Themes for Baby Shower Party Planning

1. The Flower Shower

   Confused about which theme you should select for your new baby ‘buds’ shower? Well, you can’t go wrong with flowers. Flower themes for baby showers can include flower backgrounds, photobooth flower frames, and also crowns made out of your favourite flower for the baby mamma and her friends.

2. The Rainbow Theme Baby Shower

   Wanna keep a colour theme but can’t settle on one? Then just choose them all. More the colours, the better it looks. Go to the nearest craft shop and pick up ribbons, crepe papers and balloons of different colours. Not knowing the gender of the baby, multicolour rainbows are the perfect ideas for baby shower decorations.  

3. The Balloon Theme Baby Shower Party

Is a party every complete without some balloons? We think not. Just choose a theme colour or if not, you can always choose the traditional blue and pink theme for your baby shower decorations. Below are some ideas you can use for your baby shower, like balloons on the ceiling, a wall of balloons, letter balloons and also a teddy flying on a chandelier of balloons.

3. The Baby Supply Cake

   You can customize the decor on the cake to represent all the supplies your baby is going to need once he’s/she’s here. Instead of having them make it in sugar, you can also choose to place the real objects that you will be able to use in the future.

4. Baby Shower Cupcakes

Do you want it all on the cake? Well, then you can rather just go for cupcakes. You’ll then have the option of including all these cute designs on your baby shower cake.

Baby Shower Party Planning for the Messages for Mommy-To-Be

Probably the most precious part of the ceremony, where people would love to leave a message for the mum-to-be. Here’s how you can make these blessings stay with her forever.

Baby Shower Party Planning for Games and Entertainment

1. Baby Themed Photobooth

   Decorate a Photobooth for your guest to click pictures in and include some props to add to the fun. These baby props can include milk bottles, mini dresses, ‘It’s going to be a Boy’ dialogue bubbles or anything else. You can also have a cardboard cutout of a baby where your guest can place their head for a photo.

2. Baby Items in Bags – Baby Shower Party Games

   Keep the guests guessing with this practical game. Put at least ten common, useful baby items inside a diaper bag; a bib, teething ring, rattle, bottle and diaper are just a few goodies that are also fairly inexpensive. Give each guest a pen and paper before passing the diaper bag around. Without looking, each person should stick a hand inside the bag and identify as many items as possible. Give each two minutes to feel around and make their guesses before moving the bag to the next person. Once everyone has had a turn, find out who had the most correct answers. The winner gets a prize and the parents-to-be get the diaper bag filled with baby essentials!

3. Pehchan Kaun? – Baby Shower Party Games

Here’s a fun addition to the baby shower, guess who’s the baby. Ask all your guest or at least all your closest friends and family members to provide you with pictures from when they were little. To make things interesting you can give a prize to the person who guesses most of the baby’s identities correctly.
