The ABC of Baby Shower Themes
By Chris Ryerson
There are some people out there that plan a baby
shower and never even consider a theme. Often they will say it is much easier to
not worry about the theme. However, the end result of planning a baby shower
without a theme is a big mismatch of unorganized stuff. The person without a
theme simply goes out and buys whatever catches their interest. They buy the
cake flavor they like, the decorations that caught their eye, and the baby
shower centerpiece that looked fun. This will often lead to a disorganized feel
for the event.
By taking a little tie and planning a theme before starting anything else on
the baby shower planning you will start way ahead of the game. It will ensure
that the baby shower is a wonderful, well planned and thought out event that
everyone will really enjoy. Beside it can be a lot of fun to create a them.
Some simple tips before taking on any of these themes:
* Enlist the help of other friends. More minds = more ideas = more helping
hands
* Take the time and plan ahead
* Loosen up a bit and have fun with the theme.
So now let's continue on to the good stuff. Here are a list in alphabetical
order of possible theme for your next baby shower.
Stars- Everyone know that the new born baby will for sure be the star
of the family. Why not put together a baby shower with a star theme. You can
purchase fun confetti stars from a local party store to spread out on the table
and cut out some larger starts to adorn the walls with.
The Stork - You can always have a fun theme using a stork that brings
in a newborn baby. Again you can find things at a local party store, and on the
Internet for this theme.
Storybook/Movie Characters - If you have a favorite character from a
movie or children's storybook this can make a great theme also. For example a
classic Winnie the Pooh can make great decorations and a fun theme. Have your
baby shower in the 100-acre forest and make some fun pots of honey to decorate
the walls or the tables with.
Stuffed Animals - Since one of the first toys that a baby will often
lay with is a stuffed animal these can make very practical and fun decorations.
You do not even have to buy all new stuffed animals or teddy bears. Simply
borrow some from friends. Also your local craft or party store will most likely
have some small teddy bear party favors that can be used. For a fun centerpiece
put the stuffed animals in a small circle facing out and tie balloons to each
one.
Prince/Princess - It seems like every new baby loves attention and
being the little prince or princess of the house. Why not build on this and have
prince or princess theme for the baby shower. Some fun decorations like small
castle walls, and a crown would fit well with purple (royal color) tablecloths
and balloons.
While these are just a few of the ideas that you can use and you might not
find exactly what you are looking for the idea is to start your own imagination
rolling. You want to be creative and have fun with the theme. By thinking about
it and choosing something you like the theme will come together faster. Remember
to relax, eave yourself enough time to complete the task and plan with friends.
If you follow these simple steps and read the suggestions above you are sure to
have a wonderful baby shower.
