Fun And Creative Baby Shower Ideas
By Nicole Munoz

Planning a baby shower can be a lot of fun, but it can also be
difficult to find just the right decorations, games, and
refreshments for your shower. Choosing a theme to plan your
baby shower around is a good way to bring all the aspects of a
baby shower together in a uniform way. Baby shower themes can
be as simple or as detailed as you like, just keep in mind the
likes and dislikes of the expectant parents you are planning for
and be creative.

A simple, tried and true baby shower theme is baby bottles.
Baby bottle shaped shower invitations are easy to locate and
many bakeries offer bottle shaped cakes. Play some fun games
that involve baby bottles, like dropping clothespins into the
bottle or tossing coins into one, and use small bottles without
the nipple for drinking glasses during the shower. Remember to
wash out the bottles for the new mom to take home. Decorated
baby bottles filled with candy or bath beads make wonderful
shower favors for guests at an all girl shower.

You could also plan your baby shower around the new arrival’s
nursery theme. Choose invitations that match the theme, like
teddy bears or Noah’s Ark, and note that it is a “nursery
shower”. Encourage your guests to bring gifts for the nursery,
like changing and grooming supplies, storage solutions,
blankets, and other items that match the theme. Decorations can
also reflect the nursery theme and you can even have the cake
decorated the same way.

Traditional rules for baby shower planning are often
disregarded for more exciting ideas and themes that better fit
our fast-paced society. Instead of a traditional afternoon baby
shower, plan a baby shower brunch around 10:00 on a Saturday
morning. You may choose to combine your brunch shower with
traditional baby shower gifts and activities or throw a spa
style brunch shower for experienced mothers-to-be who already
have their baby gear. A baby shower brunch can be an elegant
way to celebrate your friend’s new arrival. Serve pastries,
quiche, and fresh fruit or a simple breakfast casserole and keep
the decorations simple.

Try a coed pregnant baby shower for a memorable shower no one
will forget. Invite your guests to come to the shower pregnant,
with pillows or blankets stuffed into their shirts. Use a
simple baby theme and decorate accordingly, serve traditional
refreshments, and play some traditional shower games with the
pregnant guest of honor. Remember to take lots of pictures and
make copies for the expecting mom.

Another theme that creates lasting memories and is perfect for
a coed baby shower is “A Star is Born”. Serve a star shaped
cake featuring baby’s name if it has been chosen and decorate
with an awards show flair. The 4 tier Baby Cake “A Star is
Born” Diapercake makes a perfect centerpiece for this baby
shower theme and is a useful gift for the guest of honor. This
theme also works well for baby showers thrown after the new
baby’s arrival and can feature lots of pictures of the new star.
