Though a theme isn't necessary for a successful baby shower, it
can be a great way to pull a baby shower together. Unsure of
what games you should play? Can't choose between different food
spreads? Pick a baby shower theme and all of these aspects of
the baby shower will become clear. Here are just a few to choose
from.
Hollywood Themed Baby Shower
Your invitations can look like movie tickets. Your games can
focus on celebrity and movie trivia. You can even ask your
guests to dress up as movie stars, if you like! And of course,
hot dogs and popcorn are one choice for your guests or you could
go the opposite direction with fare that a healthy minded
Hollywood mom would love.
Tea Time Baby Shower
If you're having a 'girls only' baby shower, a fun way to
celebrate the new little one is to host an afternoon tea.
Decorations need be no more than what your living room already
holds or you may opt for a tea house instead. Food can include
finger sandwiches, scones, jam, and of course, a variety of tea
for each of your guests to choose from. Accentuating the
Victorian aspect of a traditional tea is another option as is
heading to the other side of the world for a traditional
Japanese tea theme for your baby shower.
Stock The Shelves Baby Shower
All new moms will need baby food, diapers, wipes, bath supplies,
formula or bottles - and lots of them. Pick one of these as your
theme and ask everyone to bring one as their gift or, if it's a
small item, in addition to their gift to the baby shower. Make
sure to specify brand or style if the new mom has a preference,
especially with formula. If you choose diapers, designate
different guests to bring different sizes. The little one won't
be little for long!
Time To Take Care of Mommy Baby Shower
The last thing a new mother wants to do is worry about the
basics after she brings home her newborn. Ask everyone to bring
something to the baby shower that will help Mom in the tough
weeks following the birth. Some ideas include: frozen
casseroles, gift certificates for maid services or offering of
your own cleaning or babysitting services. Mom won't feel like
socializing, nor will she likely be comfortable giving up her
new addition for a whole night out, but if you come over
regularly so that she can shower and nap - that is a gift worth
more than gold.
