There are people who prepare not to select a theme when they prepare for a baby
shower. However, having a baby shower theme makes the celebration more
organized.
When you have chosen a theme, you can easily think about what decoration you are
going to use for your preferred theme. Without a theme, you are prone to picking
several items that you feel will look good, combine these, and get an unorganized
look.
Selecting and preparing a baby shower theme is not a complicated task. Here are
some suggestions to give you an idea on how to create a theme for your baby
shower.
Teddy Bears
Since the teddy bear is one of the first toys your child will own, it is nice to have a
teddy bear theme. You can use med-sized teddy bears to design the baby shower
party area. It is not necessary to buy the teddy bears; you can borrow these from
friends and family members. Also, you can purchase small teddy bears as party
favors to give to your guests.
Stars
Stars represent dreams. "A star is born," they say. You can decorate the place with
stars hanging from thin strings. You can also design the walls and the ceiling with
stars and heavenly bodies. The program may also include wishes for the baby on
how he or she will be a dazzling star.
Diapers
This is the basic need of the newborn baby. The baby shower organizer can
decorate the area with diapers, especially those with cute colors and designs. You
can even prepare a diaper cake by neatly stacking the diapers together.
The organizer can also ask the guests to bring diapers as gifts. A better idea would
be to have a raffle for a special prize in which the raffle entry will be a diaper. This
will help the guests since they wouldn't have to think on what gift to buy. It also
helps the parents a lot, since they will have a supply of diapers for several months.
Books
Baby and kid books are good gifts for the baby. With a collection of baby books, the
parents can have a small library for the baby.
The decorations can be anything related to books. You can place books on the
table, or design the walls with books. You can even have a book-shaped cake and
cookies.
Noah's Ark
This is a good idea if the parents are expecting twins. The guests will be requested
to bring a pair of gifts for the babies. Pairs of stuffed animals may be used to
decorate the place.
Prince/Princess
Everyone wants the new baby to feel like a prince or a princess. You can adorn the
place with fairy tale concepts pertaining to royalty. You can create miniature towers
and castles, a garden and shining stuff fit for a royalty.
Fairy
This is a good option if you will be having the baby shower in the garden. You can
enhance the garden surroundings to make it look like the home of fairies. You can
include vines, arches, bees and butterflies, as well as small fairy-like decorations to
create a fairy garden.
Characters
You can choose a storybook or cartoon character as a theme. How about a
superhero? There are lots of options, and once you have selected one, you can
think about what items the character is associated with that you can use for the
party.
With these simple ideas, you can conceptualize a special baby shower theme that
will be remembered by the parents and the guests.
