Baby Shower Theme
Ideas for a Baby Shower Theme
There are people who prepare not to select a theme when they
prepare for a baby shower. However, having a baby shower theme
makes the celebration more organized.
When you have chosen a theme, you can easily think about what
decoration you are going to use for your preferred theme.
Without a theme, you are prone to picking several items that you
feel will look good, combine these, and get an unorganized look.
Selecting and preparing a baby shower theme is not a complicated
task. Here are some suggestions to give you an idea on how to
create a theme for your baby shower.
Teddy Bears
Since the teddy bear is one of the first toys your child will
own, it is nice to have a teddy bear theme. You can use
med-sized teddy bears to design the baby shower party area. It
is not necessary to buy the teddy bears; you can borrow these
from friends and family members. Also, you can purchase small
teddy bears as party favors to give to your guests.
Stars
Stars represent dreams. "A star is born," they say. You can
decorate the place with stars hanging from thin strings. You can
also design the walls and the ceiling with stars and heavenly
bodies. The program may also include wishes for the baby on how
he or she will be a dazzling star.
Diapers
This is the basic need of the newborn baby. The baby shower
organizer can decorate the area with diapers, especially those
with cute colors and designs. You can even prepare a diaper cake
by neatly stacking the diapers together.
The organizer can also ask the guests to bring diapers as gifts.
A better idea would be to have a raffle for a special prize in
which the raffle entry will be a diaper. This will help the
guests since they wouldn't have to think on what gift to buy. It
also helps the parents a lot, since they will have a supply of
diapers for several months.
Books
Baby and kid books are good gifts for the baby. With a
collection of baby books, the parents can have a small library
for the baby.
The decorations can be anything related to books. You can place
books on the table, or design the walls with books. You can even
have a book-shaped cake and cookies.
Noah's Ark
This is a good idea if the parents are expecting twins. The
guests will be requested to bring a pair of gifts for the
babies. Pairs of stuffed animals may be used to decorate the
place.
Prince/Princess
Everyone wants the new baby to feel like a prince or a princess.
You can adorn the place with fairy tale concepts pertaining to
royalty. You can create miniature towers and castles, a garden
and shining stuff fit for a royalty.
Fairy
This is a good option if you will be having the baby shower in
the garden. You can enhance the garden surroundings to make it
look like the home of fairies. You can include vines, arches,
bees and butterflies, as well as small fairy-like decorations to
create a fairy garden.
Characters
You can choose a storybook or cartoon character as a theme. How
about a superhero? There are lots of options, and once you have
selected one, you can think about what items the character is
associated with that you can use for the party.
With these simple ideas, you can conceptualize a special baby
shower theme that will be remembered by the parents and the
guests.
