Our Top 5 Baby Shower Themes
Are you looking for a creative way to herald the arrival of your beautiful new addition to the family? Take a look at the hottest new ideas in themed baby showers. We’ve selected our five favorite baby shower themes:
- Cutesy Baby Animal Themes
Baby animals are simply adorable! In fact, baby ducks, lambs and puppies, are almost as irresistible as a newborn baby boy or girl. If you can’t decide which baby animal you like best, Noah’s ark provides an excellent backdrop for a host of baby animals. There is just something so innocent, honest, and loving about baby animals that they are naturally an excellent theme for baby showers.
- Nursery Rhyme Themes
One would think that maybe newborn babies are too young to know about nursery rhymes, but mothers and guests alike simply love this theme. Popular nursery rhymes include “Jack and Jill,” “Mary Had a Little Lamb,” “Hey Diddle Diddle,” “Humpty Dumpty”, and more.
- Princess and Dolls
If the mom-to-be knows she’ll be having a girl, a doll or princess theme is an excellent idea. Many mommies like to think of their daughters as their little princesses, so fill a princess or doll-themed shower with lots of pinks, glittering tiara or wand motifs, and maybe even an exquisite glass Cinderella pumpkin coach favor or two. You’ll find a wide selection of cute princess or doll-themed favors at www.FavorFavorBaby.com - Circus Theme
Once again, baby animals and baby humans just seem to go together. The festive atmosphere that surrounds a carnival or circus, though, is more the focus of a circus-themed baby shower than just the cuteness of baby circus animals. Remember that clowns, magicians, the lion tamer, toys, games or rides can complement those little baby circus elephants and adorable show ponies.
- Sports
Mothers-to-be seem to love helping to shape their little baby boy’s sports preferences (of course it helps, too, if baby learns early from dad which teams to root for). You can choose from generic sports themes such as just baseball or basketball paraphernalia, etc. to actual team-themed showers. This way, the baby will already have picked his favorite team before he is even born!
Picking a theme for your baby shower can be a fun and rewarding experience. It can also make it easier for your guests to buy gifts, if you haven’t registered anywhere. Whether you pick one of these themes or get creative on your own, remember to do what feels right and have fun doing it!
