as “a bundle of joy.” Reason being, rainbow is a perfect theme for celebration.
Drape colorful pastel colored fabric over each table, then scatter different colors of balloons in differents shapes and sizes and some rainbow colored ribbons, draped some of the ribbons on the chairs and sofas. Decorate your cupcakes with different-colored toppings or icing, and make arrangement for each table. Your guests can bring home some of these cupcakes as a sweet party favor.
4. Summer Daisies Theme
This is perfect for a summer flowered inspired outdoor baby shower. You can have them in the parents-to-be or one of their family or friend’s house garden or perhaps you could rent a space in a park or other outdoor venue. Have some fresh picked flowers for your decorations. Daisies is one the easiest flowers to replicate, so you can mix them up – real daisies and some handmade. Now you need not have everything flower-shaped, you can have yellow and white fabrics draped on the tables, some.party balloons in pastel yellow and white, have some lollipops and rubber ducks party favors and use some gingham table cloths too.
5. Woodland Wonderland Theme
This is another outdoorsy baby shower full of wildlife and whimsy. It is another fun theme that is so alive, with some flora and fauna as your main decoration, using bird’s nests with some colorful candy eggs, cloches, and faux-bois pedestals. Then, elevate the standard grazing table by making some arrangement centerpieces for each table made with cupcakes and cookies shaped in different forest animals. Your guests can take home some of these treats as a party favor.
