Baby Shower Party
Theme
A baby shower party theme can be about different
things. There are many ways to bring a theme into a baby shower. It
can be about the decor of the party or it can also be about the type
of gifts the mom to be wants to receive. Let's take a look at both
of these options and some tips for planning a themed baby
shower.
Decorating Themes for Baby
Showers
When you plan a baby shower, you might choose a
theme because of the decor. Perhaps you know the mom to be likes a
particular color or has plans for a specific type of decor for the
baby's nursery. You can set up your shower to follow a particular
theme with the decorations and tableware you choose. This might also
be based on the time of year it is. If there are particular colors
she likes, you can decorate the party room in those colors. If the
gender of the expected child is known, you can also decorate the
shower for that child specifically. If you know she has a theme in
mind for the nursery, you can ask the guests to keep this in mind
with their gift purchases.
When you decorate for a themed baby shower,
you can do the balloons in a specific color, the plates, cups,
cutlery and napkins in that style and you can give out party favors
that follow that specific theme. This can be a lot of fun and there
are great resources to help you get all the supplies you
need.
Other Baby Shower Party Theme
Options
When you have a specific theme in mind for the
party gift giving, this is another story. Perhaps the mom to be is
having a second child or multiple showers. This might mean that
specific gifts are desired over others. Today, many women have baby
showers for subsequent babies and don?t need all the items that come
with a traditional shower or women can be thrown two, three or more
baby showers and don't necessarily need all the showers to be the
very same.
It is becoming a common trend to be invited to a
themed shower following a diaper theme or a book shower where your
purpose for the shower is to spend time with the expectant mom and
bring a gift that follows that theme. For a diaper shower, everyone
purchases diapers for the mom and often a diaper cake is the
centerpiece.
For a book shower, the gifts
are story books for the nursery. If the expectant mother has
everything she needs for the baby, the shower might even be more
about pampering her for her birth. This might mean that you purchase
gifts for her such as comfort items for her hospital bag such as
bath and beauty products.
Another baby shower party theme idea might be a
tea party or layette party where specific gifts are
given in a particular style. Sometimes there are couples baby
showers as well where the theme allows for the expectant dad to be
involved as well.
Whatever the hostess throwing the party chooses
to do, accessorizing with the baby shower party theme and buying
great themed party favors is a great way to highlight the party and
make it all the more memorable.
Planning a unique baby shower is a great way
