Baby showers represent a very exciting time for a family as they celebrate the upcoming arrival of a new member. They also give friends and family the opportunity to come together to make new memories and celebrate with the new parents. While planning a baby shower may be easier than you think, it is truly the memories that come from the get together that will be cherished forever - so have fun with it! Create your own theme or do a little research on the future mommy or daddy and the baby shower ideas will be endless.
Picking a Theme
Today's baby shower themes include everything from the tried and true duck or teddy bear themes to more contemporary and sophisticated themes. If you want to have a shower that truly stands out from the rest, think beyond the ordinary and give the old, fresh new twists. Personal ideas are the best ideas. They show the guest of honor that you took your time and not only love them but really know what makes them tick.
There is no need to do the same tired shower idea that has been done over and over. With so many great ideas out there, do not settle for the mundane. Be creative and choose a theme that would reflect the interests and taste of the mom-to-be, or couple. Start by researching the daily life of the new parents. This should give you ideas on the shower and possible even gift ideas to help make that day a little easier.
- Do they collect antiques, like history or researching their ancestry? Perhaps a theme centered on yesteryear. Decorations can include antique or vintage baby clothes, old baby photos, and vintage toys. Games could include a "guess the baby," "middle name guesses" or games from bygone days.
- Are they avid gardeners? A garden party may be ideal. Party favors can include anything from flowers, gloves, straw hats, seeds, or a personalized flower pot.
- Photography- Perhaps your guest of honor is an armature photographer. Why not set up the party to look like a studio, or select some surprise gifts that add to their gear. Tables can be decorated with unraveled film, and photos of the couple.
- Eco-friendly baby showers are among the hottest trending baby shower ideas.
- Favorite books or movies can also make great themes.
- Have the theme match the theme they have chosen for the nursery.
